This was more helpful than you will ever know as we were able to quickly focus on the right properties. Once focused, we wasted little time in being able to extend our best offer.” -anonymous “I attribute the speed of our transaction to your ability to hone in on properties fitting our requirements. You not only listened to what we were saying, but you also interpreted what we meant; especially, when we suddenly changed direction from our original plan. You never lost the momentum as you quickly adjusted to our new plan.” -anonymous “Our initial meeting on September 8, resulted in a close on October 12 with a property I am thrilled to not only rent, but to own. I attribute your hard work and responsiveness to this short time frame.” -Tara and Carl “I am writing you to express my sincere gratitude for all the time and effort you’ve invested in getting my houses and other properties sold under the most difficult of circumstances. In my many years of buying, selling and developing real estate in Florida and Colorado I have had occasion to work with many real estate agents and brokers. You were by far the most knowledgeable, competent trustworthy and hard working of them all. You acted in all circumstances with my best interest in mind and I consider you more of a partner in the business than just my realtor. I appreciate you for your guidance, creativity and professionalism. It’s been great to work with someone who could remain so calm in the storm.” -A. Shayne Macherowski “With 90+ listings on the market over $2million dollars, it can be overwhelming for buyers like us. Chris’s experience in developing homes in this price range and his intimate knowledge of every one of the 90+ homes enabled us to zero in on the properties that really fit our taste and represented good values.” -Rob T “Chris and The Paoli Group did an exceptional job assisting us with our real estate purchase in Steamboat Springs. From a buyer’s perspective, we expected Chris to know the market and help us identify where we could both find value and meet our needs. He did not disappoint. From our first introduction to the offerings in Steamboat, Chris clearly highlighted what opportunities were available in the market and he helped us to keep track of our short and long term goals. Chris thrives on his clients’ satisfaction and this trait ultimately sets him apart. His patience, good humor, undivided attention, and tireless diligence chasing after details earned our confidence and trust. Chris’ passion for his work is palpable and his enthusiasm
for his community, infectious. In the end, he made every effort to ensure we came away from this experience excited about our new property, but what’s more--he made us feel at home.” -Ciela Kiela “Chris and Amy spent a great deal of time showing me properties that fit my criteria and educating me on the market so I felt very comfortable with my final purchase. Their management of the contracts, negotiations and final closing was extremely professional.” -Jeff L “Please, let me thank both of you for your tireless efforts getting my house sold in this difficult and trying market. I truly believe your management of the process and the decisions you made on pricing and timing increased my final sale of $100,000 plus dollars. I have been in the development business for over 15 years. Your negotiating skills and concern for my family’s best interest were second to none. It’s easy to get sales in a hot market. Today it is different, and having both of you on my side made a big difference. I appreciate the time and effort you spent learning the details and features of my home, which enabled you to promote it so exceptionally well. I never felt I was just another property in your portfolio of listings. As a real estate developer who has build and sold hundreds of properties, I sincerely feel the two of you stand out and gave our goals the individual attention it needed, to be successful. We look forward to working with you again. In the meantime, wishing you continued success.” -Paul Franklin, Managing Member “Amy is a very hard working agent who was attentive to every detail.

I would not even think of doing business with anyone else in Steamboat.” -Marlin Fiola “Chris Paoli and his team are the ones to go to when you want your property sold professionally and efficiently. That is what we enjoyed after a referral led us to them. We highly recommend them to those serious about buying or selling real estate.” -Bill Van Hoy “Chris helped us purchase a home in Steamboat Springs in 2016. We were very pleased with his knowledge of the market in and around Steamboat Springs. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home to buy or wanting to sell a home in this area.” -aclemens9 “Chris Paoli has an excellent knowledge of the area. He plays a big role in the Steamboat community and we see him all over town since we purchased our home, always with a big smile. He helped us negotiate our contract wisely and he has a great business sense.” -andriaelopez “We used Chris when we bought our first home in Steamboat. We tell the story about how we had told Chris we absolutely didn’t want to look at a particular type of home, but after a couple of months of looking when we weren’t seeing anything we really liked, Chris said, “I know you said you didn’t want to look at any duplexes, but I know of one I think you should see.” It was perfect! We loved it, we bought it and we used Chris again to secure a wonderful piece of land that we are building our “forever” home on. Chris is creative, responsive, smart and very enjoyable to work with. We can’t think of a better real estate professional.” -Gwen Swenson-Hale “We met Chris when we looked at a property he had listed. We worked with Chris to purchase that property and he also handled the listing of the home we were living in at the time. That house went under contract in 3 weeks in a market that similarly priced homes were taking up to a year to sell. Not only was every detail handled smoothly, Chris anticipated things that could come up and had a contingency plan, (We had planned on using his company’s moving truck which could not be used if it snowed a lot and he had an alternative lined up that we could use in case it did snow.) Chris is one of the best Realtors we have ever encountered and we have known a lot as both my husband and myself have real estate backgrounds (I was a Realtor in another state for over 15 years). Since our transaction, Chris has been extremely helpful in recommending vendors
and subcontractors and responsive to seeking answers to a few questions that have come up about the house. We have come to regard Chris as a friend and we would never consider using any other Realtor in this market and have recommended him highly to others.” -Audrey Anderson “Very smart hard working team approach ensured we received the best service. They created a video, sat open houses, did everything they could to make the sale.” -mark89440 “Chris helped us sell our house and continues to be valuable for information and advice. I only gave him 4 stars on the local knowledge because being a 3rd generation local it’s hard for me to admit that he probably has a better current grasp on the valley than I do.” -anonymous “Chris and Amy are amazing!! They wanted to understand our needs and deliver exactly what we wanted. They succeeded in every way. They found us the perfect second home in the perfect location. They also helped us market our condo and put in a huge effort to get it sold. We could not have found a more dedicated duo to buy and sell property. We strongly recommend them and if and when we buy or sell again they will be our team.Chris and Amy thank you so much for finding our perfect getaway.” -Garrett, Karen, Jordon, and Alex “Both Chris and Amy have represented me in numerous transactions in Steamboat Springs. I could not be more pleased. They have intimate knowledge of all aspects of real estate and are the consummate professionals.” -machadorowski “Chris has been a big reason why I have bought in Steamboat, his knowledge of the area as well as patience as I looked at properties was great! He also was able to negotiate a great price for me. I look forward to further dealings with Chris in the future!!” -Jeff LaRoche “As a real estate attorney and client of the Paoli Group, I could not give a higher recommendation of Chris and his team. They are far superior to all other groups I have dealt with in terms of cutting edge technology (signing all addenda, contracts, etc online, first-rate pictures and video). Additionally, they value and respect confidentiality and are very knowledgeable of the market they deal in as far as product and people. Most importantly, they facilitate the deal and are never an obstacle, providing insight and advice you may rely upon in making an important decision.” -DLZESQ

MARKETING PLAN FOR SELLING YOUR HOME
OUR GOALS:
To sell your home in your desired time frame at the highest price possible and to make the home selling process easy for you. SERVICES PROVIDED FOR OUR LISTINGS: 1. Market Research Colorado Group Realty continually compiles relevant data about the ever-changing Yampa Valley real estate market to help our clients make the most educated decisions. 2. Pricing Tools Setting the correct initial list price is one of the most important decisions that home sellers make. The use of visual pricing software helps our sellers determine a competitive price for their property. The analysis includes odds of selling and buying patterns for a specific neighborhood. 3. Pre-Inspection Your CGR agent can coordinate a home inspection prior to listing. This makes your home more desirable to buyers, reduces the risk of any surprises during negotiations and may identify any home repairs that you may consider completing prior to listing. 4. Pre-Title Commitment Your CGR agent can order a pre-title commitment to ensure any possible title issues are resolved prior to the sale of your home. 5. Staging Our experts can help you prepare your home for sale by showcasing the best assets. Studies have shown that homes staged well can yield a 7-10% higher sales price. If the home is unfurnished, CGR has staging furniture you may use at no cost. 6. Photography Capturing beautiful high quality photos of your home is essential because over 90% of home buyers research potential purchases online. We only use the leading professional photographers to take interior and exterior shots of the property. The use of state of the art photo processing software ensures that images are crisp, vibrant and blemish-free. 7. 3D Virtual Tours Approximately 50% of home buyers in our market don’t live in the area year-round. By using the latest in modern technology, we can create online 3D virtual tours. This can garner more interest by enabling potential buyers to experience your property online at a level not possible with just traditional photography. 8. Videography When potential buyers are truly able to envision what life would be like in your home, they are much more likely to become actual buyers. Our agents use only professional, commercial quality videographers to best tell the story of your home. If possible, using drone certified pilots, they can also capture sweeping aerial footage of the property.
9. Online Exposure Through substantial online advertising spending in areas such as Google Adwords and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), we make certain that our listings are strategically placed and exposed to a wide audience. We also syndicate our listings to well-known media outlets and on all of the leading real estate search sites (such as Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com) ensuring maximum exposure for your property. Our team will also create a unique website specific for your home. 10. Leading Real Estate Companies of The World With 130,000 real estate agents at 565 leading independent firms, Leading RE is by far the world’s largest referral network, much larger than any franchise organization. In fact, in 2018 Leading RE agents closed $34B more in sales volume than the next closest real estate franchise. Promotion of your home through Leading RE ensures that agents and buyers from across the world can easily find your home for their buyers. 11. Automated Reverse Prospecting Using predictive analytics through our advanced customer relationship management platform, we identify, match and reach prospective qualified buyers with the highest statistical likelihood of having interest in your property. 12. Print Advertising While more and more buyers are conducting searches online, there is a still a place and need for traditional print advertising. Our in-house marketing team creates stunning print ads for publishing in leading real estate magazines, local newspapers and other outlets where buyers may be exposed to your home. 13. Yard Signs While a For Sale sign may attract a potential buyer, more importantly it can be seen as a representation of your home overall. Our team ensures that CGR signs are visible, accessible, clean, straight and fully-stocked with the most current flyers. 14. Showing Software and Lock Boxes We use the latest technology to make scheduling home showings easy for buyer’s agents and for you, complete with text notifications and comprehensive reporting. With our remote electronic lockboxes, security and convenience are greatly improved. 15. Local Real Estate Agent Tours Almost 90% of all home buyers use a local real estate agent therefore, promoting your listing to other agents is an extremely important marketing activity. Your CGR agent will feature your home on agent tours increasing visibility and gathering important feedback. 16. Public Open Houses Hosting open houses can increase interest from a potential buyer. Our agent’s host regular open houses in an effort to gain exposure and possible buyer leads for your home. 17. Reporting To You Selling your property can be stressful and often confusing. Our agents will keep you up-to-date with regular progress reports outlining online activity, agent and buyer feedback, advertising schedules and more so that you are always in the know with the process, enabling you to make informed decisions. 18. Transaction Management Our team of full-time Transaction Coordinators use the latest task management software to oversee the details of your transaction, ensuring your contract closes on time and that your agent remains focused on the strategic elements of your transaction.

TELL YOUR HOME’S STORY
WITH PHOTO AND VIDEO MARKETING
Buyers utilize the internet to view potential homes and also to eliminate those that don’t look appealing. That’s where great photos, video, 3D video and aerial shots can tell the story of life in their new home.
