Special Report How To Save
$6,000 Or More When Selling Your Home
When It's Time To Sell
Your Home, You Want To Get As Much Money As
Possible, As Quickly As Possible. This Special
Report Will Tell You How To Do Both!
Dear Homeowner,
For many people, selling a home entails a
mixture of sadness, fear, relief, and excitement.
You may have all kinds of mixed emotions. You
have very personal, very deep feelings about the
value of your home. You know how much you've put
into the care and upkeep, decorating and
improvement of the property. It's only natural
that you want prospective buyers to agree with
you.
Whether you decide to sell
your home yourself, or hire a real estate
professional to get the job done for you, there
is not room for guesswork today.
The "old fashioned"
ways of selling a home that worked back in the
70's and 80's can stall out
or worse
rob you of profits that are rightfully yours.
Getting the highest price for your home today
involves a thorough knowledge of the market, so
you must negotiate carefully in your favor. The
"right" knowledge is absolutely
essential.
Following Are Costly
Mistakes Many Sellers Make That Can Add Up To
Thousands Of Dollars Being Lost Unknowingly When
You Sell Your Home
Or Cause It To Not Sell
At All
- Not obtaining a
"total picture" of the entire
market before you start to sell.
- Not getting accurate
information about how long it will
actually take to get your home sold.
- Not understanding the
huge difference between "Total
Market Inventory" and your local
neighborhood and particular style of
home.
- Using a standard
comparative market analysis of similar
style properties to set the sale price of
your home.
- Not understanding the
five-step sequence of how buyers really
buy homes.
- Paying for ineffective
advertising.
- Not knowing the simple
steps of how to prepare your home to look
(and feel) like a "model home"
so that it has the highest probability of
attracting immediate interest (and top
dollar) from buyers.
- Not insisting that
interviewing agents verify their pricing
recommendations for your home.
- Letting a real estate
company "buy your listing" with
a temporarily inflated sales price.
- Not setting up bridge
financing if you are on a time deadline.
- Not fully evaluating
whether you should sell your home
yourself! (It might be to your advantage
to sell your home yourself.)
You Have A Right To Hear
The Facts
When it comes to selling your
home, you should be the one who decides what is
in your best interest:
- Whether you should sell
your home yourself.
- Whether to hire a real
estate professional to handle the sale
for you at a cost of 7% to 8% commission.
- Whether to hire a
consultant to put your home on the
Multiple Listing Service and give you
advice for under $700 total.
Gone are the easy money days
of the 70's and 80's when anybody could buy and
sell a house by just listing it on the market.
Selling any home today involves greater focus,
more financial precision and marketing smarts
because buyers are much more discriminating about
what they buy.
Getting The Highest Price
For Your Home Today Involves A Systematic
Approach
Today's buyers have a
tremendous number of homes from which they can
choose. Even if you don't have to sell, you're
forced to compete with other sellers who do have
to sell, and are willing to cut their price to
get a sale.
When buyers are as nervous as
they are these days about the economy, every
buyer counts! There is a systematic, eight-step
system that gets results!
There are eight financial and
marketing steps in the home selling process that
you should thoroughly understand... whether you
decide to sell your home yourself or hire a real
estate professional to do it for you. This
eight-step system is what's needed today to get
your home sold for the highest price... on
time... without hype or hassle!
The 8 Critical Steps Of
Effective Home Marketing:
- Understanding "Total
Market" conditions (not just your
immediate neighborhood).
- Accurately appraising
your home's value (not just an old
Comparative Market Analysis).
- Setting the right price
for your home (by setting the right price
range first).
- Calculating your
bottom-line net profit (using offer
price, not list price).
- Advertising and marketing
your home (not with same old, boring ads
everyone else uses).
- Preparing your home for
sale. (Knowing how to make buyers
instantly attracted. )
- Qualifying buyers and
negotiating contract offers (to get your
price).
- Getting financing and
closing your sale. (Avoid costly mistakes
that can derail your sale.)
By systematically executing
these steps, you will get better results. When
you decide to sell your home yourself or hire a
real estate agent, you should definitely expect
detailed information and straight answers, not
"sales talk" or hype that convinces you
into going with the company or agent who simply
says they're the biggest, or the best, or
whatever, to get your business.
Your home is one of your
biggest financial and emotional investments. You
should not expect to leave any element to
guesswork or chance.
Selling Your Home
Systematically Makes A Big Difference For Your
Peace Of Mind
Real estate agent Karen Abrams
gave Charlie and Donna a big hug as they left the
closing room at the title company.
Charlie and Donna were as
excited as two kids getting a favorite toy for
their birthday. This was the moment they had been
waiting for. The day when they would be able to
move into a brand new home in a beautiful area
that had the best schools and was just minutes
away from where they both worked!
Donna and Charlie couldn't
have been happier. And, the best part was that
they made the decision to move and sold their
previous home, all in the course of one month!
Even they were shocked at how fast the house
sold, especially when compared to how many homes
were listed for sale in their area and how long
many of them had been sitting.
Before choosing an agent to
sell their house, Donna and Charlie decided to
interview several Real Estate Agents. (They toyed
with the idea of selling it themselves, but
decided to talk to some real estate agents first,
"to see what they had to say.")
The first four agents that
came over all sounded like a broken record. They
all said the same old things like...
- "We're the biggest
company."
- "We sell more homes
in your area than anyone."
- "I'll work harder
for you than anyone else."
- "We have the most
aggressive marketing plan in the
world."
- "No one has more
resources than we do, to sell your home
fast."
- "I'm the top agent
in the area."
And on, and on, and on...
Donna and Charlie were less than impressed!
When Karen came over, she told them that she was
going to show them an eight-step sequence on how
to sell their home quickly, at the highest price
the market would pay. And, she said that these
eight steps could be done by her or them, if they
chose to sell the house themselves.
Donna And Charlie Almost Fell Over!
A real estate agent teaching them how to sell
their home themselves! Donna and Charlie tried it
themselves for a few weeks, with Karen's help.
Eventually, they listed the house with Karen,
using her Super Save Plan where they got Multiple
Listing Service coverage for only $995. Within
three weeks, they were the happy recipients of a
signed and accepted contract on the property.
Here's What Donna And Charlie Learned From
Karen:
- How to use
State-Of-The-Art Technology To Attract
Buyers Like a Magnet!

Marketing Mistake Most Real Estate Agents
Make!
- The Importance Of Having

After learning all these
home selling secrets, and after putting them to
use, Donna and Charlie are happily carrying boxes
into their brand new home!
What Donna and Charlie learned was that there are
specific techniques that can be used to sell a
home for the highest price - on time. What Karen
taught them is applied by fewer than one in a
hundred real estate agents. We can show you how
to do it, too!
I'll be happy to show you different options: how
to sell your home yourself or how to get Multiple
Listing Service exposure to all REALTORS¨ for as
low as $________! All you have to do is give my
office a call and reserve a seat at my Free Home
Seller's Seminar to be held on ______________
In my sellers seminar, you'll learn specific
information about how to sell your home that
isn't shared by the average real estate agent -
and you'll be very glad to learn it.
The Old Fashioned Ways Of Selling Homes Just
Don't Work Today!
You don't need to hear a sales talk or a
"Why We're So Great" story. What you
need is, "What Will Work, NOW!" You
need precise ways of using today's conditions to
get your house sold
at the highest price
the market will pay.
And that's what you will get at the seminar. I
will personally show you how to apply these eight
steps yourself, in the marketing of your own
home! When I'm done, you will have a choice
that's entirely yours: if you like what you see,
you can take the information you will learn at
the seminar and use it to sell your house without
me, or you can use it with me or any other agent
getting paid a commission.
Why would I offer to do this? Because I know what
I'm doing.
As is the case in many instances, you may want me
to complete the eight steps for you. However,
THAT WILL BE YOUR DECISION. What I promise you is
this: I will show you a plan that will make more
sense to you than anything you'll see from anyone
else about how to get your house sold for the
highest price.
The Last Thing Most "Traditional"
Real Estate Companies Want You To Think About Is
Selling Your Home Yourself.
The truth is, sometimes it's very appropriate to
do so! Well...I hope this gets you thinking.
Whether any, or all, of this makes sense, you
will probably have some questions. Maybe lots of
them. That's good! If I have stimulated you to
think about this, then I have done my job. Now,
it's time to do yours!
Please give us call while this is fresh on your
mind and you're feeling excited about the
possibilities. Even if your are skeptical (which
is only natural), a free phone call can't hurt.
The worst you will do is spend a few minutes
learning.
