TRADITIONAL PROCESS RELAXED MINDSET

FRAGMENTED SHOWINGS

The traditional home sale process fosters a relaxed mindset, where agents plan to sell homes over a lengthy listing period. This may have been okay 10 years ago, but not today when buyers can go online to see if a home has lingered on the market, and offer less because of it.

The traditional home sale process involves showing homes to buyers one at a time, and holding open houses where buyers come through occasionally. There is no strategy to get multiple buyers in a home at the same time. The failure to create a competitive environment results in buyers making lower offers.

STRUNG OUT MARKETING

OUTDATED PROCESS

The traditional home sale process strings out the marketing of newly listed homes over a multimonth listing period, attracting buyers sporadically. It is not designed to identify every buyer for a home immediately, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new to the market and most desirable in the eyes of potential buyers.

The traditional home sale process is based on time and hope rather than urgency and strategy. There is no social proof that your home is desirable. There is no competitive environment. There is no urgency for buyers to act. Days on the market accumulate while your sale price diminishes.

72 HOUR PROCESS URGENCY MINDSET

COMPRESSED SHOWINGS

We market homes with an urgency mindset, knowing the longer they sit unsold, the more buyers presume they are overpriced, even when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. Our program is designed to sell homes quickly with low time on the market to attract motivated buyers who make higher offers.

After our big marketing build-up, we launch a home on the market, compressing showings into one hour time periods on Saturday and Sunday. When buyers see each other coming and going, this reinforces the desirability of the home, motivating buyers to take immediate action and make higher offers.

FRONT-LOADED MARKETING

MODERN PROCESS

We start with a big marketing buildup, striving to identify every potential buyer for a home before we allow anyone in the door. This sets the stage for a grand launch weekend, where we flood a home with excited buyers who have waited in anticipation.

By first building buyer anticipation and excitement, followed by compressing showings into a weekend, we create social proof that your home is desirable, an urgency for buyers to take action, and a competitive environment to generate higher offers for you.

WASSAIL HOLIDAY RECIPE FROM THE KITCHEN OF KARLA HALEY

Ingredients: 

1 gallon apple cider



1 teaspoon nutmeg



2 cups orange juice



1 orange, sliced



1 cup lemon juice



½ cup Calvados brandy, optional



½ cup sugar



2 teaspoons cinnamon



1 teaspoon cloves

This time of year as the leaves begin to change color, the air is crisper, it reminds me of a favorite hot beverage Wassail. It has long been a part of our fall & holiday tradition that both kids & adults can enjoy. It’s the perfect beverage to warm you up!

Makes: 8 servings of 2/3 cup each Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions: 1) Mix juices, sugar and seasonings together. If making Adult version, add the brandy at this point to make the alcoholic wassail. 2) Slowly bring to a boil in a large saucepan or pot. Boil for 1 minute. 3) Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. 4) Serve hot with sliced oranges floating in the punch bowl.

Tips & Notes  The cider can be made a day ahead to steep. Just reheat when ready to serve.  Did you know? It takes 36 apples to create 1 gallon of apple cider, which makes you appreciate it that much more.

 Fresh non-alcoholic apple cider from a local apple orchard or cider mill is best, but you can substitute with store-bought ciders available year-round as well.

 Oranges studded with cloves are also known as pomanders, which are a winter

holiday favorite. They are not only used in a variety of holiday and winter cocktails, but they have a history of being used as winter home decor and natural seasonal air fresheners.

 This drink is perfect for a party and it can be served like punch and also sends

DIY Seasonal Wreath www.ConstructingCharacter.com With the holidays upon us, wreaths are an easy way to add seasonal decor to your home. I’m Lindsay Melander, interior style consultant and owner of the interior design consulting agency Constructing Character. Here’s my easy, step-by-step tutorial for making a versatile holiday wreath that will provide an inviting warmth to any space. Follow @ConstructingCharacter on Instagram to see videos of this

Materials

(available at any local craft store)   

Grapevine wreath Open-weave ribbon Real or artificial floral stems

Grapevine wreaths function as a great base for this DIY because they are easy to work with—you can stick branches and flowers in them without adhesive. They also have an organic look that pairs nicely with the current season. You’ll be layering different florals and colors on your wreath so choose an open-weave ribbon and an array of seasonal floral stems that compliment each other in size and texture. My go-to colors for fall are golden yellows and burnt reds and oranges. For added depth, try some greens or a pop of purple.

Display

Use a door hanger or Command Utility Hook to hang your wreath on any door, window, or wall. And voilà, it's just that easy! Happy holidays!

Lindsay

Assembly

[1] Wrap the ribbon around the lower half of the wreath. Tuck the ribbon corners into the wreath itself to secure them. [2] Add your longest floral stems to both ends of the ribbon. Point them up and away from the center of the wreath and make them relatively symmetrical. [3] Continue to layer the smaller, fuller stems until you reach the bottom, middle of your wreath. [4] Gather any remaining flowers together at the bottom of the wreath to create an anchor point.

Replacing an older front door is a proven good investment, but if you can’t replace the front door event a fresh coat of paint goes a long way. Trim trees and bushes. Put away the yard art. Power wash and sweep the steps. Put garbage cans in the garage and out of sight.

De-clutter De-clutter De-clutter It is very important to neutralize your home and put away all the distractions. Take your personal items down like family photos, excess “stuff” and pack away everything you absolutely do not need on a daily basis. This helps the buyer focus on the wonderful traits and features of your home. This is one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do to impact the value of your house.

Less Furniture is More Consider moving furniture so it makes the space feel open, spacious and conducive to conversation. Remove any oversized or overly worn pieces. De-cluttering and furniture placement work together. Don’t let your buyer be distracted by your furniture or the layout. Consider hiring a professional staging company to bring in the right scale, color and style furniture to compliment your home. It can provide huge returns on the investment.

Remove, Repair & Replace Light fixtures and faucets are fairly inexpensive items to replace that instantly can add value and appeal. Generally the cost to replace or repair these items will considerably increase the value of your home in the buyers’ eyes. A lot of buyers cannot afford to get new fixtures but they can afford them in their mortgage. Appliances Stainless steel is still a popular finish for kitchen appliances; however, it’s more about what looks appropriate for the space. Appliances should be the same color, make and size for the kitchen. Buying new appliances can give a sizeable return on the investment. Look for scratch and dent options where the flaw will be hidden by the cabinetry.

Deep Clean Washing the windows and removing screens is a great way to make the home look new. Clean the grease filters on your cooktop- old stale cooking odors are just a turn-off. Clean inside, outside and around the oven and refrigerator. Showers, baths and sinks will shine with just a little elbow grease. Make sure pet areas are extra clean and tidy, too.

Sense-Appeal at the Front Door When a buyer walks to and through the front door it is a make or break moment. Buyers instantly know if they love the home and everything thereafter is justification of why they like the home, or why they don’t. Is it in good condition and appealing? What do they hear, smell, see and feel? All of our senses play a role in how we feel” upon entering a home.

Paint the Right Color Trendy paint colors do not always compliment every home. Paint color depends on the trim and wood tones, carpet, tile and furniture. Get yourself a pallet of color samples and put each sample on the various walls. Is it a warmer tone that looks good or a cooler tone? The right color and tone will be obvious and make the decision super simple. We highly recommend flat paint. It is better at hiding imperfections. You will never go wrong with neutral, subtle color tones.

Depersonalize Bathrooms Begin by putting away all personal hygiene items including toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairbrushes, lotions and medications. All personal items should be neatly tucked out of sight. Spend $20 on a new set of towels and clean the sink and countertop area. Repair cracking grout and the caulk around the bathtub. These inexpensive repairs will go a long way in making your bathroom feel fresh and new. Please keep toilet covers down when you have showings.

Make the Master Comfortable The master bedroom is in the running with the kitchen and bathroom for being one of the main selling rooms of a home. Make it an inviting place where someone can unwind and rest. It is not that expensive to freshen up a tired comforter and add some decorative throw pillows. Keep the colors and patterns calm.
