sie. She Impressed me with her skills, frequent updates, knowledge, and resources. She did an awe-
some job selling my last two proper�es and I have recommended her to all my associates that are in
the market to buy or sell.

2. Pricing 2. Pricing 2. Pricing 2. Pricing
Pricing is likely your biggest concern in selling your home. You are probably wondering, “How will you
determine my suggested lis�ng price?” This is a great ques�on as pricing your home correctly is absolutely
necessary in order to sell.
I will extensively research homes comparable to yours that are currently on the market, pending or have
recently sold. I also review lis�ngs that expired or were cancelled prior to selling. I will use this informa�on
to prepare a Compara�ve Market Analysis (CMA). CMA prepara�on is something you can expect most
agents to do for you. While considering comparable sales is extremely important, it is necessary to consider
more than historical data to determine an accurate lis�ng price. It is also essen�al to consider current
market condi�ons as it is likely that the market has changed since other homes have sold.
In addi�on to considering recent sales I:
• Determine your odds of selling
• Assess the number of lis�ngs that are ac�ve on the market vs. the number of lis�ngs that are
pending. This enables me to determine market ra�os and iden�fy whether we are currently in a buy-
er’s market, balanced market, or seller’s market. This is cri�cal informa�on that has a significant im-
pact on the pricing of your home. If the data indicates the market is to the sellers advantage, you
may opt to price your home fairly aggressively. Conversely, if we are in the midst of a buyer’s market,
it will be necessary to price your home more compe��vely.
• Monitor compe�ng lis�ngs. It is important for us to be aware of the compe��on, along with price
adjustments and other changes applied to compe�ng homes.
• Review the number of days homes are spending on the market. Comparing your �meframe to sell
with the average number of days homes are on the market may impact your lis�ng price. For
example, say you are reloca�ng to a different state for employment in 60 days, yet the average
market �me for homes is current 180 days. This informa�on may lead you to apply a more
compe��ve asking price to your home than you would if the average market �me was 30 days.
• Track absorp�on rates to determine how many months of inventory are currently on the market.
• Note the average price per square foot for recently sold homes.
• Calculate original list prices vs. sales prices and final list prices, for homes that have had price
reduc�ons, vs. sales prices to iden�fy averages and trends.
• Consider market apprecia�on rates
• Monitor buying pa;erns to see if there are seasonal trends in sales of similar homes
• Review assessed values vs. the sales prices of recently sold comparable homes to determine the
ra�os. This enables me to iden�fy if there are any consistent current market trends between
assessed values and sales prices.

Your pricing strategy will have a direct correla�on with whether or not your home will sell and the
corresponding �meframe. I will educate you about current market trends and condi�ons and will help you
determine a list price that will a;ract buyers and provide the greatest possible return on your investment.
Ul�mately, my research and analysis yields data that is necessary to provide you a compe��ve posi�on in the
marketplace.
It is important to consider your odds of selling are highest when your home
is new on the market. The reason for this is your home will receive the most
interest and excitement from agents and poten�al buyers when it first
enters the market. As a result, it is cri�cal to price your home accurately
from the start. Of course too low of a list price would not allow you to
realize the highest net possible on your sale. On the other hand, an
excessive lis�ng price will not a;ract agents or buyers and your home will
begin to accumulate days on the market.
An extended market �me is counter-produc�ve as sta�s�cs from the
Mul�ple Lis�ng Service demonstrate a correla�on between the
number of days homes spend on the market and price reduc�ons. At
the same �me, the costs of keeping the home, such as property tax-
es, u�lity expenses, and interest on the mortgage, con�nue to accu-
mulate. An extended market �me can also lead poten�al buyers to
assume there is something is wrong with your home and they may
decide to forgo it altogether. As a result, it is more strategic and cost
effec�ve to have a compe��ve lis�ng price from day the “For Sale”
sign goes up rather than “tes�ng the market.”
Working with Jessie was the best experience I have had in the real estate world! I have bought and sold four
other homes the past. The difference in hiring Jessie as my agent was that at every turn of the buying process,
she was always a step ahead of anything that could slow down the process. She does her research, knows the
market and truly listens to what the buyer wants. Jessie goes above and beyond to make buying a home a
stress free experience. She is a 10 in my book! I will refer Jessie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

3. Technology and Marketing3. Technology and Marketing3. Technology and Marketing3. Technology and Marketing Technology and marke�ng are cri�cal components in selling your home. Technology has changed everything,
including selling real estate. I am technologically savvy and I understand trends in technological advances and
the impact technology has had on real estate marke�ng. A strong lis�ng presenta�on and internet presence are
cri�cal to a successful marke�ng campaign.
I take great pride in my marke�ng campaign. I hired a company that specializes exclusively in real estate
marke�ng to design and create customized marke�ng materials. My marke�ng campaign provides a
professional presenta�on for homes through a variety of marke�ng and technological avenues.
I will create an appealing presenta�on for your home. My first step is to make sure your home is ready to be
show-cased. The way you live in your home and the way we market and sell your house are two different
things! I will walk-through your home and advise you if I have any recommenda�ons for improvement.
It is impera�ve to de-clu;er, de-personalize and detail your home, as you would a car for sale. First impressions
are cri�cal and buyers need to be able to mentally move their own belongings in. Buyers who can’t mentally
move in move on. Buyers purchase homes based on price and emo�on, so you need to set the stage for them to
fall in love! The more in love a buyer falls, the more they will be willing to pay for your home! Preparing your
home appropriately is necessary to sell your home and can increase your final sale price!
Once your home is market-ready I will take high quality photos and succinctly ar�culate marke�ng remarks to
promote your property. A?er crea�ng an a;rac�ve and appealing presenta�on, I will focus on web-based
marke�ng. It is extremely important that your lis�ng has a strong internet presence as almost all buyers
(approximately 96%) search online before physically going to look at property.
Most importantly, I will list your home on the Northwest Mul�ple Lis�ng Service (NWMLS). It is essen�al your
home is listed on the NWMLS because every real estate company’s website hosts lis�ngs from the NWMLS. As a
result, your lis�ng will be available for viewing on www.windermere.com, www.remax.com,
www.johnlsco;.com, etc approximately 24 hours a?er we submit your lis�ng to the MLS.
The majority of serious buyers are working with a real estate professional. Real estate agents monitor new
lis�ngs very closely and will send their clients lis�ngs directly from the NWMLS. Many people enjoy searching
for homes online as well. The most popular websites amongst online shoppers belong to Windermere, RE/MAX,
Redfin and John L. Sco;. However, I will adver�se your home on several other websites as well.
Aside from the NWMLS and major real estate company’s websites, I have found the site that receives the most
ac�vity from poten�al buyers is Realtor.com. Realtor.com reaches buyers na�onally and interna�onally and
receives nearly 6 million unique visitors each month. Realtor.com has the most updated data online with
updates every 15 minute from major MLS’ across the country. Many of the websites listed above receive
minimal ac�vity in comparison to the NWMLS and the leading real estate company’s websites. However, I s�ll
adver�se on numerous websites because I believe the more exposure, the be;er!
Your lis�ng will also be adver�sed on my website, www.JessieGrandpre.com. I have invested in a custom
website, rather than a template site, because custom sites rank higher with Google, thus increasing the visibility
of your home. My powerful and informa�ve website gets good traffic as it has all of the features poten�al
buyers need to make their search process simple and efficient.
I am also ac�ve in several social networking websites. My online ac�vity is beneficial for you for a couple of
reasons. First, the more ac�vity I generate on the internet, the higher my website will rank, which provides
greater exposure for your lis�ng. In addi�on, buyers who are searching for real estate online are likely to come
across my website and social networking sites. Poten�al buyers learn that I am a local real estate expert and in
some cases will contact me and subsequently will become a part of my database. This puts me in a stronger
posi�on to funnel poten�al buyers to your lis�ng. In summary, my marke�ng campaign showcases your home through professional materials and numerous tech-
nological avenues. As a result, your home will receive op�mal exposure and a compe��ve edge in the market.
4. Broker’s Open and Open Houses 4. Broker’s Open and Open Houses 4. Broker’s Open and Open Houses 4. Broker’s Open and Open Houses
Broker’s Opens present an opportunity for agents to preview your home. The
number of agents who turnout varies by area, but for the most part a;endance has been minimal in the last
couple of years. I s�ll like to hold a Broker’s Open to encourage agents to preview your home and to provide
addi�onal exposure for your lis�ng on the NWMLS.
Broker’s Open:
Open Houses: Open houses provide the opportunity for the public to preview your home. The reality is that 96% of buyer’s
look at homes online. Driving around looking for open houses is not as popular these days as it has been in the
past, especially with the surge in gas prices. The internet provides all of the informa�on people want, plus
more, elimina�ng the need for buyers to randomly look at homes hoping they meet their specific criteria.
With the excep�on of new construc�on communi�es, most open houses yield li;le traffic. The majority of
people who a;end open houses are neighbors or folks who enjoy looking at real estate as a pas�me. If people
actually looking to buy a home a;end an open house, the probability of that home being perfect for them is
extremely low. It is also possible that open house a;endees will not qualify for financing to purchase a home.
It is important to consider the safety concerns involved with open houses. There have been many “incidents”
at open houses recently resul�ng in the NWMLS, real estate brokers as well as police departments advising
sellers and agents to assess the pros and cons of holding open houses. Agents have been harassed, robbed and
even murdered at open houses. There are a handful of agents at my office who will not hold open houses
because of safety concerns and bad experiences. People with ill-inten�ons have posed as poten�al buyers to
case homes while they were open and returned later to burglarize the home. Jewelry, prescrip�on drugs and
even video games amongst other items have been stolen during open houses. Of course, it is highly unlikely
that your open house would lead to misfortune. However, it is necessary for you to be aware of the risks
affiliated with opening your home up to the public.
Published agent feedback in response to the ques�on, “Do open houses a;ract more buyers?” varies
significantly. Posi�ve comments include, “open houses can generate ac�vity and interest in a home that would-
n’t have been generated otherwise” and “homes will not sell without showings. Open houses provide another
opportunity to get poten�al buyers in the door.” The majority of the posi�ve responses to this ques�on em-
phasized that open house are a good source of lead genera�on for agents, rather than providing a selling ad-
vantage for homeowners.
There is also a significant amount of nega�ve feedback in response to the effec�veness of open houses.
Agent comments included, “They are ineffec�ve. They draw very few serious buyers and lots of curiosity
seekers. Especially nosy neighbors who always wondered what your house might look like from the inside!”
Another agent commented that he only does open houses to “show sweat equity to the seller.” A broker
responded, “With all of the electronic marke�ng vehicles available, open houses are a bit of an an�quated
marke�ng technique, not to men�on the poten�al inconvenience or endangerment to the seller. There can
also be safety issues and iden�ty the? considera�ons.” A 30 year veteran to the business said, “I really don't
believe open houses a;ract more buyers. They are a thing of the past. Serious buyers use the Internet and
seasoned Realtors. The cost of gas is very likely keeping more people at their computers as well.”
In most cases, if your home is not located in a remote area, I am willing to hold your home open as there a
�ny frac�on of homes that sell as a result of an open house. However, it is important that you have realis�c
expecta�ons for open houses and understand the possible safety concerns. Let me know what your
preferences are about holding your home open to the public.
During the course of my sale, it became evident that Jessie is well-respected by her peers in the
real estate industry. I was told by four people involved in my sale that I had one of the best agents
represen�ng me. Jessie’s communica�on style engaged easily with all par�es involved. It was
evident that everyone trusted her knowledge of the sale and her commitment to closing the deal.

5. Communication5. Communication5. Communication5. Communication
What are your communica�on preferences? How o?en do you want to hear
from me? What is your preferred method of communica�on? Telephone?
Email? Text? Many people only want to hear from me when there is
something to report. You may prefer more or less communica�on. Please let
me know what you prefer and I will respond accordingly.
I will supply feedback reports a?er the Broker’s Open and any open houses. In
addi�on, each �me an agent shows your home I will contact the agent for
feedback. I will pass the comments and informa�on along to you verbally or in
the form of a feedback report. I will also periodically supply you with reports
informing you how many agents have viewed your lis�ngs on the MLS and how
many consumers have viewed your lis�ng on Windermere, Realtor.com,
Zillow.com and other websites that allow us to track online ac�vity.
A?er you accept an offer on your home there will be several subsequent steps
and �melines involved with the sale. I will make you a calendar of the
�melines involved and will assist you with every step.
A/er I accepted an offer, Jessie supplied me
with an in-depth schedule of events that need-
ed to take place between the acceptance and
the closing. The calendar was extremely useful
in guiding me as to when I needed to have pa-
perwork ready and decisions made. Jessie
placed an emphasis on making sure I was com-
fortable and informed throughout the en�re
transac�on.
~Felice
Selling a home is more complicated than just finding a buyer.
There are many steps to take between pending and closing.
6. Commission6. Commission6. Commission6. Commission Tradi�onally, sellers pay 6% in commissions - 3% to the seller's agent and 3% to the buyer's agent. However,
commission amounts aren't cast in stone. Commission rates can fluctuate depending on the situa�on and the
property. For example, commissions affiliated with vacant land sales are o?en structured differently than
commissions paid on residen�al sales. Commission on a $2,000,000 home may vary from a $200,000 home. I
am happy to discuss the costs and the benefits of working with me.
The commission structure an agent has with his or her brokerage will range from one real estate office to the
next. Some agents pay a monthly “desk fee” to the broker, which can exceed $1500 per month, and then
keep the majority of the commission earned. Other agents are on a commission “split” with their brokerage,
which means they have an agreement on the percent of the commission the agent and brokerage will
receive. Some agents retain as li;le as 28% of the commission. However, the most common commission
structure is that the agent and the brokerage split the commission 50/50.
Consider that out of the 25% of the original commission amount that each agent typically receives, the agent
will s�ll have to pay income tax, Realtor and MLS fees, adver�sing costs and other miscellaneous costs
including signs and installa�on, lockboxes, copies, website expenses, gas, cell phone, etc. The remaining
balance will be the agent’s compensa�on for their �me, exper�se and effort involved in selling your home.
8. About Me8. About Me8. About Me8. About Me I graduated from Willame;e University then entered the work force at a corporate law firm in Sea;le. I
subsequently taught English in Japan and Special Educa�on in Sea;le and traveled around the world. I have
worked, studied in and traveled to nearly 50 countries. Traversing the world has demonstrated to me how
fortunate I am to live and work in the Pacific Northwest.
In 2006 I teamed up with my mom, Sally Boge, who was a very successful real estate broker. Sally was a great
mentor and I quickly learned all of the intricacies involved with helping people buy and sell real estate. Sally
and I made a powerful team for several years. Sally re�red in 2011, knowing our clients are in excellent hands.
I am happily married to a great man, Ted, and I have a precious Boston Terrier named Max. I love travelling,
playing tennis and exercising, reading, spending �me with friends and family, dogs, happy hours, and a;ending
classes on various topics related to real estate (seriously!).
I thoroughly enjoy and excel at the many different components involved with being a successful realtor:
marke�ng, nego�a�ng, pricing, real estate contracts and legal aspects, market and trend analysis, staging,
matching people with homes and proper�es, communica�ng with the numerous par�es involved with a sale
and problem solving. Working as a real estate broker is a great match for my skill set, energy level and
personality. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than represent home buyers and sellers!
7. Costs Affiliated With Selling7. Costs Affiliated With Selling7. Costs Affiliated With Selling7. Costs Affiliated With Selling In addi�on to paying real estate commissions, Sellers typically pay the following costs from their proceeds at
closing:
•Excise tax
•One-half of �tle and escrow fees
•Document prepara�on, recording and reconveyance fees
•Pro-rated taxes from the tax due-date to date of closing
•Any costs involved with paying off the loan
•Any other costs agreed to in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, such as the buyer’s closing costs
There may be addi�onal costs as well. Sellers will receive the prorated por�on of pre-paid property taxes,
prorated mortgage interest from payments made during the current month and a fuel rebate for oil or propane
remaining in storage tank (if applicable). Prior to closing the escrow officer will generate an Es�mated
Se;lement Statement itemizing all of the costs affiliated with selling.

Working with Jessie to purchase my first home was a pleasure. She was pa�ent and understanding of
my home requirements. We must have looked at 30+ houses that were with-in my categories before I
made a decision. I never felt pressured to buy a specific house or rushed to make a decision. Because I
was a first �me home buyer, it was great to have Jessie there to help me understand the buying process.
She is very knowledgeable and gave me many op�ons to work with. There is no doubt in my mind that I
would work with Jessie again when I decide to sell and/or purchase a new home. I have o/en
recommended Jessie to my friends. The service Jessie provides is very professional and I felt very
comfortable working with her.

10. Additional Benefits of Working With Me10. Additional Benefits of Working With Me10. Additional Benefits of Working With Me10. Additional Benefits of Working With Me 10.1 Cancellation Guarantee One ques�on I receive regularly is, “What if I need to cancel my lis�ng?” No problem! Just give me 24 hours. I
have heard many complaints about agents refusing to cancel lis�ngs or charging exorbitant fees prior to
releasing the lis�ng. Perhaps you have heard stories as well. I guarantee to cancel your lis�ng at any �me,
prior to accep�ng an offer to purchase your home, if you feel I have not done my job as outlined in the lis�ng
agreement, or if your circumstances change. I want you to work with me because I have earned your trust,
respect and business—not because you are contractually obligated to work with me!
I want and encourage an open line of communica�on. If I do not meet your expecta�ons please tell me! I
need to know your preferences and opinions and appreciate the opportunity to discuss any frustra�ons you
experience. I am confident I will meet, or exceed, all of your expecta�ons. However, if you are unhappy with
my services and we are unable to work out the differences, I will respecUully cancel your lis�ng.
I realize life is full of unexpected events that could cause you to want to stay in your home. Or perhaps you’ll
decide you want to u�lize your home as a rental. If something comes up and you prefer to cancel your lis�ng,
I will certainly accommodate your request and you will not be required to pay any cancella�on fees. I
appreciate your business and hope that if you choose to list your home in the future, or if you have friends or
family who could benefit from my services, you will call me again.
10.2 I am a REALTOR® I am a members of the Na�onal Associa�on of Realtors® (NAR), which is the largest
professional organiza�on in the United States. All real estate licensees are not the
same; only real estate licensees who are members of the NAR are properly called

declining market. We are very impressed with you and your team, from the lender to home inspector and
even your color coordinator and window washer. At a �me when honesty and trust is not always easy to
come by, we wanted you to know how much we appreciate what you have done for us. We are so happy we
put our trust in you because we would not be in our dream home on a lake today without you! Thank you for
all of your help in making our real estate dreams come true!
~Ted and Debbie
Jessie is an amazing Realtor. We knew we would be well taken care of from Jessie’s high level of
professionalism at our first mee�ng. Jessie was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and thorough. Jessie’s
ability to effec�vely communicate and personable demeanor made both selling our home and purchasing a
new one a fun, pleasant experience. Jessie handled the most stressful events in our life with ease and care
and looked out for our best interest throughout our transac�ons. We were amazed that she was always on
the go and available, making sure we were being well taken care of. We appreciated the endless amount of
resources Jessie provided. We can only hope to work with Jessie again in the future. She is the only real
estate agent in the greater Sea<le area that we entrust with our family and friends.
~Steve and Nicole
Overall, Jessie provided a smooth and enjoyable home-selling experience. Her love of real estate was
consistently demonstrated in her knowledge of the market, her a<en�on to detail throughout the
transac�on, and her commitment in making sure my needs were met and addressed at all �mes. I will
absolutely hire Jessie to represent me in all of my future real estate transac�ons.
~Skippy
We were impressed with Jessie’s knowledge of the real estate market and her professionalism. We asked Jes-
sie to become our real estate representa�ve. In less than a few months she sold our condo and helped us
with the purchase of our new home. Jessie is a skillful adver�ser, friendly, enthusias�c and responsive. We
are now very happy to be living in “The Meadows.” Thank you Jessie!
~ Salvador and RoseMarie
Jessie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond what she needed to do. I had unsuccessful
rela�onships with a few real estate agents before finding Jessie and now I can say that I found a real estate
agent for life!
~Nick
Jessie was great to work with and always quick to respond if we had a ques�on or wanted to look at a house.
She even went above and beyond a/er we closed to make sure that our house was perfect for moving in.
We enjoyed working with Jessie because she is very vested in puAng her clients in a house that is exactly what
they want and also a good investment for their future.
This was my first experience buying a house. I know that when I go to sell it and buy a different house, I would
be happy to work with Jessie again.
~Deb
Right from the start, we found Jessie to be easy to talk to and knowledgeable of the market and area. We
have never met a real estate agent who is such a hard worker! We found that during the transac�on process,
as always, in real estate, poten�al problems would arise, but Jessie quickly and professionally found a
solu�on. She was only a phone call away from calming the emergency at hand. We would not hesitate in
recommending Jessie to anyone who has real estate needs. We appreciate her hard work and are thankful for
everything she did for us.
~Don & Sally
Jessie is highly professional, yet friendly and appropriate in her work and we were very sa�sfied with her
services. Jessie understood and was very responsive to our needs. She is a good listener, addressed our
concerns and was almost immediately available to us. This was very important to us because we did not live
locally. We were pleased as Jessie was Johnny-on-the-Spot and we received same day answers! We never
doubted that Jessie knew the market. Whenever a problem arose, she quickly provided a solu�on. End of
problem!
Jessie is enthusias�c about her role as a realtor and seems to really enjoy helping her client. It felt to us as
though Jessie wanted much more than the commission, she really wanted us to be happy. We would highly
recommend Jessie to anyone who needs a realtor.
~Doug & Bonnie
Jessie was there for me. She offered professional wisdom and was caring as she pointed me in the right
direc�on toward the sale of my house and the purchase of another. I appreciate that Jessie was respecDul of
my circumstances as she led me through both processes, and all the paperwork! I certainly would/will call on
Jessie again. I know my family will be in contact with Jessie, if their needs arise. Her exper�se proved itself to
the family and I am thankful for everything Jessie did for me.

Helpful �ps for showing your home:

• Put away items in the yard like garden tools, bicycles and toys
