keeps people completely informed about your

WEEKS ON MARKET
- Timing is extremely important in the real estate
market. - A property attracts the most activity from the
real estate community and potential buyers when
it is first listed. - It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it
is new on the market. - If the home is over-priced it may become stale on
the market.

As this triangle graph illustrates, more buyers
purchase their properties at market value than
above market value. If you price your property at
market value, you are exposing it to a much
greater percentage of prospective buyers and you
are increasing your opportunity for a sale.
If you price your home above market value, youll
likely lose money!
22Pricing Misconceptions
.
It is very important to price your property at a
competitive market value when first signing of
the listing agreement. Historically, your first
offer is usually your best offer.

COST TO REBUILD TODAY
Buyers Sellers Determine Value The value of
your property is determined by what a BUYER is
willing to pay and a SELLER is willing to accept
in todays market. Buyers make their pricing
decision based on comparing your property to
other property SOLD in your area.
23Comparatitive Market Analysis(CMA)
- Recent Sales
- Current Listings Competition
- Expired Listings What has not sold
24Focusing On Results
The proper balance of these factors will expedite
your sale.

25Preparing For The Offer
In a Buyers Market, offers to purchase
routinely come in low, whereas in a Sellers
Market, offers are closer to the asking price.
Do not be offended by any offer received. Be
offended by buyers who tour your property and
dont submit an offer.
- ACCEPTANCE. Signed by all parties, dated,
delivered congratulations, youre on your way to
having your property sold! - REJECTION. Unconditional unfortunately, your
home is still on the market. - COUNTER OFFER. Any change to the contract
constitutes a counter offer. You are now in the
renegotiation stage. - NO ACTION. Equals rejection. Your home is still
on the market.

29Inspections
Inspections and potential repairs are the number
one reason sales dont close. Typically, buyers
have a certain number of days in which to inspect
the property and accept or reject the property
based upon these mechanical and structural
inspections. Inspectors are supposed to find all
the problems!

30Home Warranty Plans
Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate
some risks and concerns. For a modest price, the
seller can provide to the buyer a one year
warranty covering specified heating, plumbing,
electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.
Coverage under most plans commences at closing.
In all cases, there are important limitations and
exclusions (example appliances/systems must be
operative at commencement of coverage).
