What Is The Best Price Obtainable For Your Property? A Competitive Market Analysis will give you a solid foundation for the

realistic pricing of your property. 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.

Recently SoldReveals what buyers have actually paid for similar properties.

Currently For SaleShows the properties that are competing for buyers’ attention right now.

Did Not SellDemonstrates what buyers have not been willing to pay under current market conditions.

Competitive Market AnalysisTo help determine a price for your home, a Competitive Market Analysis is included in

your customized Marketing Action Plan.

Physical Qualities of Your PropertyLocation, age, size of house and lot, floor plan and architectural style

Market ConditionsInterest rates and availability of financing, buyer demand, prices of recently sold properties, state of the economy and seasonal demand

The CompetitionThe number of similar properties for sale, their prices, financing terms, location and physical condition

Some factors have no effect on the current value of your property: Original Price

What you originally paid for your house, needed proceeds and the cash proceeds you want or need from the sale

OpinionsWhat people say your property is worth

An Important Message About The Value Of Your House The price of your house must attract enough attention among buyers and

brokers to generate showings and offers.

Market ValueYour 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.

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 mortgages are based on fair market value, not the sale price, more

buyers will be able to consider your property when it is priced competitively.

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.

Personal Touch & Timely Response You will hear from me regularly on the progress of our marketing activities. Results

I will report the results of events such as open houses and property showings. Trends

I will discuss current trends in buyer activity, interest rates and competitive prices. Suggestions

I will share suggestions from other real estate professionals who have previewed or shown your property.

ProgressI will provide a weekly progress report on the promotion and sale of your property.

Qualifying BuyersMy goal is to bring you financially pre-qualified buyers through Coldwell Banker® Mortgage Services to help ensure a successful transaction.

PrequalificationA potential buyer for your house can be pre-qualified or pre-approved by Coldwell Banker Mortgage, or another reputable lender, for a loan amount necessary for the purchase of your property.

A Word Of Caution In order to maintain the strongest negotiating position, I recommend that you

do not discuss the following information with any buyers or other real estate agents.

Reason for selling Urgency to sell Willingness to consider an offer less than listing price Financing terms you would accept Personal property you might be willing to include Timing and benefits from your company Any other confidential information

Closing The Sale I will negotiate on your behalf to help you obtain the most favorable price and

terms and will work on your behalf to successfully close the sale.

Understanding Your Choices and Meeting Your NeedsMy aim is to reach a purchase agreement that is favorable and protective for you. I will present all offers in an objective fashion, review and explain their terms and conditions (including an estimate of your net proceeds), and help you evaluate how an offer fits your goals.
