A property is “worth” what a buyer is willing to pay for it, which determines what is known as it’s “Fair Market Value.” The value of your home is based on the following criteria: 1. Location of property 2. Condition of property 3. Buyer demand and seller motivation 4. Prices of similar properties on the market 5. Recent sales of competitive properties 6. Availability of financing This information is evaluated for the purpose of forming an opinion of the Fair Market Value of your home under the prevailing conditions at the time of this proposal. The following are the key factors which will affect the sale of your home: 1. Price 2. Terms 3. Condition 4. Marketing 5. Value THE RE/MAX COLLECTION The Window of Opportunity Sellers often make the mistake of wanting to price their homes high at the start, with the assumption that they can always reduce the price to a more realistic level later. However, interest peaks when your home is new on the market and drops off dramatically as time goes on. THE RE/MAX COLLECTION Pricing Don’t Risk Losing Buyers By Improper Pricing Another Peril of Overpricing: The Impact of Price on Available Buyers Just as the interest level declines for a home the longer it remains on the market, so does the price. A home not properly priced will yield lower proceeds when (and if) it finally sells. Buyers tend to gravitate towards certain price ranges, with the percentage of prospective buyers who will look at your property increasing dramatically the closer the price is to “fair market value”, thereby increasing the probability of sale. Additional Risks of Overpricing • Slower Sale • More Inconvenience • Lack of Interest from real estate community • Negative response from advertising and sign calls • Increased chance of “market worn” image • Fewer showings THE RE/MAX COLLECTION MARKETING YOUR HOME Marketing/Branding Essentials Yard Signs Property Brochures, Postcards Should your property require additional materials to enable buyers to better appreciate it’s features, we have the capacity to develop and produce sales brochures and other promotional materials.

These “staging tips” will help your home look it’s best, inside and out, from the start: a sale. First Impressions Are Lasting The front door greets the prospect. Make sure it is fresh and clean, or newly repainted. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged and the yard free of hoses, toys and refuse. Flowers enhance a home inside and out. Decorate For A Quick Sale Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal. Why try to tell prospects how your home could look when you can show them by redecorating? A quicker sale at a higher price will result. Let The Sun Shine In Open draperies and curtains and let the prospect see how cheerful your home is. Dark homes do not appeal and seem small. Fix That Faucet! Dripping water discolors sinks and suggests faulty plumbing. THE RE/MAX COLLECTION Presenting Your Home Repairs Make A Difference Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, and minor flaws detract from home value. Value From Top To Bottom Display the full value of your garage, store rooms and other utility space by removing all unnecessary articles. Brighten dark, dull rooms by painting walls. Safety First Avoid cluttered appearances and possible injuries. Keep stairways clear: Make Closets Look Bigger Neat, well-ordered closets show that the space is ample. Bathrooms Help Sell Homes Check and repair caulking in bathrooms and showers. Make this room sparkle! Arrange Rooms Neatly Remove excess furniture. Use attractive bedspreads and freshly laundered curtains.
