Where Buyers Come From
While buyers use a variety of information sources to learn about homes for sale in their
target neighborhood, we know that the vast majority will discover your home with the
assistance of a real estate professional and the Internet. That is why Coldwell Banker
Residential Brokerage offers a powerful combination of expert real estate representation
and a dominant Web presence.

Evaluating the Competition
PRODUCT VS. COMMODITY
The traffic previewing your home
during the first 21 days on the market
When the home is first introduced
to the marketplace and we have
created a perception of value, we will
see the heaviest traffic.These buyers
are our best buyers.Why? Because
they are already working with the
broker population, they are typically
seasoned buyers, they have seen all
of the inventory, they may have lost
other homes in multiple bid situations,
and they are typically prepared to step
up to the plate and make an offer. If
the positioning has created a sense of
urgency where more than one buyer
wants the property, they will be asking
the questionS,“What will it take to get
this house?” and “What do I have to do
to take it off market?”
The importance of market positioning
Product
Example: Gardenburger spent 2/3 of its
advertising budget on SuperBowl ad and
created an overnight success
Seller establishes price
Direct relationship to advertising and
marketing of product
Commodity
Example: Have you ever seen an ad for
the sale of gold or IBM stock?
Seller establishes value
No relationship to advertising
After the first week we will begin to see the traffic taper off. These buyers do
not have that same sense of urgency the first wave of buyers had. They are
not as excited, and these buyers are asking the question,“I wonder what this
property is worth.” By the time we enter the third week of marketing, the
showings will have dropped off dramatically. These are buyers just entering
the market and not ready to make decisions—they are not educated, nor
experienced in the process.They have just started their home search adventure.

Setting the Stage for Your Home
The following “staging tips” by award-winning interior designer Lorna Oppenheimer will help your home
look its very best.
• Check the visibility of your house numbers; repaint or polish if necessary
• Create an inviting walkway by adding color with annuals and a new doormat to
brighten your home and welcome buyers
• Open windows every day (if appropriate) to let in fresh air and appeal to buyer’s
sense of smell by creating an inviting feeling by lighting candles or baking
• Sharpen the look of your rooms by paying attention to detail—polish knobs and
handles and replace lights in bathrooms and kitchen as necessary
• Create a focal point in your entryway by adding a picture, lamp or plant
• Remove furniture to make rooms appear larger and allow for a clear traffic pattern
• Unify the accent pieces and details in your home—replace old lampshades,
bedspreads and bath towels and coordinate matching area rugs, pillows and candles
throughout all rooms
• Try to make a child’s room minimally personal and make sure it is safe
• Test your doorbell to be certain it is in good working order
• Move your best pieces of furniture toward the front of each room and your least
attractive pieces toward the back
• Hang all pictures on the low side and hang mirrors across from windows that get a lot
of light or have a view
• Place plants and fresh flowers in rooms to add vibrancy and freshness
• Use big, bright or bold accessories to draw attention to important areas of
the room

Making the Magic Happen
Preparing your home for showings:
• Open drapes and curtains before prospective buyers arrive. Make certain the
temperature is comfortable
• Turn on all lights, especially at night, to highlight your home’s amenities
• Set your dining room table for a decorative appeal
• Keep pets out of the way temporarily unless they are quiet and well behaved
• Playing very soft background music is acceptable, but blaring stereos, radios, televisions
will impede discussions
• Never apologize for the appearance of your home.After all, it’s been lived in. Let your
Coldwell Banker Agent react to comments
• Plan on vacating during showing period. Potential buyers may feel like intruders and
hurry through your home if you are there
