Over 100 Years of Real Estate Innovation
The Coldwell Banker real estate company was founded on August 27, 1906 on the heels of the devastating 1906 fire and earthquake that leveled San Francisco. A young real estate agent, Colbert Coldwell saw the need for honest, knowledgeable real estate services to help the city rebuild. As the company grew, he hired Arthur Banker as a member of his staff. The two businessmen eventually formed a partnership, and in 1914 officially
named the company Coldwell Banker®.
For 128 years servicing Southeast Virginia
The Brooks Family started a local real estate company to service the local
market here in Southeast Virginias. Our local presence, history, and
understanding the market place is surpassed by none. The combination of

franchise in the world makes Coldwell Banker Traditions the obvious choice

An Important Message About The Value of Your House
Market Value
Your house has many values to the tax assessor, your lender and insurance company, and to you. It also has what's called "market value" to prospective buyers.
The best price obtainable can only be determined by testing the market and challenging the competition. In the end, the market dictates the value based on current conditions, number of Home Buyers, etc.
Competitive Market Analysis
The price at which you choose to market your property will be an estimate of the "test results" once your house is placed on the market. To help determine a price for your home, a Competitive Market Analysis is included in your customized Marketing Action Plan. Buyers do "comparison shopping" and the Competitive Market Analysis focuses on properties on the market competing for buyer attention. Houses that have been recently sold, and houses that did not sell, are also examined to see what recent buyers were and were not willing to pay.
The price of your house must attract
enough attention among buyers and brokers to generate showings and
offers.

What Affects The Market Value Of Your Property?
In understanding the market value of your property, we must deal with some factors that are "given" — we have no control over them:
Physical qualities of your property
0 Location
0 Age
0 Size of house and lot
0 Floor plan and architectural style
0 Condition of home
0 Correct staging of home
Market Conditions
0 Interest rates and availability of financing
0 Buyer demand
0 Prices of recently sold properties
0 State of the economy
0 Seasonal demand
The Competition
0 The number of similar properties for sale
0 Their prices, financing terms, location and physical condition
Some factors have no effect on the current value of your property:
Original price
0 What you originally paid for your house
Needed proceeds
0 The cash proceeds you want or need from the sale
Opinions
0 What people say your property is worth

What Is The Best Price Obtainable For Your Property?
Buyers dictate the best price obtainable.
Buyers compare properties
Home Buyers engage in comparison shopping. They will not pay more for a property than they could pay for another, similar one.
Realistic prices attract buyers'
attention
The price at which your house is marketed must attract enough attention among buyers to generate showings and offers.
A Competitive Market Analysis will
give you a solid foundation for the realistic pricing of your property
by showing what buyers are willing to pay.
Recently Sold
Reveals what buyers have actually paid for similar properties.
Currently for sale
Shows the properties that are competing for buyers' attention right now.
Did not sell
Demonstrates what buyers have not been willing to pay under current market conditions.

Pricing Your Property
The higher a property is priced above realistic market value, the more time it will take to sell and the less interest it will attract.
+ If your property is priced right, more buyers will be interested when it first hits the market.
+ Since buyers base their selection on
fair market value, not the asking price, more buyers will consider your property when it is priced competitively.
+ Lenders rely on independent fee appraisers to verify that a sale price is at fair market value. Therefore, if a property fails to appraise at fair market value, it will either force the buyer to make up the difference in cash or cause the sale to fall through.

Setting the Right Price
Priced right and ready to show opens your home to a great number of
potential buyers.
+ Hit the market as a hot property. Priced right, more buyers will be interested
+ Mortgages are based on fair market value, priced competitively equals more potential buyers

Pricing Your Property to Sell
Pricing your property correctly is crucial. You want to sell your property in a timely manner at the highest price possible. Current market conditions determine the value.
Pricing too high or too low can cost you time and money. Realistic pricing will achieve a maximum sale price in a reasonable amount of time.
Analysis of the comparable properties suggests a list price range of:
$_____ to $_____

Pricing Strategy
General Rules. Let's review some important considerations. There are certain factors that are beyond our control and certain factors that are within our control. Those factors outside of our control are: the location of the property, the finished square feet and types of rooms and the amenities that are in place. Those factors we can control are: the appearance of the property inside and out, how aggressively we market the property and the price, including terms. It is critical for us to accept those factors that are beyond our control and to focus on pricing and preparation.
Local Market Observations. Our market is currently steady. Properties are not moving very fast but they are not languishing for months either. Given the current interest rate situation we should continue to experience relatively low mortgage rates and thus the market should remain steady for awhile.
Suggested Price Strategy. My analysis of the comparable properties suggests a list price range of $------- to $-------. This range should achieve your primary goal which is a reasonably quick sale.
