ABOUT ME WHO AM I?

I am a hard worker, organized, a proactive thinker, a strategic negotiator and meticulous about follow through. I am results driven, with a system for service, execution and client satisfaction.

IN THE MOST SIMPLISTIC OF FORMS, I AM LOYAL, KIND, RELATABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND AN ATTENTIVE LISTENER. I AM DEVOTED TO MY FAMILY AND INSPIRED EVERYDAY BY 13 YEAR OLD SON AND HUSBAND OF 18 YEARS. My creative spirit has forever been enamored with the beauty of architecture and design and my heart and mind motivated by the desire to cultivate relationships. All of that passion and energy combined led me to Windermere - It’s nice to be home. I possess a natural eye for envisioning possibility, a strong understanding of design and marketing while holding a firm finger on the pulse of the Seattle real estate market. This combined with being a fair and compelling negotiator, allows me to offer my clients the highest level of knowledge, service and attention.

WHAT WE CANNOT:

+ Price + Location + Terms of Sale + Competition + Condition of Property + Market Conditions


DETERMINING THE MAGIC NUMBER

DETERMINING THE RIGHT PRICE for your property is the most critical step in ensuring you yield the highest return on your investment in the least amount of time. MLS statistics show that the longer a home is on the market, the lower the sales price. That’s why my guidance and level of exptertise are so crucial.

TO FOLLOW IS MY PROVEN PROCESS FOR SUCCESSFULLY PRICING AND POSITIONING YOUR PROPERTY TO YIELD THE HIGHEST RETURN. + Analyze current market conditions and sales prices of comparable properties + Discuss your goals and needs

DANGERS OF PRICING ABOVE MARKET VALUE: + Your true target buyers may not see your property because it’s listed out of their price range + The buyers in the higher price point may compare your home to other homes at that price and consider it less valuable + It may sit on the market longer and sell for less than asking price, while you continue to pay ownership costs and are unable to move forward with your next chapter.

+ Provide you with a strategy to make your property more attractive to buyers + Develop, create and execute a comprehensive marketing plan targeting the most likely buyers + Market your property to other agents, and track their feedback and opinions on its price and presentation + Keep you up-to-date on sales activity and market conditions


TIMING THE MARKET COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED “IS THERE AN OPTIMAL TIME TO PUT YOUR HOME ON THE MARKET?” THE SHORT ANSWER IS “YES” The best time to market your home is exactly when you are ready. What is most important is to have a solid game plan and time for preparation. When you are ready, I will be there to assist you with information that will help you secure the greatest return on your investment.

Selling your property means seamless synergy between advertising, marketing and public relations. My goal is to reach precisely the right target audience through key, local and national contacts. One way to achieve this goal is to pique interest with the full-color marketing materials I will use to showcase your home. Whether I am presenting your information in a postcard mailing to the neighborhood or in an informative flyer, each piece will exude quality and professionalism. Another way is through displaying a Windermere Premiere yard sign, which for over four decades has become synonymous with quality listings.

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SHARE YOUR HOMES STORY.

BROKER PREVIEW

PUBLIC WELCOME

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers, 33 percent of the buyers heard about the home they bought from a real estate agent. It only makes sense to make sure real estate agents are aware of the features and benefits of your property.

WHERE SEEING REALLY IS BELIEVING AND PURCHASING + 44 percent of buyers report using open houses as an important information source when looking for a home + Open Houses also create “buzz” in the neighborhood

INVITING AGENTS TO TOUR YOUR HOME as soon as it comes on the market is a great way to:

+ Neighbor referrals and signs comprise 16 percent of the ways in which buyers have found the homes they bought

+ Market your home to agents with qualified buyers + Generate “buzz” in the industry + Get valuable feedback from local professionals This represents just one more way that we can leverage our professional relationships in the brokerage community to gain feedback on showing experience, pricing strategy and ultimately to help in getting your home under contract swiftly at an optimal price.

SCHEDULED OPEN HOUSE ARE JUST ANOTHER POINT OF LEVERAGE that we utilize to generate exposure, traffic and activity surrounding your home.

SHOWING YOUR HOME SAFELY CONTROLLED ACCESS = EASY ACCESS Easy access for buyers to see the interior of your home increases marketability and shortens market time. For added security, we use mobile-activated key boxes to provide access to your home, offering you peace of mind.

I WILL ALSO: + Control times that agents are allowed to preview/show + Control who is allowed into your home + Track agent showing activity + Request immediate feedback from agents who have keyed in.

2.

AGENCY/DUAL AGENCY. Seller authorizes Firm to appoint _____________________________________________ as Seller’s Listing Broker. This Agreement creates an agency relationship with Listing Broker and any of Firm’s brokers who supervise Listing Broker’s performance as Seller’s agent (“Supervising Broker”). No other brokers affiliated with Firm are agents of Seller, except to the extent that Firm, in its discretion, appoints other brokers to act on Seller's behalf as and when needed. If the Property is sold to a buyer represented by one of Firm’s brokers other than Listing Broker (“Buyer’s Broker”), Seller consents to any Supervising Broker, who also supervises Buyer’s Broker, acting as a dual agent. If the Property is sold to a buyer who Listing Broker also represents, Seller consents to Listing Broker and Supervising Broker acting as dual agents. If any of Firm’s brokers act as a dual agent, Firm shall be entitled to the entire commission payable under this Agreement plus any additional compensation Firm may have negotiated with the buyer.

Firm will not represent or assist Seller in a transaction that is a “Distressed Home Conveyance” as defined by Chapter 61.34 RCW unless otherwise agreed in writing.

TITLE THINK WINDOWS WINDOWS CAN BE CLEAN, DIRTY OR A MENACING CLOUDY. SO CAN TITLE REPORTS. In order to properly prepare your home to go on the market, we will order a title report from a reputable title company. A buyer has the future in mind when they buy a house, but with homeownership comes the need to protect the property against the past, as well. A title report will provide peace of mind for all parties involved.

TITLE REVIEWS DISCLOSE: + Unforeseen liens or judgments + Boundary disputes + Unresolved title issues + Covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&R’s) and easements


INSPECTION TURN KEY SELLER PROCURED Inspections take the mystery out of selling your home and may make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there. By making repairs and disclosing the home’s condition to a prospective buyer before negotiations begin, you can create an atmosphere of good faith and instill confidence about your home’s condition. This, in turn, may help sell your home faster and at a higher price. A home inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight into the condition of the home, thereby helping to reduce the overall listing time of your property.

HOME INSPECTIONS ARE A CRITICAL PART OF THE HOME BUYING AND SELLING PROCESS. I CAN HELP FACILITATE: + Finding a reputable inspection and home repair contractor + To manage unknown problems that are discovered + Assess inspection options + Negotiate reasonable and appropriate solution if necessary + SCHEDULING A SEWER SCOPE

YOUR AGENT DIRECTLY REFLECTS YOU AS A SELLER TAKE THIS CHOICE SERIOUSLY. I am driven, have a great attention to detail and am enjoyable to work with. I have an excellent record of exceeding client expectations which has resulted in a healthy referral base. I mentioned earlier my focus on quality over quantity. Part of that mantra is that I choose not work with multiple buyers or sellers with competing profiles at the same time. This is an integral piece of my specific level of service and commitment to my clients. In turn I require a reciprocal commitment to exclusivity. I also mentioned my love for design. This innate sense of spatial relation, love for architecture and passion for DOMICILE MATCHMAKING allows me to help (not only my clients if they are on the purchasing side) but allows me to help potential buyers envision how your home might work for them or be re-imagined to better suit their unique set of needs. I DON’T SETTLE FOR THE OBVIOUS PATH, BUT AM ALWAYS EXPLORING THOSE LESS TRAVELED IF IT MIGHT SERVE MY CLIENTS NEEDS AND BRING THEM JUST THAT MUCH CLOSER TO THE SALE OF THEIR HOME.

The relationships I develop with my clientele mimic a small business…being together every step of the way and ultimately in it to win it. It’s this level of engagement that makes the “perfect fit” so important. FOR ME IT’S ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP AND JOURNEY VS. THE TRANSACTION. I AM SUCCESSFUL THROUGH MY POISED NEGOTIATION, ABILITY TO WORK SEAMLESSLY WITH FELLOW AGENTS AND ULTIMATELY THROUGH CLOSING THE TRANSACTION FOR MY CLIENTS. Another value to my client partnerships is simply, Windermere. There is a level of respect and accreditation that immediately sets a Windermere agent apart. Not only is Windermere the leader in market share in the Pacific Northwest, but they are proud to be #1 in supporting communities throughout the Western US. THE WRE FOUNDATION HAS RAISED OVER 35M TO SUPPORT LOW-INCOME AND HOMELESS FAMILIES THAT ARE IN NEED. WINDERMERE PRIDES ITSELF IN GIVING BACK AND BOASTS 100% AGENT PARTICIPATION IN SUPPORTING THIS MISSION. Windermere has 7,000 agents in 300 offices in 11 states throughout the Western United States. It is the largest real estate company in the Pacific Northwest and largest regional real estate company in the Western United States.



W H AT C A N W E D O ? TO SAY THANK YOU

CLIENTS OFTEN ASK, ‘WHAT CAN WE DO TO SAY THANK YOU?’ Well first off, I want to say THANK YOU for the opportunity. I love my job! OK, to answer the question, it’s easy - tell your friends, colleagues and family.

REVIEWS, REFERRALS AND TESTIMONIALS OF YOUR SATISFACTION ARE THE VERY BEST WAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT I AM DELIVERING IN FULL. Results and unsurpassed service are my main objectives when entering any partnership so if I have achieved that level of service then all you have to do is spread the word!
