& KLEIN

Welcome to Parker & Klein Real Estate!We are so pleased you contacted us about selling your home. This informative booklet will help you learn about the process and how we can help as your REALTORS.

These are the five most important things you should know about Parker & Klein Real Estate:

Our marketing plan to sell your home Marketing is an important part of any business, yet many Realtors do nothing more than list your home without a real marketing plan in place. Turn to page 9 to read about our comprehensive marketing plan to sell your home.

Our promise to keep you informed We won’t just list your home and call you when there is an offer. We’ll keep you updated on what’s going on, how much interest there’s been, and what we’re doing to get your home sold. You’ll speak with us at least once a week to discuss the progress of your sale.

Our 24-hour personalized database If you want to know what kind of interest your house is getting, you can find it- any time of day. We have created an online database that details everything you want to know -- how many phone calls we’ve received, how many people came to your open house, how many showings were held, and what feedback we have received.

Our ethics and education We pride ourselves on being the most ethical and trustworthy Realtors in the business. We want you to be happy with the sale of your home, and with the service we provide. Turn to page 19 to read our Realtor Code of Ethics. We also strive to stay on top of marketing and technology trends by attending classes, seminars, and online training each year.

We want to be your Realtors for Life Our relationship doesn’t end the day of your closing. We work to maintain relationships with our clients, and offer educational get-togethers throughout the year. We’ll also be here for you to answer your questions and take your referrals. We are confident that the next time you need to buy or sell a home, you’ll call your “Realtor for Life.” There is a lot of information in this booklet to help you get started, but here is what you can expect as we work together:

• We’ll meet to review and discuss your questions. Then we will confirm that we will be working together to sell your home.

• After I have supplied you with a comparative market analysis, absorbtion rate and other important data, we will work together on appropriate pricing for your home.

• Finally, we’ll discuss what you can do to your home to help it sell quickly and at the price you want.

Thank you for the opportunity to share our expertise with you.

We look forward to working with you!

SECTION 1Before you select your Realtor, here are some questions to help you choose the right Realtor for your needs:

• How long have you been selling residential real estate? Is this your full-time job?

• What certifications and designations do you have? • How many days does it take you to sell your homes vs. the

overall market average? • On average, how close to the list price do your homes sell? • What marketing strategies will you use to sell my home?

How will you keep me updated about the progress of the sale of my home? How often will you update me, and by what means?

• How often do you represent both the buyer and seller in the same transaction?

• What is your business philosophy? These questions are essential to choosing a Realtor who will work to sell your home fairly, and with your full trust.

The Parker & Klein Real DifferenceOUR MISSION STATEMENT

Our Mission is to live the philosophy of “Realtor for Life,” to deliver it with care and respect for our clients; and to achieve results beyond the ordinary while maintaining a personal and professional balance in life.

OUR PROMISE: NO DUAL AGENCYPart of our Mission is to be completely fair to our buyers and sellers. One of the biggest ways we are different from other Realtors is that we strive not to have the same agent represent both the buyer and seller in the same transaction.

Legally, one agent can represent both the seller and the buyer -- it’s called being a dual agent. Both parties deserve an independent agent who will look out for their best interests. That’s why we feel so strongly about not offering dual agency with one agent. If one of my buyer clients is interested in making an offer on the home I’m selling for you, I will refer that client to another agent. This ensures I have only your best interests in mind.

PRICING YOUR HOMEPricing is one of the most important decisions you will make concerning the sale of your home. Proper pricing can mean an easy, smooth sale, while pricing too high can deter potential buyers and drag out the process. I’ll make sure you have all the information you need to set the right price. When pricing your home, consider these factors:

Wasting Time When you price your home too high, you waste valuable time on the market and require several price reductions to reach the appropriate price. You can waste up to five months on the market if your home is priced too high.

Helping the Right Buyers See ItIf you price your home higher than its value, the buyers who want and can afford your home won’t see it. The buyers in the higher price point will want more home and upgrades for their money, and your house will not be able to compete.

How will you know if your home is priced appropriately? It’s pretty easy to tell:

Market Value

Only getting drive-bys, and no phone calls? Your home is listed at least 12% higher

than it needs to be.

Not getting as many showings as you’d like? Your home is still listed between 6-12% too high. Lots of people looking, nobody buying? Your home is priced around 4-6% higher than it should be.

TOOLS AND CALCULATIONS TO PRICE YOUR HOME

Absorption Rate Absorption rate is the number of months it takes

to sell the current inventory based on the present rate of sales. We’ll help you figure this out because it’s

an important tool in pricing your home correctly. For example, if there are 24 homes in your area that have sold in the last year, the absorption rate is 2 sales per month. The market can only support two sales each month throughout the year, providing no other listings come on the market.

Comparative Market AnalysisWe’ll review the other homes in your area, analyzing what’s recently sold and what’s on the market. We’ll figure out an average “price per square foot” based on comparing what your home has to offer against other homes for sale or recently sold near you.

To Neighbors on Westgate Terrace Court

RE: Listing for 307 Westgate Terrace Court

The owner at 307 Westgate Terrace Court has contracted with

me to market and sell their home. They regret leaving the area but

look forward to their new home.

There will be an open house this Sunday, January 24, 2010 and I

encourage you to stop by to take a look at the inside. You are prob-

ably curious about the interior of the homes surrounding yours and

the open house will offer you the opportunity to see how well kept

and updated this one is. My hopes are that you have a friend or

relative who would like to live in the area and could bring them with

you. If you cannot make the open house but have questions don’t

hesitate to call.

If you are thinking about making a move, please allow me to share

my knowledge about the local market including detailed statistics

for St. Matthews area regarding absorption rate and demographic

data. I will explain to you my “Systemized Process to Guaranteed

Success.” Time has proven that if we follow certain systems,

listen/respond to the market, and work together as a team, you

will be moving when you ant and will obtain a price you are pleased

with. Call me at 345.8952 to set up an appointment.

Sincerely,

Broker-Owner

TIPS TO HELP YOU SELLFirst, here are some easy (and free or low-cost) ways to make your home more appealing to buyers:

Clean your house. Having it professionally cleaned is a good idea, but you can scrub your house from top to bottom to make it sparkle for buyers. Thoroughly clean all appliances, switch plates and baseboards throughout the house. Clean all of your floors and steam-clean carpets. Don’t forget to wash your windows.

Clear out clutter. Make sure buyers can really see your home. Clean out closets and the garage. Make sure all toys and tools are stored neatly and out of sight. Clear out mail, newspapers, magazines, and personal items you have laying around. You may need to rent a POD (or other storage unit) or store items off-site.

Get rid of smells. Don’t overpower your home with candles, plug-ins or other fragrances. A good cleaning and some open windows will do the trick and show you are not trying to mask any lurking odors. Clean rugs and carpets, curtains, furniture, and any other materials that may hold odors from pets, food, or smoke.

Update your lighting. Replace all your light bulbs with bright, high-wattage bulbs for a clean look to your rooms, especially in basements or other dark areas. Make sure all of your light fixtures are working.

Fix the small things. Repair doors that stick or squeak, replace any screens with holes, replace caulking, and fix a leaky faucet.

Do yard work. A well-kept yard makes the whole house look better, so make sure your grass is cut, leaves are raked, bushes are trimmed, and walkways are neatly edged. A few pots or baskets of flowers can brighten up your exterior.

Clean up your home’s exterior. Make sure gutters are empty and your driveway is free of holes and weeds. Clean off any dirty siding or cobwebs on the front of your home, and polish your doorknob and house numbers.

Make sure valuables are locked up. It’s important to keep jewelry, money, prescription drugs and other valuables securely stored.

Pets. Board your pets or take them with you.

“You did a fantastic job helping us through

every step, from staging

to signing the papers.

Thank you!”{ }

WILLING TO SPEND A LITTLE MONEY FOR A WHOLE NEW LOOK?Try these low-cost decorating ideas:

• Make your driveway look like new with a fresh coating of asphalt.

• Buy a bright doormat, and a nice light fixture for the front of your house. A new mailbox and a shiny doorknob also help make a good first impression.

• Freshen your living room and bedrooms with light, sheer curtains and new pillows.

• Set your table, and add a pretty centerpiece, fresh fruit in a bowl, or a vase of flowers.

• Brighten bathrooms with new towels hanging on the racks.

There are several things you can do to help a good offer come through the door a little faster.

• Consider the fact that you may need to lower that price if your home hasn’t had an offer within 30 days.

• Get your home ready for showings with the tips we shared.• Make your home available for showings. It may be an

inconvenience to have a last-minute showing, but it’s worth the effort if it sells your house.

MOVING TIPSContact the post office. Make sure they have your forwarding address at least one week before you are scheduled to move.

Contact companies and friends who need your address. Give your new address to your bank, credit card companies, magazine subscriptions, friends, relatives, and business associates.

Schedule utility changes. Contact the utility companies (water, gas, electric, cable, phone, trash) to have utilities disconnected. Make sure you set up service at your new address for the day you move out.

Arrange for movers. Schedule the date and let them know how much they’ll be moving. Make sure you know how they charge -- by hour, by weight, etc.-- and that you are prepared for the expense. If you are taking your appliances with you, make sure they are cleaned out and ready to be moved. Also ask your movers about insurance -- you may need to contact your insurance company about additional insurance.

Know how to get out of your building. If you’re moving out of a condo, ask the association about which elevators and exits you are allowed to use to move your belongings.

Pack a box of essentials. Create one box packed full of things you’ll need right away, like toilet paper, toiletries, trash bags, scissors, hammer and screwdriver, pencil and paper, cups and plates, water, and snacks.

Prepare for your new town. If you’re relocating to a new town, get all your records from schools, doctors, dentists, and vets. Prepare for safe transportation of your pets. Contact friends and relatives with your route and arrival date. Ask friends in your new area for help with new contacts.

I hope the experience of selling your home will be easy and effortless, and that my services will exceed your expectations. If you are happy with my services, the best way to show it is to refer your friends and family when they are looking for a Realtor. We’ll stay in touch and I’ll send you invites to Parker&Klein events and keep you updated on news about the real estate market. I know that you will be very happy in your new home, and that after working with me, I’ll be your “Realtor for Life.”
