Step 1:   Preparing your home for the market.

I will:

· prepare and give you a Market Analysis to help you price your home correctly.

· prepare an estimated net proceeds from the transaction.

· Complete and review the listing agreement with you.

· Spend as much time needed together, we will walk through your home taking measurements, noting all amenities and upgrades, and I will give you staging recommendations so that it will be seen at its highest perceived value while competing in the marketplace.

· provide a lockbox to allow other Realtors access to your property.

· take lots of digital photos of both the interior and exterior of your home.

· pre-order title work, so when you are under contract the title work will be ready to go.

Step 2:   My marketing services.

I will:

· install the Coldwell Banker sign, sign riders, and a property brochure box for your yard.

· hire a professional photographer to take photos and create a virtual tour for your listing.

· create a multi-media tour of your home and provide a supply of cd’s for your home available for showings, open houses, etc.  (Photos, tour, and portfolio information all will be included.)

· order a “Property Portfolio” full of information on the neighborhood, schools, HOA, etc to be on site for buyers to review.

· create a specific web site for your home (ie: www.123mainstreet.com), and this site will be used on all marketing materials.

· create “Special Features” cards and place them throughout your home, noting items of interest or upgrades to stand out to prospective buyers.

· promote your property at our weekly office sales meetings, with an average attendance of 75 agents each week.

· hold your home open, as requested, which will include internet, newspaper advertising, and strategic sign placement throughout the neighborhood.

· conduct a reverse prospect search through the MLS and call the agents to market your property.

· Occasionally run an ad the Denver Post / Rocky Mountain News / or local newspaper to give your property added exposure.

· Network with other agents to motivate them to show and sell your property.  I constantly work to maintain a high rapport with the working agents in our area.

Step 3:  OUR COMMUNICATION DURING THE LISTING

I will ...

· Communicate!  This is KEY!  You will hear from me at least once per week, if not more often!

· provide you with copies of marketing materials, MLS printouts, etc for your review.

· set you up for email alerts, notifying you of your competition in the neighborhood and any price changes.

· discuss the market with you on a monthly basis, so we can be sure you are priced accordingly.

· Call all agents for feedback after showings and send out a “Thanks for showing” letter to them.

· Provide you with your own website on my “Top Producer” program, so you have access to everything from marketing to feedback information about your listing.

· Be available when contacted, to present all offers that are written on your property.

· Qualify all purchasers to the best of my ability. 

· Provide you with my list of service providers.

Step 4:  CLOSING YOUR TRANSACTION

I will …

· Keep you informed on the progress of your sale from contract to closing.

· Work hard to handle any situation that may arise with lenders, title companies, appraisers, underwriters, inspectors, buyers, and other agents during the time your property is under contract.

· Be with you at closing.  After all, we’ve worked hard to achieve this!

· Be available during those post-closing days when you may have questions.

· Follow-up with you after closing.  This includes being on my exclusive mailing list, and not to mention an occasional phone call to see how things are going.

I work hard to represent you on the prompt sale of your home at the best possible price.  When, and only when, you have received the proceeds from the sale of your home, do I receive payment for my services.  I look forward to serving you.
