Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. —1 Peter
4:10

Real estate is extremely momentous. It has the potential to impact our finances,
lifestyles, & our physical and emotional health. It holds the ability to transform our
communities and economies as a whole. Unfortunately, a real estate transaction is also
associated with the reputation of being one of the most stressful events of a person’s
lifetime.

I believe that each one of us was created with a set of gifts, skills, and experiences
intended for the purpose of serving others. My mission as a real estate agent is to:

- Assist my clients in building wealth through the ownership of real estate


- Remove the stress of the home-buying and selling processes
- Establish a network of loyal clients and earn lifelong referrals

Owning real estate is a huge privilege and milestone! I am committed to go above and
beyond your expectations by pouring into each client with my fullest ability. I will not
settle for less.

I strive to set the example that with dedication and faith, you can achieve amazing
things. Being a real estate agent is more than a career to me. By supporting my small
business, you’re investing in the future generation of our community!

Pricing Strategy
I am not the one who decides how much your home is worth. The market does!

The consequences of making the wrong decision are painful. If you price your home too low, you could be giving
away thousands of dollars that could have been in your pocket. Price it too high and your home will sit unsold for
months, developing the reputation of a problem property. Setting the proper asking price for your home is the single
biggest factor that will determine the success or failure of your home sale.

The first 30 days are critical! A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market. The number of
showings is greatest during this time if it priced at a realistic market value. Starting too high and dropping the price
later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong showing activity. Many homes that start too high end up
selling below market value, or not at all!

B E NE F I T S OF AC C UR AT E P R OP E R T Y P R I C I NG

• Faster Sale: The proper list price gets a faster sale, which means you save on mortgage payments, real
estate taxes, insurance, and other carrying costs.

• Less Inconvenience: As you may know, it takes a lot of time and energy to prepare your home for
showings, keep the property clean, make arrangements for children and pets, and generally alter your
lifestyle. Proper pricing shortens market time.

• Higher Offers: When a property is priced right, buyers are less likely to make a low offer for fear of losing
out on a great value or causing a delay that could lead to a multiple offer situation.

• More Money to Sellers: When a property is priced right, the excitement of the market produces a higher
sales price in less time. You NET more due to the higher sales price and lower carrying costs.

DI S ADVANT AGE S OF I NAC C UR AT E P R OP E R T Y P R I C I NG

• Reduces Activity: Agents won’t show the property if they feel it is priced too high.

• Loss of Interested Buyers: The property will seem inferior in amenities to other properties in the same price
range that are correctly priced.

• Helps the Competition: The high price makes your competition look like a better deal.

• Eliminates Offers: Since a fair priced offer will be lower than asking price and may insult the seller, many
buyers will just move on to another property.

• Causes Appraisal Problems: Appraisers must base their value on what the comparable properties have sold
for. Even if you sold for a price above market, the price would eventually need to be adjusted if it’s a
financed offer when it doesn’t appraise at the higher sales price.

• Lower Net Proceeds: Most of the time, an overpriced property ends up selling for less than if it would have
been properly priced to begin with, not to mention the extra carrying costs.

Marketing Plan

2 W A L K - T H R U E V A L U A T I O N
I will walk your property, imagining I am seeing it from the eyes of an unbiased buyer. During this step, I will
take notes and pictures of both positive and negative aspects. Using this information, I will compile a report
containing recommendations, updates, and repairs suggested to improve your home’s condition, desirability,
and overall value. Using a productivity application called Evernote, I will provide you with detailed checklists
with specific suggestions, labeled by priority.

3 I D E N T I F Y I N G Y O U R T A R G E T M A R K E T
Knowing the target market your property will be aiming to reach is critical in effective marketing. I will
analyze both the demographic and psychographic profiles of your home. This will help us to determine
which features are most important to highlight and showcase for said demographic.

4 S T A G I N G
Staging defines the space and inspires potential buyers to picture
themselves owning your home as a result. I know what
it takes to make a terrific first and lasting impression on your target
market. Using modern interior decor, I will stage your home to
address the features most important to buyers, while highlighting
your home’s most desirable qualities. If your home is occupied and
staged to your desire, we will work together to analyze your
property and aim to highlight and feature your property’s most
desirable features.
