A Personal Note…
Helping people make good real estate choices is extremely rewarding. I’ve had
the opportunity to intersect with their lives at a very exciting and sometimes
stressful time. It is an honor to play a role in helping them through the process
successfully to their best advantage. I know how important it is to my clients to
know they have an advocate they can depend on before , during, and after the
sale.
The following Pre Marketing Package can never take the place of a personal
meeting, but it will give you a chance to know a little more about me, my
beliefs, and the step-by-step plan we use to successfully sell each home that we
market.
That way, when we do meet, I can place my full concentration on what’s most
important to you, to your needs. Together we will determine the highest
possible price the current market will bear, determine who the targeted buyers
for your home may be, and develop the marketing strategies to attract them.
These targeted buyers are almost always willing to pay the highest price for your
home. I’ll explain this concept and strategy when we meet.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet and assist you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Quin

The HomeSelling Process: Listing Plan of Action
It can feel like the details are endless when you're selling a property. It is
my job to streamline the process for you, ensuring every thing is
completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Here's an overview of the steps we'll be taking along the way.
.
Keeping you Informed and Creating Results.
.We block time on Thursdays and Fridays of each each week to update our clients
about the marketing on their home that week, the response rate, what’s planned for the
next week, feedback from agents who showed their home, and market conditions that
might affect their sale. This is also a great time for sellers to ask us questions. Whether
you prefer a phone call or an email, that's what you'll get.
.
.Prepare your home for a successful sale.
.We will assist you in preparing your home for staging. We will help you to create a
spacious feeling and make sure your home has the curb appeal it deserves. We know
you want to increase the value of your home, and we will work together to assess your
unique situation.
Home staging is the very best proven way to get top dollar for your home as you
prepare it for sale. This is because staging sets the scene throughout the house to
create immediate buyer interest in your property. This well then lead to your home
selling for the highest possible price in today’s market.
Staging is a few things. It is intelligent merchandising. It is uncovering everything
a house has to offer by depersonalizing it. This can mean anything from
landscaping sprucing to simply removing knickknacks from shelves and counters.
A home in superior condition will sell faster and for more money than
a home in average condition with a lower asking price!

The HomeSelling Process: Listing Plan of Action
Award Winning Photography
.We have a professional photographer shoot the photographs for all of our listings. This
allows us the opportunity to take great shots of the home for use in our professionally
prepared brochures and to prepare our Virtual Tours for all of our online marketing efforts.
.
Detailed Color Brochures Brochures in the home are professionally prepared with color photos of the property,
listing features and benefits, survey and floor plan. It generally takes about three days
after we receive the photos from the photographer to have the brochures done.
.
Enter You into the Multiple Listing Service
We enter all listings into the MLS on Thursday so you can be ready for showings on the
weekend. It takes 2-3 days from the Photography Session to upload the 20-25
photographs and write the copy. The multiple listing service only allows 1000 characters
so we want to focus on the bests features of the your home!
Open Houses – Open 24 Hours a Day/7Days a Week We feature your home on the Internet 24 hours a day/7 Days a week! Some homes
are better candidates for Open Houses than others…it really depends on the
location. Keep in mind that less than 1% of homes sell because of an Open House, so
we focus the bulk of our marketing efforts on proactive ways to get YOUR home sold!
Web Presence – Widespread Internet Exposure with Key Local Focus
All of our listings are advertised on the Internet, through hundreds of web sites and search
engines. Why is this important? 90% of buyers begin their search on the Internet, and
35% of the home buyers find the home they purchase on the Internet themselves.
Our extensive web presence ensures our clients receive more exposure for their home’s
listing than possible with any other real estate agent in the area.
Bottom Line – Our Listings have more traffic due to the Quality of the
Photographs and Virtual Tour!

Showings and Feedback We will counsel you on the most effective strategies for showings based on your needs
and schedule. Regarding obtaining feedback, we do ask specific questions in our
survey that is emailed to all showing agents about our price, condition of the home, and
most importantly, is the buyer going to make an offer? You’ll receive the feedback at
the same time we do. This is a partnership and we want to you informed!
.
Communication and Updates In addition to giving you feedback on showings, we send you other informative
marketing reports weekly. We also update you on your competition; new listings,
price reductions and homes that have gone under contract in your area.
.
Contract to Close
All buyer‘s will be prequalified so valuable time isn’t wasted, all offers reviewed and
evaluated with you. Once you are under contract, all of the details will be handled for you.

The Home Selling Process: Pricing
Let's begin with this direct statement:
.
I am not the one who decides how much your home is worth. The
market does. .
It tells us exactly where to price your property to sell and how to approach the marketing
of it. Here are the factors that will affect the value in today's market:
.
Price Pricing your home properly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take
to sell it.
.
Location And Condition
Location and condition are the most important factors in determining the value of your
property. The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. Since
prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, first impressions are critical.
I'll be able to help in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the
buyer's perception of value.
.
Competition Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the
price – to other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine
value based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area.
.
Timing Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can't
manipulate the market, we'll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take
advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It's the window of opportunity when
buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.

Critical Questions to ask when Interviewing an Agent
Choosing the right Realtor to represent your interests is the most important step to
ensuring your real estate transaction will be successful. Here are questions you should
ask all prospective Realtors. Make sure an agent can back up any and all
statements. Take a “show me” attitude, you have a great deal riding on their
ability to sell your home!
Are you a full-time or part-time Real Estate Agent? You should only be looking for a full-time committed Realtor who relies completely on
the income they earn by selling real estate to support their family. Some part timers are
just dabbling in the business to make a little extra money. You’ll want someone who
lives, eats and breathes real estate!
How may homes have you sold in the last 12 months? This is important to ask because it demonstrates an agent’s track record. Don’t allow an
agent to skip over this question, make sure the agent has documented proof of their
sales track record. Can you imagine hiring a surgeon who has performed less than 5
surgeries over the last year? Would this make you more or less comfortable with their
abilities?
Does the agent have a clear Plan of Action to sell your home? This is a big one. This is where you find out if an agent relies on passive marketing or
active marketing techniques. Passive marketing is where an agent puts a sign in the
yard, puts it in the MLS and waits for a buyer to call. Active Marketing is where an agent
aggressively spends time looking for and talking to people who want to buy and sell
homes.

Critical Questions to ask when Interviewing an Agent
How well does the agent know the Market Stats? Another big one. Your agent should know the answers to the following: How many
homes are currently on the market? Home many homes came on the market in the last
30 days? Home many homes have sold in the last 30 days? How many months of
inventory are available to buy? This data is important because it is required to accurately
price and strategically present your home to create a successful sale. Using an agent
who is not regularly evaluating this data would be like going to your doctor and having
him guess what is wrong with you without ever examining you!
Is the agent involved with continuous ongoing training along
with regular practicing and updating of their skills? The business of selling is very much like developing the skills of a professional
athlete. Professional football players practice and update their skills 80 hours per
week for a 60 minute game on Sunday. Is the agent you are interviewing actively
committed to ongoing training and updating their skills or are the “winging it”?
