Tours : All homes
listed by Exit Pleasant Realty are set up on a home tour
(unless owner-occupied). We believe that every home
deserves the same exposure, big or small. We also put
photos and information about your property right here on
this website! The internet is becoming the most
popular way for home buyers to search for homes and what
better way to market your home twenty four hours a day!
Are you taking advantage of the Home Tour conducted at
least monthly?
Property Flyers: We have the capability to prepare a professional
marketing sales tool including graphics and highlights
of your home to distribute to the brokerage community
and potential buyers.
Multiple Listing Service (MLS): Information about
your home will be included in the Multiple Listing
Service, a database of currently available properties
accessible by real estate professionals.
Other
Brokers/Agents : We cooperate extensively with
and invite other brokers and agents in the community to
tour your home in order to find a buyer.
Working with other agents looking for a specific
property significantly increases the opportunity to sell
your property. Do you network at "free" functions
and classes? Do you get to know people who might
call you if they are looking for a certain home - -
maybe you have the home they are looking for!
Relocation
Connections : Prospects for your home also come
from relocation services, corporations, executive search
firms, and fellow associates who keep track of potential
buyers and maintain relationships with former clients.
The Internet
: With approximately 80% of today's
consumers utilizing the Internet for real estate
information, we employ a robust set of tools and
resources to make your home available for preview.

You should provide the client with

Step One -
Preparing the Home for Sale :
- Property Inspection - Before we
list the home, we will inspect and identify
improvements that could increase profit on the sale.
The home should look as neat as possible before
photos for marketing are taken.
- Staging - If requested, a
professional decorator will stage the home so it
can be presented in its best possible light, a fee
will apply.
- Establishing Goals - Markets can
fluctuate so it's important to establish your goals
so that we can work hard to meet them.
How do you want the ad to look?
- Listing Price - Establishing a
competitive listing price is critical to the success
of the sale. We as Realtors use the most advanced CMA tools to
derive the right price.
- Relocation - Prospects for your
seller's home also come from relocation services,
corporations, executive search firms and fellow
associates who keep track of potential buyers and
maintain relationships with former clients.
Step Two - Promoting the Property:
- Digital photography/virtual
tours- Once the home is ready to list, we will have
quality digital photos taken and virtual tour
implemented.
- Full-color property brochures -
We should prepare a professional marketing sales tool
including graphics and highlights of your seller's home to
distribute to the brokerage community and potential
buyers.
- Full-color postcards &/or flyers
of the home can be designed and distributed at
showings, open houses, public venues, and through
direct mail.
- Insure you provide your client with periodic
status reports including buyer reactions to your
home, allowing us to continually evaluate and
reassess our marketing strategy.
Step Three
- Showing Your Home:
- Broker Home Tour, we invite all
our agents to view your home, so that they are
familiar with its features.
- Public Open House - Following the
Broker Home Tour we will mutually agree whether to
hold a public open house and present your seller's home to
the general public.
- Marketing Kits - All materials
regarding the promotion of your seller's home i.e., flyers,
brochures, postcards and MLS listing sheets will be
available.
Step Four -
Expectations:
- All calls and email inquiries
regarding your seller's home are to be followed up
immediately!
- Access to the property will be
secured by us though secure lockboxes and no one
will gain admittance to your seller's property without
your
permission.
- It takes time! - Remember to be
patient - selling a home can take time sometimes -
if you know this ahead of time, you are one step
ahead of the rest!
