Seller Service Pledge We will do the following to help you get your home sold at the highest price, in the least amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience to you:
Provide you with current data on listings and sales in the area to use in pricing your home competitively and with your goals in mind. Provide you with a written marketing plan that we will implement and monitor. Put you on an automated system that will notify you each time a new property in your area comes on the market. Help you determine what repairs or enhancements should be made to your property prior to putting it on the market to help you attain the highest price possible. Help you stage your home for showing it to prospective buyers. Analyze a variety of financing options to offer to a prospective buyer. Furnish you with a written and itemized estimate of the proceeds you can expect from the sale of your home. Update this estimate based on a given offer. Send you e‐mail feedback from each showing of the property and recommendations for any adjustments that might need to be made. Prescreen buyers before your home is shown to eliminate any inconvenience to you. Provide you with written progress reports of our progress, including a current market analysis of value based on sales in the area and buyer feedback. Make recommendations for any needed adjustments. Explain each step of the process, providing you with any contracts or forms well in advance for your review. The time to learn a form or contract is not the time you need to use one. Review all purchase offers with you and assist you in negotiations. Once we have an agreement, we will monitor the progress of the transaction as your advocate and keep you informed until the closing. Assist you in making a smooth transition to a new home or temporary housing. If you are relocating to another city, I can provide you with a highly qualified professional in that area to assist you.

Preparing the Home for the Market Together, we will analyze the condition of the property to determine which repairs should be made prior to marketing the home. We can suggest items to be completed which will enhance the value and marketability of the property. We can arrange for the work to be completed. The vendors will bill you directly for their work. We can also suggest things that can be done to “stage” the property so that it shows the very best to potential buyers. We also have a professional interior decorator that can assist with this task if necessary. Once the property is ready, we will have a professional photographer take photographs of the home and do a virtual tour for marketing through the Internet and preparing other marketing materials. In the following pages, please provide us with a list of features and improvements that you feel are significant.

Approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission for Voluntary Use Texas law requires all real estate licensees to give the following information about brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.
Information About Brokerage Services
B
efore working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER: The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of subagency from the listing broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER: The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY: A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License
Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction: (1) shall treat all parties honestly; (2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner; (3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and (4) may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property. With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instructions of the other party. If you choose to have a broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.
Real estate licensee asks that you acknowledge receipt of this information about brokerage services for the licensee’s records.

Designations that make a Difference Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Certified Residential Brokerage Manager (CRB) Most people agree that buying and selling a home is one of their most important financial transactions. In what can be a complicated and sometimes difficult process, why not leave as little to chance as possible? With the assistance of a certified residential real estate professional, you can avoid many of the pitfalls that await and achieve your goals more quickly and easily saving you time and money while avoiding costly mistakes. To meet the specific needs of families and individuals buying and selling homes, the Councils of Residential Sales and Brokerage Managers, two affiliates of the National Association of REALTORS, instituted two classifications of expert real estate professionals: the Certified Residential Specialist and the Certified Residential Brokerage Manager. Every CRS and CRB designee has committed time, and considerable expense to attend and graduate from two rigorous programs of detailed training aimed at making residential real estate transactions as smooth and worry‐free as possible. Topics include advanced training in finance, real estate law, appraisal, and using technology in high‐level marketing techniques. And because the designation requirements are challenging and require study, dedication and a proven log of experience, only 6% of all REALTORS in the United States have earned the CRS designation and fewer than 1% have the CRB designation. Each designated professional has: Completed advanced course work and passed examinations in all course curriculum. *Laura chaired the Faculty Committee for the Residential Brokerage Manager’s Council and served as their National President in 2003 Has a verified history of consistent and successful sales performance through documented sales. Earned the highest designation of sales and management specialization in the business. Networks with these elite groups through local, state and national affiliations.

Testimonials & References I have worked with Laura on several different properties over the course of the last 10 years. Her wealth of knowledge, professionalism, attitude, and energy put her in a class of her own. I recommend anyone moving to or within the city of Austin to work with Laura and Patrick on finding or selling their next home. ...Adam and Jeannette Chibib First, let me say that Laura is extremely professional, communicates in a straight‐forward fash‐ ion, and very results‐oriented. She proved highly capable at generating traffic, managing multi‐ ple offers, and positioning our house for a quick sale at a great price. All of those qualities should be expected from any real estate agent‐‐ but Laura really went the extra mile to explain her strategies, help us understand the pros and cons of every decision, and set expectations ap‐ propriately. Her expertise, personable nature, and throughtful approach were really appreci‐ ated. I highly recommend her services. ...Kris Looney Laura is the consummate real estate professional ‐ very attentive to her clients' needs and ex‐ tremely knowledgeable about her market. But her knowledge goes far beyond Austin, Texas. Laura stays connected with the regional, national and global real estate market conditions, and stays involved with the industry to benefit her clients. ...Brad Hanks Thanks Laura and Patrick for selling our home in record time. You made each step easy and we got top dollar. On a scale of one to ten, you rank 13! ...Todd and Susan Shade My house had been on the market for six months prior to my listing it with Laura, but thanks to her marketing techniques and advice and her accurate pricing, the house sold in less than two weeks. I also appreciated the professional way she handled the negotiation process. I highly recommend West Austin Properties. ...Alice Burns Rutledge
