Factors

FACTORS Determining

WILL MY PROPERTY SELL OR NOT SELL?

FACTOR 1 pricing When presenting a home to buyers, it's important to price the home correctly. This will set realistic expectations and attract serious buyers, ultimately leading to a successful sale for the seller. I sell homes HIGHER than the market average because I list homes at the correct price from the start. FACTOR 2 how it works It is important to have your home ready for market on day one.

SOON MARKETING, ONLINE MARKETING, SOCIAL MEDIA

MARKETING and PRINT MARKETING are all part of the success of getting your home seen by the most potential buyers, selling your home faster and for more money than the competition.

OUR TEAM ADVANTAGE PROFESSIONAL STAGING PROVIDED 85% of staged homes sold for 6-25% more Most tasks are completed during the appointment

BOOSTED ONLINE EXPOSURE Today’s market is centered on technology. Buyers are performing their searches online, so it is important that your listing is ranked high and shown in its best light. Studies show that online buyers disregard homes with limited photos, low-quality photos, and minimal information. I will be sure to take the extra steps to get maximum exposure for your home and give the online shopper a wealth of information, as well as quality photos, and video tours. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

BEFORE Listing

STRATEGY Listing PRICING STRATEGY

Taking a close look at the market analysis in your area, we will price your home correctly the first time so that it will sell quickly.

If your home is priced at fair market value, it will attract the largest number of potential buyers in the first few weeks.

If a home is overpriced it will attract the fewest number of buyers looking to purchase a home. The majority of home buyers look at many homes and quickly get a feel for the price range that homes sell for in a given condition and location.

PROFESSIONAL STAGING

To make sure your home is shown in the best light to buyers, I will provide a professional staging consultation to ensure your home is ready to hit the market. A stager's job is to neutralize your home to appeal to the maximum number of potential buyers. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY In today’s market, home buyers are searching online first. It is imperative that the photos of your home are of the best quality to catch the buyers attention and stand out from the competition. Having more eyes on your home, is the fastest way to get it sold and sell for top dollar. AGENT MARKETING I am part of a very large agent network. I will reach out to this network to see if your home might be a great fit for one of their buyers. This agent network is key to connecting buyers with your home as 88% of residential sales involve real estate agents. ADVERTISING & MARKETING

Correctly marketing a property is imperative to a successful sale. I focus most of my attention on this. My expertise is increasing brand awareness and attracting hundreds of buyers per month.

FRESHEN THE PAINT & FIXTURES

A new coat of exterior paint helps a home's curb appeal. It isn’t a low-budget item, but if you can swing it...DO IT If you can’t paint the entire home, paint the trim. This is a relatively simple thing to do and it helps give a home that wow factor Update exterior light fixtures. This can quickly give a home an updated look Put a fresh coat of paint on the front door

YOUR HOME Staging

Staging THE ART OF Staging a home can have numerous benefits when selling. Staging can make rooms feel more spacious and functional. This helps buyers visualize themselves living in the home, increasing the likelihood of a sale. Staged homes tend to photograph better, which attract more online interest and showings. Ultimately, staging helps a home stand out among and potentially command a higher sale price.

Virtual TOURS

A VIRTUAL TOUR IS A SEQUENCE OF PANORAMIC IMAGES THAT ARE 'STITCHED' TOGETHER TO CREATE A 'VIRTUAL' EXPERIENCE OF A LOCATION. ONCE CREATED, THE VIEWER IS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE SOMEWHERE THEY ARE ACTUALLY NOT

THE BENEFITS

Virtual house tours allow potential buyers to check out every room and corner with a few mouse clicks. Compared to photos and videos, this technology offers a more accurate and immersive experience. Utilizing virtual tours, we can narrow in on the most serious buyers and give them a good look at your home without disturbing you. Leaving only the more serious buyers to schedule a showing.

Potential homebuyers don't like to wait. They want all the information now. A virtual tour allows every part of your home to be on display around the clock without disturbing you.

Your home will definitely stand out. A virtual tour exposes your home to a wider audience. Your home can be toured from anywhere at any time.

Property BROCHURES

Property brochures have numerous benefits when selling a home. They provide buyers with a tangible and detailed representation of the property, including high-quality photos, detailed descriptions, and relevant information. Brochures can also showcase any unique features or upgrades of the home that may be overlooked in online listings. They serve as a leave-behind for buyers to reference after touring the property and can be shared with others who may be interested.

ANNA ALJABIRY REAL ESTATE

COVERED We've got you A SECURE LOCKBOX WILL BE USED This allows real estate agents access to show buyers your home securely. The lockbox holds the keys to the home and is typically found at the front guarded by a security lock that only licensed agents have access to.

REMOVE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS & MEDICATION

Clean out your medicine cabinets and any other place you may store medications and hide them away. There have been more and more stories of people intentionally going to home showings to take medications freely. PUT AWAY BILLS & OTHER MAIL PIECES With identity theft on the rise it is important to put away all mail pieces with your information on them. If this information ends up in the wrong persons hands, it can easily lead to identity theft.

STOW AWAY VALUABLES Before showings make sure that all valuables are put away and out of sight. This includes even mail left out (which may contain personal information and bank statements). Items of value such as jewelry, artwork, cellphones, and gaming systems should also be out of site. It's a good idea to walk through your house before showings and make sure everything of value is out of sight. DON'T ALLOW ANYONE IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT Now that your home is online, many know that it is for sale. For your safety, NEVER let a stranger into your home. While it is likely that it is just someone that saw the sign in your yard and is interested in getting a quick look, you just never know. Ask them politely to call your agent who handles all showings.

BE EXTRA VIGILANT ON KEEPING DOORS LOCKED

Often times a home for sale means home owners are not at home. So be sure to always keep your doors and windows locked. KEEPING YOUR HOME SAFE Once your listing goes live, we provide all the necessary shoe covers, hand sanitizer, protective gear, and friendly reminder signs for all of your showings.

YOUR HOME Listing

PLAN Marketing NETWORKING

EMAIL MARKETING An email will be sent to our current buyer database of thousands of buyers searching for properties on my website. A new listing email alert will go out to my agent network of thousands of agents in the area. PROPERTY FLYERS High quality property flyers will be displayed inside your home. These help potential buyers remember the key items and unique features of your home. OPEN HOUSES We have discovered a proven open house system that attracts serious buyers and helps your home achieve maximum exposure to potential buyers. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING We practice regular social media marketing on today’s top social sites which include and are not limited to: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

A large percentage of real estate transactions happen with co-operating agents in the country. I will expose your listing to this market. SIGNAGE A sign will be placed in your yard as well as pointers and open house signs before an open house. These will be placed at the most opportune times to gain the most exposure. SUPERIOR ONLINE EXPOSURE Buyers in today’s market first start their search online. We will meet your potential buyer where they are...online! Not only will your home be featured in the local MLS, it will also be syndicated to literally hundreds of other listing sites. Your home will be featured on our company website, and social media. LOCKBOXES Lockboxes are essential for the safety of all. They allow an agent to show your house whenever he or she needs to, rather than relying on you the owner for a key. Owners are also expected to vacate the property for showings. Having a lockbox makes this process much easier for all involved. SHOWINGS When we list your home, you will also be signed up with a showing service that immediately communicates with you when a showing is scheduled. When feedback isn’t left, I will follow up with those agents requesting their feedback within 24 hours.

YOUR HOME After listing

Home SHOWINGS

FLEXIBLE Be as flexible and accommodating to the buyers schedule as possible. We want to avoid having any missed opportunities. INFORMED Make sure everyone in the home is informed when showings are scheduled to ensure personal spaces are clean. DAILY CLEANING Keep up with daily messes. Wipe down kitchen and bathroom counters before leaving for the day. ODORS Avoid strong-smelling foods: Keep your meal prep as neutral and simple as possible.

FURRY FRIENDS

Keep pet areas clean. Clean up after your pets immediately and wash their bedding regularly. Hide pet food or litter. Not everyone is a pet person and it may hinder a potential buyers ability to picture themselves living in your home. NATURAL LIGHT Open blinds and curtains and let in as much natural light as possible. Leave lights on before you leave for a showing. TRASH Empty trash cans to avoid any odors. Try to empty trash cans nightly so that the home is fresh when you leave for the day. TEMPERATURE Keep the room temperature comfortable. This demonstrates to buyers that the HVAC is working properly. VACATE Having a seller present can make buyers feel awkward. We want to make the buyers feel at home and stay awhile.

PERSONALS

Make sure you place all valuables and prescriptions out of sight and in a safe place.

Offers Price is just one of many considerations when deciding which offer is best for your home. Here are some of the other factors to consider. CONTINGENCIES The fewer contingencies on an offer the better. Shorter time periods are also valuable. ALL CASH BUYER A cash offer is usually more appealing than a finance offer as the seller doesn’t need to worry about the bank approving the loan. PRE-APPROVAL Assures a home seller that the buyer can get the loan they need. LOAN TYPE A conventional loan is often the least complicated. This is an appealing choice for sellers. An FHA loan can cause delays because they require certain approvals. CLOSING TIMELINE You might need to close quickly to move on to the next adventure, or you might need to extend the closing date to allow time for your next home to be ready. Choosing the offer with the closing time that fits your needs will be most attractive to you. CLOSING COSTS Sometimes an offer comes in high, but the buyer asks you to pay a percentage of the buyer’s closing costs or some specific closing costs.

BUYER LETTER A buyer letter is usually a sort of introduction to the buyer(s) and helps the seller get to know the buyer with any specifics to their situation. REPAIR REQUESTS If your home is "turn key" or recently remodeled, there may be little to no repair requests. Some repair requests can be expensive. It's important to know what is best for you. OFFER PRICE Of course, price matters too! If a high offer will cost you more in closing costs, repairs, or other factors—then it probably won’t be the best offer for you.

Negotiations

WE CAN:

THE BUYER CAN THEN:

OFFER IS ACCEPTED:

ACCEPT THE COUNTER-OFFER

ACCEPT THE OFFER

Sign the purchase agreement and you are now officially under contract and in escrow! There are usually several contingency periods while in escrow. Now inspections, appraisals, or anything else built into your purchase agreement will take place.

DECLINE THE COUNTER-OFFER

DECLINE THE OFFER If the offer isn’t close enough to expectation and there is no need to negotiate. COUNTER-OFFER A counter-offer is when you offer to accept the buyers offer subject to different terms.

COUNTER THE COUNTER- OFFER

You can negotiate back and forth as many times as needed until you can reach an agreement or someone copts out.

Home APPRAISAL

If the buyer is seeking a loan to purchase your home they will need to have an appraisal performed by the bank to verify the home is in fact worth the loan amount. As a seller, we want the property to appraise for at least the sale amount or more. It is very difficult to successfully contest an appraisal. An experienced agent demonstrates certain strategies to reveal the value of the home prior to the appraisal.

APPRAISAL COMES IN AT OR ABOVE SALE PRICE

You are in the clear, and closing can be begin!

APPRAISAL COMES IN BELOW SALE PRICE

Renegotiate the sale price with the buyer Request buyer to cover the difference & renegotiate terms Cancel, & re-list Review any back-up offers, & possible cash offers

Closing THE SALE

WHAT TO EXPECT Closing is the point in the transaction when the buyer, seller, and all participating parties have fulfilled their legal obligations to one another. The escrow officer will look over the contract to determine what payments are owed by who, prepare documents for closing, perform the closing, & make sure all payoffs are completed. Now the buyer’s title is recorded and you receive all payoffs that are due to you.

WHY OFFER A BUYER COMMISSION?

Even though sellers are no longer required to offer a commission to a buyer’s agent under new NAR rules, there are several strategic reasons why a seller might still choose to do so.

ATTRACT MORE BUYERS Offering a commission to the buyer’s agent can make the listing more appealing to buyer agents, who may prioritize showing homes where their commission is covered. This increases the likelihood of more buyers viewing the property, which can lead to more competitive offers. agent commission are more likely to be shown frequently, potentially speeding up the sale. Without this incentive, some buyer agents might be reluctant to show the property, reducing its visibility. FASTER SALES PROCESS Homes with a buyer’s AVOID BUYER HESITATION If buyers are responsible for their agent's commission, they might hesitate or reduce their offer price to account for those costs. By offering to pay the commission, sellers can keep buyers more focused on the value of the home rather than the extra costs they’ll incur.

MARKET COMPETITIVENESS In a competitive market, offering a commission to the buyer’s agent could help the property stand out. Listings without a buyer agent commission might be seen as less attractive compared to similar homes where the commission is offered. EASIER TRANSACTION NEGOTIATIONS When the seller offers to cover the buyer’s agent commission, it removes one layer of negotiation and confusion. This can make the transaction smoother, reducing complications during offer and contract negotiations.
