SELLING YOUR HOME
WHAT SETS US APART TECHNOLOGY The Magnificent Manors Team prides ourselves on our creativity to reach the broadest demographic of buyers who will be interested in purchasing your house. We use a systematic integrated digital and traditional marketing approach that goes beyond putting a sign in the yard and listing in MLS. Through the exclusive Keller Williams Listing System (KWLS), your property is fed to more than 350 online search engines and is available on KW’s web network of more than 76,000 sites. We expand our reach to international buyers through our Proxio multiple listing membership. And we target international buyers with the language translator on our Magnificent Manors website. To complete our digital marketing portfolio, we design targeted campaigns through our many social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterist expanding our audience of buyers for your house. TEAMWORK KW Metro Center was designed to reward agents for working together. Based on the belief that we are all more successful if we strive toward a common goal rather than our individual interests, we know that every KW professional shares the common goal of serving you, our client, in the best way possible. KNOWLEDGE KW Metro Center helps us stay ahead of trends in the real estate industry through its comprehensive, industry-leading training curriculum and research resources. It’s what prepares us to provide you with unparalleled service and local market expertise. RELIABILITY Founded on the principles of trust and honesty, KW Metro Center emphasizes the importance of having the integrity to do the right thing, always putting your needs first. It reinforces our belief that our success is ultimately determined by the legacy we leave with each client we serve. TRACK RECORD Keller Williams has surged past its competitors to become the number one real estate franchise in agent count, closed units, and closed sales volume in the US. In 2019, the company’s 180,000 US agents closed more than 1 million units, generating more than $300 billion in sales revenue. This achievement in growth and volume is driven by the commitment and excellence of KW agents to serve their clients. As more agents and teams have joined Keller Williams’ ranks, the company has continued its climb. We are proud of this milestone. However, it’s not the final destination for Keller Williams. It has simply positioned us for what’s next in an industry that is rapidly changing.
When staging a home, 22% of sellers’ agents reported an increase of 1% - 5% of the dollar value offered by buyers in comparison to similar homes. *National Assocation of Realtors® Research Group - 2019 Profile of Home Staging Report

MEET MARYBETH CEO, MBA & Realtor®, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist® Accredited Staging Professional®, Serving VA, DC & MD c: 703.798.1803 | o: 703.224.6000 marybeth@magnificentmanors.com
© 2020 Fraser Consulting, Inc.
Marybeth’s clients call her “a home selling hero” and “the best agent I have ever worked with” because she takes a different approach to buying and selling real estate. She views real estate as an asset in her clients’ wealth portfolio. When selling, she remodels, polishes and stages her client’s houses to transform them into “magnificent manors” so each dollar invested returns $1.50, and most times even more. Her ability to polish the house to appeal to the broadest market of buyers typically leads to multiple offers above list price. When buying, she looks for the “magnificent manor” her clients love that will also contribute to their wealth portfolio when they decide to sell. Throughout the process, she acts as an advisor and expert negotiator, always advocating for her clients’ best interests. And she makes the process fun and efficient for everyone.
AWARDS
Prior to real estate, Marybeth served as an executive with Sprint and two wireless start-ups where she led sales, operations and program management teams. She also founded and led two consulting businesses where she advised executives on how to increase shareholder value and top line revenue by developing and executing powerful corporate, brand and marketing strategies. Serving the community and those in need is a deep seeded philosophy of Marybeth’s. As an Advisory Board Member of the Virginia Hospital Center Foundation (VHCF) Women’s Health Circle and a member of the VHC Galen Society, she works to bring outstanding health care services to the community and the under served. She also serves on Signature Theatre’s Emeritus Board, a Tony Award winning regional theatre. And she is actively involved with the Mothers of North Arlington (MONA) where she founded and co-chairs the Business Entrepreneurial Network Group whose mission is to help moms excel as entrepreneurs. She was recently selected to serve on the St. Ann Parish Council and is an Alumnae of the FBI Citizens Academy. In between community service projects, you will find Marybeth with her family traveling around the world, sitting in front of her computer trading stocks, Olympic lifting at the gym and working to perfect the ever challenging handstand and back bend walkover. Marybeth earned a BA from Smith College and an MBA with a concentration in Marketing from George Washington University. She is a member of the professional real estate organizations that include the National Association of Realtors®, Virginia Association of Realtors® and the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors.

WHY WE WORK BY REFERRAL...
MAGNIFICENT MANORS TEAM OF KW METRO CENTER RELATIONSHIPS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRANSACTIONS You may have noticed that many real estate agents take a transactional approach to sales—identifying clients, closing the deal and them moving on to the next one. We choose not to work that way because we believe you deserve more from the real estate professionals you select. That’s why we work by referral.
WE WORK TO EARN YOUR TRUST We work hard to deliver extraordinary results and to earn your future referrals. Our legacy with each of our clients is 120% satisfaction at the end of our transaction together. We want you to be so excited about your experience with the Magnificent Manors Team that you can’t wait to tell your friends and family about us and the exceptional service and results you received. When you come across an opportunity, we’d appreciate you referring us to great people like yourselves who would benefit from the personal attention and excellent results we deliver. SERVICE THAT CONTINUES AFTER THE SALE We devote ourselves to serving the needs of our client’s before, during and after each real estate transaction. Instead of disappearing after the closing, you can expect us to keep in touch. We will send you valuable information and invite you to our events and parties. We will also call from time to time just to check in to see how you are doing and if we can do anything to help you with anything you need - not only real estate.
The Magnificent Manors Team of KW Metro Center wants you to know how much we appreciate you. We strive to build positive business relationships by working exclusively with people we admire and respect, and who value the service we provide.
WORKING BY REFERRAL IS ALL ABOUT TRUST We have found that when we’re seeking a service, we look for someone we can trust who comes highly recommended with a proven track record of success. We’re not alone. Ninety percent of consumers worldwide said they are most likely to trust the recommendations of the people they know, a figure that was well above any other form of advertising, according to recent market research conducted by The Neilson Company.

SELLING YOUR HOME PRICING: FAIR MARKET VALUE THIS IS ABOUT STRATEGY We base our recommended price on: • A detailed, custom market analysis of comparable houses • The unique characteristics of your home and its setting • Our expertise in the real estate market
ACTIVITY LEVEL
THE RIGHT PRICE IS IMPORTANT • A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market. • The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value. • Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong activity. • Many homes that start high end up selling below market value.

STAGING YOUR HOME
Our team used expert staging techniques to transform this house into a magnificent manor that buyers could not resist! We know what buyers want. We work with hundreds of them and carefully listen to their feedback on the homes we show them and then apply our findings to our listings. This home had been listed months before, without staging, and received offers significantly below list price. The Magnificent Manors Team staged and promoted this same house and received 4 offers and ratified a contract in 9 days for $26,550 over list price. © 2021 Fraser Consulting, Inc.

MARKETING YOUR HOME
Holding an effective Open House is serious business when finding buyers who love your home. When the Magnificent Manors Team hosts an Open House, we don’t just put a sign in the front yard and an announcement in MLS. We promote the Open House extensively, walking the neighborhood with door hanger invitations and calling agents and prospective buyers. During the Open House we point out features of the house and ask for feedback. After, we follow up with every buyer and agent who attended to “scoop up” offers. On the Monday after the Open House, we send you a written report with the number of buyers who came, their level of interest and their feedback.

Each office is independently owned and operated. If you are currently under a brokerage agreement with another firm do not consider this a solicitation.
NEGOTIATIONS Once offer(s) are received, our job is to negotiate the price and terms to ensure the contract brings you the greatest value. Price is only one aspect of that value. There are 13 other terms in the contract that affect the value of the buyer’s offer. We are skilled at negotiating these terms to protect your interests. Once the contract is ratified, there are multiple steps to get to closing where the value of the initial contract can be eroded. Using our sophisticated negotiation techniques, we work to ensure that does not happen so you get to a successful settlement.

TIPS FOR PREPARING YOUR HOUSE TO SELL
Our team is with you every step of the way as we prepare your house to list. We will bring in fresh linens, decorative pillows, new towels and other accessories to make your house shine - at not extra cost.
CLEAN. CLEAN. CLEAN.
ADD A FEW LITTLE TOUCHES.
A clean home is a loved home that makes a great impression with buyers. Wipe fingerprints and other smudges from glass, mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
Replace worn or outdated doorknobs, cabinet handles and light switches. We will bring fresh new towels for the bathrooms, but don’t use them (keep the towels you use out of sight in a cabinet or closet).
Clean your hardwood and tile floors and vacuum your carpets often. Keep your oven, stove and kitchen counters clean and free of extra items that can go in the cabinets. Make repairs ahead of time.
CLEAN UP YOUR YARD. Make sure you landscape is well maintained to increase curb appeal. A more conservative yard is often a better showcase for your home, so be generous with your trimming and pruning. Pare down bushes and trees that block windows. Pull weeds out of your flowerbeds, lawn and sidewalk cracks. Mulch and edge your garden beds.
Put flowers in places that are walked by often.
MAKE YOUR HOME ATTRACTIVE TO BUYERS. Once we’ve taken care of the prep work to get your house on the market, we’ll need to present your house to potential buyers. Even small cosmetic improvements will have a major impact on the sale of your home. The right touches can get a buyer excited about your home. Less desirable decisions may lose their interest completely.
OTHER LOW-COST WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR HOUSE.
Repair minor asphalt and walkway cracks if necessary. If your home has gutters on the roof, clean and clear them frequently
•
Install a new mailbox
•
Upgrade indoor and outdoor light fixtures
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
•
Replace old doormats
Natural light is the best light to cast your home in. Take down curtains and or install blinds. Opening the shades when showing your house will also make your home seem larger and brighter.
•
Plant flowers
•
New pillows for sofas
•
Display lightly scented potpourri or candles
•
Replace torn window screens
Replace fluorescent lights with high-wattage incandescent bulbs to give your home a warmer glow. Make sure all light bulbs are working inside and out and the darker rooms are well lit.
•
Polish or replace your old address plaque
•
Fix or replace leaky or outdated faucets
•
Re-caulk sinks and bathtubs
•
Place centerpieces on large counters and tables
•
Reduce clutter

Showing Instructions for Sellers Congratulations! Your home is listed! Agents will be calling me to schedule appointments to see your house. Below are some helpful tips and do’s and don’ts to make the process go smoothly.
Process All appointments will be scheduled on line through our Showing Time app. I will receive a text with a showing request from a Realtor. The request will be made according to the showing instructions in the MLS listing. Once I receive the notice, I will reach out to you via text to confirm the appointment. I know you will be timely in your response back so I can quickly confirm with the buyer’s agent.
Extra Security – Call Before Showing (CBS) Code For extra security, I have a call before showing code programmed into the Sentrilock box. This code means that an agent CANNOT get into your property without contacting me for access. This way you will always know who is coming to see your property and never have to be concerned about unconfirmed showings occurring.
Do
Keep the house tidy and clean at all times. Appointments will happen throughout the day and we always want to show your house at its best. Put some lights on timers, especially at the entrance and in rooms without overhead lighting on switches, so buyers can walk into a welcoming home. Keep all of your valuables and medicines secure at all times.
Don’t
While we hope it never happens, a buyer or agent may knock on your door without an appointment o If this happens, DO NOT allow him/her into your home. Give him/her my card or point them to the sign and ask him/her to call me. o I will work with the agent or the buyer to schedule a time for a showing that is convenient for you. o A buyer must always be accompanied by an agent when viewing your house. If the buyer does not have an agent, I will show them the house.
Follow-up I will be contacting each agent who has shown the property as well as those who come to open houses to follow-up on their feedback and level of interest. I will then share that information with you regularly.
