GETTING
STARTED QUICKLY AND AGGRESSIVELY
Often times, the most interested buyers are those generated in the first few days or
weeks. As soon as you authorize us to market your property, we get started. Our marketing
approach is to work aggressively to maximize exposure of your property to:
- The local marketplace
- Our professional sales force
- Other CENTURY 21® offices
- Other real estate companies
- Regional and national marketplaces (as
appropriate)
- Corporate transferees
Our Pledge Is To...
- Arrange for installation of our nationally
recognized CENTURY 21® yard sign (as agreed upon and subject to local
ordinances).
- Submit your property to the Highland Lakes
multiple listing service.
- Arrange for a preview by other real estate
professionals.
- Distribute property description letters or
brochures to help market your property in local neighborhoods (as agreed upon).
- Describe how the CENTURY 21
Global Referral NetworkSM system can expose your property to more buyers.
ADVERTISING
AND PROMOTION
Marketing your property successfully usually involves more than a yard sign or classified
ads. A more strategic approach includes an analysis of the most probable buyers and
targeting our marketing efforts in that direction. Because our CENTURY 21® office pursues an aggressive overall advertising program,
coupled with professional sales associates, we can attract prospective buyers who, in most
cases, desire to look at several properties (including yours), not just the home being
advertised.
Our Pledge Is To...
Prepare a comprehensive "listing
profile" including the features and benefits of your home.
- Provide photographs for
display in the multiple listing service on the CENTURY
21® website.
- Describe our advertising program and how
your property can best be included, as may be agreed upon.
- Discuss open houses, and how they fit into
your marketing plan.
WORKING
WITH QUALIFIED BUYERS
Part of our professional marketing service is to whenever possible interview prospective
buyers before showing them your property. This helps eliminate "lookers" or
callers who cannot afford the property or otherwise qualify for financing. While these
interviews are designed to screen unqualified prospects, they're also intended to explore
various financing programs to help interested buyers find an affordable home. The
interview also helps us determine other needs and desires, allowing us to show a number of
homes that meet their needs.
Our Pledge Is To...
- Whenever possible, interview and pre-qualify
prospective buyers before showing them your home, or reviewing any purchase offer.
- Determine buyers' wants and needs so that we
can show homes which better match their requirements.
- Professionally show your home to the most
likely buyers.
- Work on your behalf in presenting and
negotiating offers.
SETTING THE
RIGHT PRICE
Establishing a listing price requires extensive research plus practical experience. Our
Competitive Market Analysis will outline the facts about the current real estate
marketplace and will compare your property with similar real estate sold recently or
presently on the market. These facts are a matter of public record and will include
specifics about the condition of these properties, comparable features and improvements,
and financing terms--all of which can help you determine an optimal asking price.
Our Pledge Is To...
- Review with you a carefully researched
Competitive Market Analysis.
- Estimate net sale proceeds based on the most
probable selling price.
- Suggest other financing terms where
appropriate.
- Keep you informed of market activity and
changes that occur during the course of your listing.
KEEPING YOU
INFORMED
Communication is essential in working together to sell your property. It's important for
arranging appointments, telling us if you're going to be away, or keeping you informed of
our progress in marketing your home.
Our Pledge Is To...
- Provide periodic updates as agreed upon.
- Discuss with you comments received about
your property.
- Present all written offers as soon as
possible.
- Keep you informed of progress after a
purchase agreement is accepted, all the way through closing.
- Report any changes or conditions affecting
the sale, without delay.
MAKING
RECOMMENDATIONS
Our sales associates are trained in presenting property in its most favorable light. Your
property will be thoroughly reviewed; we will then make recommendations on enhancing its
salability--minor repairs, redecorating or similar suggestions. We also provide a list of
professional selling techniques to make your property even more appealing to prospective
buyers.
Our Pledge Is To...
- Arrange for an inspection of the property
and point out possible areas of concern.
- Review applicable laws and/or regulations
regarding the disclosure of any conditions affecting the property.
- Discuss certifications and warranties which
may be required by the buyer, lender or government authority.
- Review professional selling techniques on
making the property more saleable.
- Keep you informed of feedback on your
property, particularly comments or concerns relating to its condition.
ATTENTION
TO DETAIL
In today's complicated, legalistic business world, it's important to follow routines and
regulations in completing a sale. This means meeting deadlines and expiration dates,
ordering certifications, pay-off statements, title searches, surveys or other
requirements. We have experience in handling all of this, before and after the sale.
Our Pledge Is To...
- Review with you all documents relating to
the property sale (as permitted by law).
- Provide you a "good faith"
estimate of your net sale proceeds before you accept any purchase offer.
- Help you obtain required certifications,
warranties, title reports, surveys, insurance policies (as required and authorized by
you).
- Monitor each of the numerous steps necessary
to finalize the sale of the property.
