The Bow Tie Homes Marketing Plan

*** Survey results based on National Association of Realtors 2008 survey

• Targeted Advertising to Agents• Agents who are working with buyers in your area• Agents with nearby listings who will be getting calls from buyers• Agents working with relocating buyers

(where allowed)

• Custom Flyers & Ads• Professional photography• 4 page color flyers at the property

Marketing Plus

• Print advertising• Only 3% of buyers find the home they purchase through newspaper

print advertising

• Regular open houses • 3/4 of buyers are working with real estate agents during their home search and

almost all buyers are searching the internet to locate homes they want to see

• Buyers ready & able to make a purchase schedule private showings of homes

• Most open house visitors are neighbors or people considering moving, but who aren’t ready to make a purchase yet

• Open houses help agents find new buyer clients, they don’t sell the house

What Doesn’t Sell Homes

• Agent open houses• Agents who are busy working with buyers, don’t have time to attend agent open houses

• Agents choose to attend an open house to be supportive for coworkers or for a free lunch…not because they have a potential buyer for the home!

• Targeting agents at a single real estate company• With about 10,000 agents in the St. Louis area, most real estate transactions involve a listing

agent and buyer’s agent who work for 2 different companies

• Whether an agent works for a company with 1 office or 20 offices, most agents only interact on a regular basis with 20-50 agents

What You Do & Don’t ControlSeller Controls:

• Property condition

• Availability for showing

• Asking price

• Home warranty

Seller Doesn’t Control:• Pricing of competition

• Buyer’s vs seller’s market

• Interest rates

• The price buyers thinks the house is worth

Pricing MisconceptionsIt is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the signing of the listing agreement. Historically, your first offer is usually your best offer.

Buyers & Sellers (and Appraisers) Determine Value

The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay in TODAY’S market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other properties SOLD in your area.

Once a buyer and seller agree on a price, the APPRAISER must also agree that the price is at fair market value or the buyer won’t be able to get a loan!

Selling Price vs. Time on Market

Homes get the most showings in the 1st month, and offers on newly listed homes come in for more money.

Overpriced homes will get showings but no offers. Buyers rarely come back when a price is reduced. Testing the market with an inflated price means missing out on most buyers.

Sell quickly and sell for a higher price!

Competitive Market Analysis

• Homes currently FOR SALE… our competition

• Homes UNDER CONTRACT and waiting to close… what buyers are paying today

• Homes which EXPIRED without selling… sellers asked more than the market will bear and buyers chose other homes which offered better features for the same price.

• Homes that have SOLD… what buyers have been willing to pay recently.

Buyers will make an offer on the home with the best features in the best location for the best price.

But if everything feels overpriced, buyers will simply not buy anything.

Preparing For The Offer

• ACCEPTANCE. Signed by all parties, dated, delivered… congratulations, you’re on your way to having your property sold!

• REJECTION. Unconditional… unfortunately, your home is still on the market.

• COUNTER OFFER. Any change to the contract constitutes a counter offer. You are now in the negotiation stage.

• NO ACTION. Equals rejection. Your home is still on the market.

In slow economic times, offers to purchase routinely come in “low” whereas in healthy economic times, offers are closer to the asking price. Do not be offended by any offer received .

We counter all offers, even the really low ones, since you never know what a buyer is really willing to pay.

InspectionsInspections and potential repairs are the main reason contracts don’t close.

Buyers normally have 10-15 days to get inspections and to terminate contract if they are not satisfied with the condition of the home.
