Vicki's Home Selling System

This system is designed to sell your home:

  • at the highest price and best terms.
  • in the shortest period of time.
  • with the least inconvenience to you.

Preparing you and your property for the sale

  1. Prepare detailed professional comparative market analysis (CMA) to provide you with the information you need to determine your home's market value and to select the best list price which will bring you top dollar in today's market.

  2. Inspect your property and make suggestions to maximize its potential. In conjunction with the CMA, this will enable us to best determine market value and marketability.

  3. Inspect competing homes during the entire listing period. Helps me in preparation of your CMA, keeps you informed on the competition and prepares me in dealing with interested buyers.

  4. Explain the entire selling process - sales contract, closing costs, appraisals, loans, termite and home inspections, lead-based paint inspections, disclosures requires by law and settlement.

  5. Prepare net sheet that estimates the profit minus your expenses from the sale of your home.

Marketing Your Home

Prepare multiple listing service (MLS) copy and enter it into the Tucson AND Green Valley Multiple Listing Services with over 7,500 agent members.

Take digital Virtual Tour and digital pictures of major features of your home for use in fact sheets, flyers, postcards, print ads and the Internet through NUMEROUS web sites..

Order a  sign. This will help ensure maximum exposure to the market. NAR statistics suggest that upwards of 70% of all calls to real estate offices come from potential buyers driving through a neighborhood and seeing the sign post. Coldwell Banker Real Estate is a Nationally (and internationally) recognized and trusted name among home buyers.

Determine target-markets for your home. The most likely locations potential buyers can be found.  Vicki has exclusive marketing rights and access to potential buyers through several companies, agencies and facilities, that other Realtors do not, providing you with a bigger, qualified pool of potential buyers.

Prepare "for sale" postcards and flyers to be sent to advertise your property to target-marketed potential buyers, neighbors (a primary source of buyers), agents and related professionals.

Prepare and send emails advertising your property to Licensed Realtors across the nation and in town (irregardless of the company affiliation) with whom Vicki has done prior business.


Prepare fact sheets and brochure box flyers
 to inform and excite buyers who see it. Brochure Box flyers will be placed on the signpost to provide information for "drive-by-buyers".


Prepare and place CD's with Virtual Tours in specialized Information boxes
 to inform technically advanced buyers who see it.  Information boxes will be placed on the signpost to provide information for "drive-by-buyers".  CD's are also sent to buyers across the nation who are interesting in YOUR home or relocating to this area.

Every listing is placed on my web site.
Within a few days, details of your property are available worldwide. National search engines and Real Estate sites, such as Yahoo, Homes.com,  HarmonHomes.com and Realtor.com will receive the information.


Enhanced showcase on web sites:
When the listing appears on the web sites, I will add custom features such as additional photos (with my digital camera), appealing headlines, and extended property description information. As potential buyers use this major search tool to find homes - often long before they contact an agent - your property will have extra exposure not found with many listings.  Your listing will also be placed ahead of other companies listings due to my special relationships and paid positioning with different companies and search engines.
 

Write notes to top selling agents introducing them to your property.  I also email out-of-area agents who do referral business in this area.


Prepare your property for the next brokers' tour.
Brokers and agents "tour" new listings on Tuesday's. We'll plan for the most appropriate day for this purpose. Faxes will be sent to local agents and brokers offices announcing the sale of your home.


Prepare advertising copy for appropriate print media
to expose your property to the marketplace. The following are the print media I use to market homes. The specific ones used will vary. I will choose the most effective vehicles for your property.

Networking with other agents
to constantly keep your property on the mind of agents when they work with their buyers. I will call agents, and send flyers and postcards to their offices and brokers. Exposure is critical!  Marketing other agents is just as critical as marketing the general public.


Continually follow up phone calls to agents who have shown your property.
Obtain feedback and constructive criticism from buyers and agents.


Qualify all Buyers
I bring you. Request that Agents have their Buyers get loan commitment prior to making an offer. This will guarantee that the contract will not fall through due to the Buyer's inability to qualify for his loan.


Present all contract offers.
We will examine all the terms to determine what works best for you.


Taking Your Contract To Settlement

  1. Schedule all inspections, such as home, termite, etc. inspections at a convenient time for you.

  2. Stay in contact with the lender, to assure she/he is doing her/his job in a timely fashion.

  3. Oversee the progress of all contingencies and inspections, making sure they are removed in a timely fashion and in compliance with the contract.

  4. Follow up with the selling agent, lender, title companies, inspectors, etc.

  5. Keep you informed of progress during the various steps towards settlement.

  6. Meet the appraiser to ensure that he has all the necessary information to justify the full sales price.

  7. Provide any information lender, title companies and inspectors may require.

  8. I will go the extra mile !!!
