3. About RE/MAX 1973, Dave Liniger was fairly fresh out of the U.S. Air Force and not too far removed from his rural Indiana boyhood. He had found his niche selling real estate, energized by the gratitude he received from the families he helped. But as he learned more about his profession, he realized, "There's a better way to do this." Unable to find an office ready for his ideas, he started RE/MAX as a one-agent office in Denver. His dream was pretty big: Create a real estate organization that any buyer or seller could approach anywhere in the world knowing that only experienced, career-minded professionals worked there. No part-timers. No dabblers. No wheeler-dealers. The concept, strikingly simple in hindsight, caught on; and the competition never caught up. RE/MAX grew from 21 agents in 1973 to more than 100,000 by 2004. Today, the RE/MAX Balloon stands for trustworthy, results-oriented real estate sales help in more than 70 countries. RE/MAX Sales Associates help more families buy and sell real estate every year than any other brokerage organization in the world. And this Web site, the first of its kind to display all of the listings in thousands of cities and towns, sets the pace for the industry. And Liniger? He's still in charge. And he inspires everybody in the organization to keep thinking, "There's a better way to do this."

57. From a Past Client Dear Mr. Dowell, My wife and I have thought about our real estate decision last night. After reviewing the information we received from interviewing real estate agents, we feel that your marketing will reach more potential buyers. We compared marketing programs and marketing program truly blows away the competition. We did 3 searches on Google and found a reference to your website over 30 times within the first 10 pages on all three searches. In fact your website was found 4 times within the first 2 pages. We are excited to get started. Mike Welborne
58. From a Past Client Chris, We appreciate the presentation last week. The other agents we interviewed did exactly what you said and really didn’t have a online presence near like yours nor a way to monitor their marketing. Our listing just expired with the largest broker in town and we don’t want to go down that road again. We have completed the things you suggested and are ready to list our home with you. Cameron King

85. How Soon Do You Want To Sell Your Home? As the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value. If you price your property at market value, you are exposing it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your opportunity for a sale. +15% +10% Market Value -10% -15% 10% 30% 60% 75% 90% PERCENTAGE OF BUYERS ASKING PRICE IMPORTANCE OF INTELLIGENT PRICING
86. Activity Vs. Timing Timing is extremely important in the real estate market. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed. Therefore, it has the highest chance of a sale when it is new on the market. This graph illustrates the importance of placing your property on the market at a realistic price and terms from the very beginning. Don’t set the price of your home too high, thinking you can reduce it later. As indicated by the chart above, interest peaks when your home is new on the market. TIME ON MARKET (WEEKS) ACTIVITY
87.
88. Facts That Don’t Affect the Value of Your Property Your Agent will be the reason your home sells! The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay in today’s market based on comparing your property to others SOLD in your area. Buyers ALWAYS Determine Value!
89. Where do you want your home priced? Homes available from lowest price to highest price. Do you think we’ll make the cut?
