Born and raised in the Midwest (Danville, Illinois) I learned hard work at a young age. Being theoldest of 6 children learning to be responsible was not an option. At the same time growing up in a smalltown my memories are grand. Great friends and great times. When I moved to Upstate NY I met myhusband of 20 years working for Delco. We both worked there until it was time for Tom to retire and herewe are, sunny Florida!

With the help of a team I have built a remarkable referral base and created innovative outreachprograms in the community that encourage a symbiotic relationship between the real estate communityand the neighborhoods they serve. These efforts have helped land the team in the top ten REALTORS inJacksonville year after year.

From the very first year I was blessed to be a top producer . What did I learn? That old fashionedhard work, networking with fellow professionals and most importantly - remembering that if mycustomers had a remarkable experience they would refer me to friends and family is what makes a realestate professional successful.

Welcome to the wonderful world of real estate!

This is a very exciting time and we want you to feel comfortable and knowledgeablethroughout the entire process.

I will listen to your needs, keep you informed, help you through the negotiation process, andensure you achieve the most marketable price for your home. I welcome you to communicateyour feelings to me. After closing I will still be there to assist you if needed.

Thank you for choosing Team Knapp to help you with one of yourmost valuable assets! We hope you will be so pleased with theexperience that you will want to refer us to your friends andfamily!

Five Cr i t ical Elements of a Sale

This is the number one factor in the sale of your home. Our sales andmarketing program provides exposure to a large segment of potentialbuyers. The actual market value is then determined by what a buyer iswilling to pay.

The second most important factor in the buyer’s mind is location. Theproximity to area amenities and schools is typically a concern. In addi-tion, street traffic, proximity to expressways and public transportationare considerations.

Buyers look at the structural and mechanical integrity as well as theupkeep and cosmetic appeal of a property. Neutral décor, includingfloor and wall covering, appliances and fixtures, offer the broadestappeal to potential buyers.

Interest rates, competition from other properties, the economy andconsumer confidence all influence the sale of your home. Each of thesefactors is beyond our control, so we must respond to these conditionswith the appropriate marketing and price considerations.

The terms of a sale can make or break the contract. House sale contin-gencies, closing dates, and exclusions of accessories or fixtures shouldalways be handled clearly up front in order to avoid any confusion thatcould affect the sale.

Get Ready to Show. . .

INSIDE

Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on the furniturerestricted to groups of 1, 3 or 5 items. In general, a sparsely decorated home helps the buyer mentally “move in”with their own things.

Rearrange or remove some of the furniture in your home, if necessary. Many times home owners have too muchfurniture in a room. When it comes to selling your home, thin out overcrowded rooms to make the rooms appearlarger.

Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn’t been used for three months...put it away!Clear refrigerator of messages, magnets, pictures, etc.

In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from the countertops, tub, shower stall and commode top. Keeponly the most necessary cosmetics, brushes, perfumes, etc., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels inone or two colors only.

Take down, reduce, or rearrange pictures and objects on walls. Patch and paint all walls, if necessary.

Review the house interior, room by room, and”

1. Paint any room needing paint.

2. Clean carpet and draperies that need it.

3. Clean windows.

If you need room to store extra possessions use the garage or rent a storage unit.

Leave on certain lights during the day (your agent will show you which ones). During showings turn on ALL lightsand lamps.

Before you show your home to any potential buyer be sure to gothrough your entire house with your agent to finish the staging process.Meanwhile, here are some quick tips to help you start. Follow thesegeneral tips and your home will look better than the completion. StagedHomes sell faster and /or for more money!

Page 41: Team Knapp - Real Dynamic Agents Prelist Book

Get Ready to Go. . .

OUTSIDE

Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded wood scraps, extra building materials,etc., to the garage or, if applicable, take them to the dump.

Check gutters and roof for dry rot and moss. Make sure they are swept and cleaned.

Look at all plants. Plants are like children...they grow so fast. Prune bushes and trees. Keep plants from blockingwindows: “You can’t sell a house if you can’t see it.”

Remove any dead plants, weed all planting areas and put down fresh mulching material.

Keep your lawn freshly cut, edged and fertilized during the growing season.

Clear patios or decks of all small items, such as little planters, flower pots, charcoal, barbeques, toys, etc.

Check the condition of the paint on your home, especially the trim and the front door. The first impression, or “curbappeal” is very important.

IN GENERAL

Try to look at your house “through the buyer’s eyes,” as though you’ve never seen it before. This exercise willhelp you see what needs to be done. Any time and money invested on these items will usually bring you the return ofmore money and a quicker sale.
