The Distinction Nothing compares.
Darlinda & ChLoe
A BO U T DA RLIN DA Raised in Mississippi, Darlinda first fell in love with Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley when she attended Perry Mansfield Dance Camp in 1967. She moved permanently to Steamboat with her daughter, ChLoe, in 1973. Darlinda began her real estate career in the middle 70’s and in 1980 founded Maxwell Management, Ltd., which was later merged into Steamboat Premier Properties. She is a past director of The Chamber Resort and the Board of Realtors. Presently she is serving as Past Chair on the Strings Music Festival Board. Darlinda has been involved with many aspects of real estate, including development, sales and management.
A BO U T CH LO E Raised in Steamboat, ChLoe finds that the Yampa Valley is the most perfect place to call home. ChLoe left the valley to attend college, then went on to the Denver area and a career with a top rated community builder, giving her a solid background in construction and real estate sales. She moved back to Steamboat with her husband, Elliot, in order to raise her family here. Her goal is to see Steamboat through its current growth while maintaining the natural beauty of the valley and keeping Steamboat’s Western spirit alive. ChLoe feels very fortunate to be working side-by-side with her family and she is sure that her young son, Cash, will fall in love with skiing and the mountains as much as she did as a young girl.

About Us WE GE T IT
W E G E T T H AT the decision to sell your property is a stressful and complicated one. This isn’t just a “real estate transaction” to you, and it isn’t to us either. Whether the property you are considering selling is your personal residence that you built from the ground up and where you raised your kids, or it is an investment property, the process to list and sell can be emotional and stressful. We get it, and we will be there with you every step of the way.
W E G E T T H AT when you hire us, you are choosing to work with us. We appreciate and value the trust that you put in us. For that reason, when you list with us, you will only work with us. You won’t be handed off to an assistant, a team member or anyone else. We handle all of our business ourselves, with a personal touch and with the kind of attention that you deserve. We get it.
W E G E T T H AT you expect results. You may or may not care about the details of listing and marketing your property. We can work collaboratively with you and keep you in the loop as we move through the process, or you can leave it all to us and rest easy knowing that we are working hard to find the buyer for your property as quickly as possible, to get it sold for as high a price as possible. We get it.
W E G E T T H AT you don’t want to be lost in the shuffle. One key differentiating point of our business is that we are selective in the listings that we take. We only take a limited number of listings, so that we can give each of our clients the personalized attention that we promise. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why over 90% of our business comes from referrals and past clients.
W E G E T IT When you make the decision to list your property, you expect professional advice and guidance, personal attention and excellent communication, and results. We get it, and we deliver all of this and more.

PROCESS
W E WALK YOU THROUGH EV ERY STEP OF THE SELLING PROCESS.
From consultation to closing and beyond, we are a team. Our communication, expertise and resources create a selling experience that is streamlined and as stress-free as possible.
PRO CESS
The Homeselling Process INITIAL CONSULTATION • Determine your needs and priorities • Review options and select appropriate working relationship • Discuss Marketing Plan • Establish Pricing Strategy DESIGN & IMPLEMENT MARKETING PLAN • Complete home enhancement recommendations • Carry out scheduled marketing activities • Show the property to brokers and prospective buyers • Communicate with you on a regular basis • Monitor results of marketing activities • Modify Marketing Plan and Pricing Strategy as necessary REVIEW OFFER AND REACH AGREEMENT WITH BUYER • Buyer’s real estate professional presents offer • Discuss and clarify proposed terms and conditions • Negotiation; possible counter offers • Reach final agreement COMPLETE SETTLEMENT PROCESS • Deposit of buyer’s earnest money • Sign documents • Title search; preliminary title report to buyer • Inspections • Removal of remaining contingencies • Buyer’s final walk-through of property • Loan funding/balance of funds from buyer • Recording of title • Relocation of seller; possession of property by buyer AFTER-SALE SERVICE • Help you find your next home, as needed • Assist you with relocation, as needed • Provide resources for other after-sale homeowner needs
PRO CESS
Pricing Strategy UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROPERTY’S VALUE The existing pool of prospective buyers determines a property’s value based on: • Location, design, amenities and condition • Availability of comparable (competing) properties • Economic conditions that affect real property transactions Factors that have little or no influence on the market value of a house include: • The price the seller originally paid for the property • The seller’s expected net proceeds • The amount spent on improvements The impact of accurate pricing: • Properties priced within market range generate more showings & offers, & sell in a shorter period of time • Properties priced too high have a difficult time selling
DANGER OF OVERPRICING
• Marketing timing is prolonged and initial marketing momentum is lost • The property attracts “lookers” and helps competing houses look better by comparison
ACTIVITY
• Few buyers are attracted and fewer offers received
• If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan • The property may eventually sell BELOW market value

My Job Upon Receiving An Offer NEGOTIATE THE AGREEMENT • Explain the offer to you and answer your questions • Help you determine the best course of action by pointing out potential advantages and disadvantages of the offer and clarifying the choices available to you • Negotiate through the buyer’s agent, and handle possible counter offers, to reach a final agreement that is favorable to you
COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION • Explain to you in detail all the steps that will occur for a successful closing, and answer any questions you might have • Work with the buyer’s broker, settlement officer, title officer and others to help coordinate their activities and keep the transaction moving forward • Monitor progress of inspections, the buyer’s loan and other contingencies as called for in the purchase contract. Resolve questions or problems that might arise, to ensure a timely closing • Arrange for a pre-closing walkthrough of the property • Assist you in handling details required for the completion of the transaction • Communicate with you on a regular basis so that you can stay informed and as worry-free as possible.
FOLLOW UP AFTER THE SALE CLOSES • Confirm that all your real estate-related needs have been met, and provide information on service providers you may require • Offer relocation assistance, if moving to a new area • Help you locate a new home, if remaining in this area
PRO CESS
What You Can Do As a Seller GENERAL • Maintain the property in ready-to-show condition • Ensure that the house is easily accessible to real estate professionals (lock box and key) • Try to be flexible in the scheduling of showings • When you are not at home, let me know how you can be reached in case an offer is received • If approached directly by a buyer who is not represented by a real estate professional, please contact me—do not allow them into the property unescorted • Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications • If possible, do not be present when the property is being shown • Securely pen up pets, or take them with you • Be cautious about saying anything to buyers or their sales professionals that could weaken your negotiating position, especially regarding price or your urgency to sell • Collect the business cards of real estate agents who preview your home, pass them on to me • Let me know of any change in the property’s condition that would need to be disclosed to buyers • Be available to review the price/condition of your property if it hasn’t sold in a reasonable period of time • Contact me at any time with questions or concerns PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SHOWINGS • Disassociate yourself from your home—Remember your house is a product to be sold • De-Personalize—Pack up personal photographs and family heirlooms. Buyers can’t see past personal artifacts, and you don’t want them to be distracted • De-Clutter!—Pack up knickknacks, clean off everything on kitchen counters, put items away in bathrooms, organize closets/cupboards, put away toys • Examine carefully how furniture is arranged and move pieces around until it makes sense • Rent a storage unit if necessary—Almost every home shows better with less furniture. Remove pieces of furniture that block or hamper paths and walkways and put them in storage • Make minor repairs—Replace burned-out light bulbs, patch holes in walls, fix leaky faucets, fix doors that don’t close properly, kitchen drawers that jam, replace cracked floor or tiles • Make the house sparkle—Clean dishes, make beds, empty wastebaskets, vacuum, clean floors, dust, clean out cobwebs, wash windows, re-caulk tubs, showers and sinks, replace worn carpet and drapes • Odors are a no-no—Clean and air out any musty smelling areas, get rid of pet or smoking odors • Consider painting walls neutral colors, especially if you have grown accustomed to purple/pink • Check Curb Appeal—Shovel walkways/plow driveway, mow lawn, trim hedges/shrubs, remove the clutter (toys, yard tools etc.), take care of oil spots in driveway, paint if necessary, park car in the garage/on road
