THE DRAWBACKS OF OVERPRICING REDUCES ACTIVITY: Agents won t show the property if they feel it is priced too high. LOWER ADVERTISING RESPONSE: Buyer excitement will be with other properties that offer better value. LOSS OF INTERESTED BUYERS: The property will seem inferior in amenities to other properties in the same price range that are correctly priced. ATTRACTS THE WRONG PROSPECTS: Serious buyers will feel that they should be getting more for their money. HELPS THE COMPETITION: The high price makes the others look like a good 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 comparable properties have sold for. LOWER NET PROCEEDS: Most of the time an overpriced property will eventually end up selling for less than if it had been properly priced to begin with, not to mention the extra carrying costs.

THE BENEFITS OF PROPER PRICING FASTER SALE: The proper 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 price shortens market time. INCREASED SALESPERSON RESPONSE: When salespeople are excited about a property and its price, they make special efforts to contact all their potential buyers and show the property whenever possible. EXPOSURE TO MORE PROSPECTS: Pricing at market value will open your home up to more people who can afford it. BETTER RESPONSE FROM ADVERTISING: Buyer inquiry calls are more readily converted into showing appointments when the price is not a deterrent. HIGHER OFFERS: When a property is price right, buyers are much less likely to make a low offer, for fear of losing out on a great value. 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.

ALL AGENTS ARE NOT EQUAL! Professors have Doctorates... Physicians have Medical Degrees... REALTORS have DESIGNATIONS! How can you tell if your real estate agent has the knowledge and experience you need? Ask about their Designations! Designations mean your agent has invested their time and money to attend courses, take and pass difficult exams, and achieve specified levels of professional achievement in order to earn each Designation. This translates into a professional with highly advanced degrees to assist you in protecting YOUR biggest asset.

Scott Irvin has invested his time and money to earn ABR, ASR & CDPE designations in order to better serve his clients! Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer s Agent Council (REBAC), an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS, to real estate professionals who both meet the specified educational criteria and show the practical experience essential to excelling in the field of buyer representation. Accredited Seller Representative (ASR) The Accredited Seller Representative (ASR) designation is the most sought-after seller representation designation in real estate. This designation focuses on enhancing the professional skills of seller's agents so as to enable them to provide true "value added" service to today's home seller.

FACT On the average...buyers inspect 12 homes before making an offer. That means 11 other homes are competing against yours. What this means to you is In today s market, buyers are increasingly savvy. Many sellers are testing the market resulting in a high number of listings. This means the competition is stiff! Working together, we can make sure that your home gets the attention it needs to stand out from the pack. Your job is to make your home bright, shiny and clean; as close to a model home as possible. Our job is to tell the world and work to gain maximum market exposure.

There are 5 ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS that comprise the formula for the SUCCESSFUL sale of your home. CONDITION LOCATION MARKET TERMS PRICE Your home will sell at the highest profit and in the quickest amount of time when all the ingredients are combined perfectly. If only one ingredient is left out of the formula or is out of proportion to the others Your home will take longer to sell and will, quite possibly COST YOU MONEY!

PRICE is the #1 most important factor in the sale of your home. The consequences of making the wrong decision are painful. If you price your home too low, you will literally give 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 (everyone will think that there is something wrong with it). Failure to understand market conditions and properly price your home can cost you thousands of dollars and cause your home not to sell...fouling up all of your plans. Setting the proper asking price for your home is the single biggest factor that will determine the success or failure of your home sale. I Won t Let this Happen to You! Utilizing the latest computer technology and my in depth knowledge of the market, we will analyze current market conditions in combination with your personal time requirements to identify the correct price range for your home. You can t afford any guesswork in this critical step!

LOCATION The pricing of your home must reflect its location. The better the location, the higher the acceptable price. School districts, high and low traffic, and highway accessibility, all need to be considered in determining the value of your home s location. We cannot control the location. CONDITION The pricing of your home must accurately reflect its condition. The general upkeep and presentation of your home is critical to obtaining the highest value for your home. Nature of the roof, plumbing, carpets, and paint all relate to condition. Basic rule: If we can smell it...we can t sell it. MARKET Recession, inflation, interest rates, mortgage availability, competition, and the public s perception of the general economy all make up the market. It may be a buyers market or a seller s market. The pricing of your home must reflect the current nature of the market because we can not influence the market. TERMS The more financing terms and options you accept, the more potential buyers there will be for your property. The pricing of your home must reflect the terms available. The easier the terms, the more valuable your property becomes. (And this is where our team of professional Affiliates really shine-by offering a broad, full-spectrum of mortgage products and options to both you and all potential buyers.

PRICING GUIDELINES What you paid for your property does not affect its value. The amount of money you need to get out of the sale of your property does not effect its value. What you think it should be worth has no effect on value. What another real estate agent says your property is worth does not affect its value. An appraisal does not always indicate what your property is worth on the open market. The value of your property is determined by what a ready willing and able buyer will pay for it in the open market, which will be based upon the value of other recent closed sales. BUYERS DETERMINE VALUE!! DO NOT automatically list with the agent that gives you the highest price. Consumer Reports stated Expect the agent to suggest a price range, but don t let that frame you in. Be aware that some devious agents will, at first, suggest a very handsome price. Then, after they have the listing and the house hasn t sold, they ll come back with a pitch to lower the price.

COMMON REAL ESTATE MYTHS MYTH: The Scott Irvin Home Selling Team sells a lot of real estate. Perhaps they are too busy to pay attention to my listing. TRUTH: Just as great restaurants are always busy and superior doctors have a heavy patient load, the Scott Irvin Home Selling Team s success in marketing and selling homes has resulted in a busy schedule. But like good restaurants and doctors, Scott Irvin has assembled a team of top-notch people to assist with all of the details. The result is outstanding customer service and support. The long list of satisfied clients speaks for itself. MYTH: TRUTH: A discount broker can do it just as well and save me money. Successfully marketing a property in our competitive marketplace takes skill and resources. All of the promotional costs such as photos, brochures, printing, signs, advertisements, MLS fees, direct mail, etc. are paid for by Scott Irvin. How will a discount broker offer such a complete marketing campaign? Does the discount broker have a team to personally tend to your specific needs? Do they have a proven track record of success, or are they just using the lower commission to try to win your business? Do they have the expertise to guide you through the problems that often develop during the closing process? Remember that you only actually pay a brokerage fee if and when your property sells. Many sellers have found that their commission with a discount broker was really zero, because their property never sold! It is interesting to note that a discount broker does not have a dominant market share in any major city in the country. MYTH: TRUTH: I should select the agent that suggests the highest price. This is the oldest scam in real estate sales: Tell the seller what they want to hear, compliment the home, and agree to list it at an unrealistically high price just to get the listing. Then, after you have the listing for a few weeks, start telling the seller that they need to reduce the price.

Scott Irvin and Associates does not play any games. Scott provides a well researched computerized market analysis to determine the true realistic price that your home will bear in today s marketplace. The decisions of which agent to list with and what price to ask are two completely separate decisions. Never select an Agent based on the price they suggest, rather, select your Agent based on their CREDENTIALS and MARKETING PLAN, and then decide on price together. MYTH: TRUTH: Property condition is not that important to buyers. WRONG! A property in superior condition will sell faster and for a higher price than a home in average condition. Buyers purchase properties that are the most appealing, and a home in great condition with a reasonable asking price always tops the list. Sellers that invest in necessary repairs and keep their home clean and fresh always reap rewards. MYTH: TRUTH: Empty homes are harder to sell than occupied homes. Vacant homes often sell faster for several reasons, but again it all depends on condition. A vacant home that is clean, in good repair and priced fairly will sometimes sell faster because the rooms will appear larger without furniture and clutter, buyers can easily visualize their furnishings in the home, and most agents prefer to show vacant homes because they can go anytime without worrying about making appointments, etc. MYTH: Pricing a home for sale is a mysterious process. TRUTH: Your home will sell for what the market will bear. To determine the range of value for your home, it takes a solid knowledge of the market. And because every home is unique, your home will sell more near the high or low end of the range depending on its specific attributes like location and condition. Scott Irvin utilizes a computer database along with years of experience to help you decide where to set the price. It is not simple, but it isn t mysterious either.

REFERRALS / RELOCATION Significant portions of our buyers come from outside the local area. These are often job transfers and corporate relocations. As a member of several relocation and referral networks, we get the information on these buyers before anyone else. This provides more potential buyers for your home, since we always try to show our own listings first to these qualified buyers.
