5 Keys to Selling Your Home

Location:We usually cannot move a Home! To coin the favorite phrase of appraisers: Location, Location, Location. The pricing of your property must re�ect its location.

Condition:The upkeep and presentation of your property is crucial to obtain the highest value for your home in any given market, at any given time. When pricing your property, it must re�ect its condition.

Price:Price is the number one factor in the sale of a home. A property is really only worth what one person is willing to pay another to gain ownership of it. Price must be in direct relationship to the other 4 ingredients and it is the most important of all.

Terms:The more terms available on your property, the more potential purchasers you reach. The pricing of your property must re�ect the kinds of terms available to purchase it.

The Market:I.E. interest rates, competition, and the economy all make up and in�uence the state of the Market when you sell your home. The pricing of your property must re�ect the current status of the Market!

When all of the above ingredients are in agreement... We have a Sale! If just one of them is out of line it will take a longer time to sell.

To provide unsurpassed service in order to sell your home at a fair market price, in the shortest time, with the least inconvenience to you... our client...we will...

Initiate and maintain constant and continuous communication with you.Carefully analyze your needs, being sensitive to your special requirements.Provide local, national, or international relocation assistance.Carefully review the listing (agency) Agreement.Explain the local real estate practices and procedures.

1. Make a Good First ImpressionThe front of your house greets a buyer. Make sure it is clean and well maintained. Keep the lawn mowed and trees and bushes trimmed.

2. Decorate To Sell QuicklyHelp a buyer see how the home could look instead of having to imagine what it will look like. Replace worn carpet and faded wallpaper. A fresh coat of paint makes a huge difference.

3. Cheery Sells!Make sure that all curtains and blinds are open to show a buyer how cheery that home can be.

4. Repairs Make the DifferenceFix items such as sticky doors and windows, loose knobs, chipped tiles, etc. The fewer repairs a home buyer will have to do the better.

5. Lots of SpaceShow the full value of your storage space such as the garage or attic by removing all unnecessary items. People never have enough storage space.

6. Keep Your House SafeAvoid injuries by removing any items from the stairway and �oor area that could pose a problem.

7. Tidy Up Bedrooms and ClosetsBedrooms and closets with a minimum of things in them are neat and show lots of space.

8. Bathrooms Help Sell the HomeDo any minor repairs and make the bathroom sparkle.

9. Be AvailableAvoid having too many people present at the showing, but be available to answer questions.

10. Less is MoreWhile music can add ambiance, generally it is better to let the agent and buyer talk without disturbances.

11. Pets Around?Keep any pets out of the way, preferably out of the house. While you may love your pet, not everybody may feel the same.

12. Use Your AgentOnly set an appointment to show your home through your agent. They will appreciate the effort and things will close more quickly.

This is the most effective tool we have to let Realtors throughout the Bay Area learn about your home. We are also members of the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Stanislaus Multiple Listing Services.

2. We present your home to all local Realtors on our weekly Tour of new listings. Often, local realtors are working with a buyer who has been unsuccessfully searching for a home like yours and may be your future buyer.

3. We photograph, create and display color brochures of the exterior and interior of your home in our Brentwood and Discovery Bay of�ces for the public and all Marples & Associates agents and their buyers. These are the most professional brochures created in your marketplace. We place these brochures in your home for other agents and their buyers to take home after previewing your home.

We also have a Virtual Tour section of our web site and many of the real estate web sites, which allows viewers to preview sweeping views of the interior and exterior of your home. We also burn copies of your virtual tour to CD for prospective buyers to take home.

5. All listings are immediately placed on the internet at Realtor.com, Homes.com and sevral other top internet sites. These represent the largest internet real estate web sites in the world. These sites receive over �ve million inquires per month by potential buyers across the country.

Our postcard mailing program is the most comprehensive system available. We target several areas for mailing these postcards. We send card throughout your neighborhood. Often, the relatives or friends of neighbors are a great source for potential buyers of your home. We also mail to local areas where we know homeowners have been selling their homes and buying homes similar to yours

7. We create and reproduce over 3,500 brochures every other month, which are distributed to 3,500 agents throughout the Bay Area. We focus on agents who work out of this area but often have buyers moving to your city.
