3. About Us
Pat is a Georgia native. His father grew up in South Gerogia, where his
family is deep rooted and many of his realitves still reside. His cousins
still live in an antibellum home that was set ablaze by General William
T. Sherman on his March to the Sea. This home, built in the 1700’s,
still stands as a historical Gerogia Landmark.
Michelle grew up in rural Ohio surrounded by agricultural farms. She
relocated to Georgia in 1989 and knew right away Georgia felt like
home.
We got married in 1992, started a family in 1998 and settled into a
real estate career in 1997 which led to the launch of The Jones Realty
Group in 2001. We are a husband and wife team who are dedicated to
helping buyers and sellers successfully navigate and outperform the
real estate market. We are still connected to the area by our farm in
Jenkins County where we enjoy outdoor activities with our friends
and family that include hunting, skeet shooting, four wheeling, wood
carving and just being outdoors in the country. We understand the
importance of educating buyers on how land can be a profitable and
enjoyable investment.

“As I sit looking at my new home, I am so thankful for everything you did
to arrange to make all my waiting come to a good end, so quickly! I feel
like this home is where I belong, and am going to enjoy each day- wake
up each morning thankful for your part in making this move possible!”
-GLORIA CRANE
“I can, and have referred several friends to Pat and Michelle for handling
their real estate needs and they have been highly satisfied as well as I
was. They were able to get my home sold in a down market at my asking
price in Nov-Dec., a time of year when people are not house hunting.
Through their diligence I had a binding contract in 3 weeks. Their pro-
fessionalism, knowledge and responsiveness can not be beat. They were
responsive to my inquiries and always kept me updated every step of the
way and were personally interested in working for me.
She also guided me in the purchase of my new home, negotiating and
working to get me the best deal possible in a very timely manner. They
really care about their clients. Should the need arise, I will call on them
again.”
-BARBARA GARRISON
“Thank you for taking this journey with us. We appreciate
your patience and advice. You guys are awesome! You have
our continued business and referrals.”
-PRINCETON & SHAQUANA PORTER
“More than 8 years ago, when I asked people to help me to
find a Realtor, their names were brought up. So I decided to
pick them which has been the right decision ever since. My
mother in law, my sister in law and my friends have all used
them and loved them too. 8 years later, their name is still in
my head... I called them up again to sell a house. they have
been VERY HELPFUL. You will love their work ethic and
attitudes. They’re also very honest. You won’t regret it if you
pick them.”
-SARAH OWEN
“As first time home buyers, Pat and Michelle made the experience
fun, painless, and an overall great expereince. From the first we
met to closing, the whole process was seamless all thanks to their
professionalism, timeliness, and transparency. They explained
each step clearly and kept us well-informed all while encouring us
to make the best decision for us.”

7. Client Raves
“I wanted to thank you both for all the hard work that you did to
get me into my new home and to sell my former home. I have used
many real estate agents in my years but I have never experienced
such a smooth transaction as I did working with you. You are an
extremely organized and knowledgeable team and an asset to your
profession. Not only did you do what was required of you as an
agents, you went above and beyond.
I will never forget when you came to my former home the evening
before the closing and helped me dig dirt in my yard until 10:00 P.M.
to rectify mistakes made by the termite company. I would highly
recommend you to family, friends and business acquaintances. I am
certain you will provide the same exemplary service that you have
provided for me.”
“I would like to take this time to thank you for your commitment
and dedicaton to helping my friends sell their homes. It is such
a pleasure to refer family, friends and associates to you for their
estate needs, especially when I know they will receive hands on,
personal attention. I also apreciate the special gifts, such as holiday
goody bags, pumpkin bread, and calendars. I think these personal
touches represent not only excellent sales and marketing tools, but
more importantly attest to your attention to detail and individualized
care for your clients.”

I whole-heartedly recommend Pat and Michelle to you as your
Realtors. Prior to them listing our home in Grayson, it had been
listed with another realtor for 160 days with no results. After that
we contacted The Jones’s on the recommendation of a neighbor.
They came to our home, made a professional presentation, and
took a genuine interest in what we needed. The day we were
leaving on vacation we signed the listing agreement. By the time
we reached our vacation destination the same day, Michelle had
faxed a purchasee offer. This buyer purchased our home and
closed in 45 days. I would certainly call upon Pat and Michelle
again.”

8. How Property Sells
UNDERSTANDING HOW BUYERS EVALUATE PROPERTY
The marketing done to promote your land will have only one purpose - to
increase awareness among potential buyers leading to in-person showings.
Once buyers reach your property, the job of marketing is over.
Your property must now compete with others in two areas;
Potential Use and Price.
If your land has more features or potential for income that appeals to buyers
(for example agrcultural farming or timber value) your property will stand out
as the better value.
Conversely, if your property lacks the features that potential buyers desire
(large percentage is considered wet lands) your only option is to compete on
price.
To be effective, your property should stand out as one of the top two to
three best values in your immediate market place.
9. Price
PRICING YOUR PROPERTY FOR A SUCCESSFUL SALE
Your land needs to be priced competitively to sell.
We will help you determine pricing so that you are
competitive with the current market and current price
trends.
No amount of marketing can sell an overpriced tract
of land.
Many sellers are tempted to list their property with the
agent who quotes the highest price.
Please keep in mind, the agent doesn’t set the price,
the seller doesn’t set the price - the market will set the
price, or value, for your property.
Factors that Influence Market Value
• Supply & Demand
• Economic Conditions
• Asking & Selling Prices of Competing Properties
• Your Properties Condition & Potential Uses
Factors with Little or No Influence on Market Value
• The Price the Seller Paid for the Property
• The Seller’s Expected Net Proceeds
• The Amount Spent on Minor Improvements
10. Price
PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL
The most effective method of pricing your land is to have a professional
appraisal.
Benefits of having a professional appraisal:
• You receive an unbiased, third party opinion of the market value of
your property.
• You are positioned to quickly recognize and respond to a market offer.
• You are positioned to effectively challenge a low lender’s
appraisal of your property, maintaining your higher contract price.
A lender will consider a well-known appraisers valuation - they
will not consider an estimate provided by a real estate agent.
A property generates the most
interest when it is first on the
market.The number of showing
is greatest during this time if it is
priced at a realistic market value.
Starting too high and dropping
the price later misses the initial
excitement and fails to generate
strong activity.
11. Condition
IF YOUR PROPERTY INCLUDES A HOME
With the typical agent, you only discover potential deal-killing repairs after you
are already under contract - when the buyer hires a home inspector to scrutinize
every aspect of your home.
With us - We will help you get your home prepped and ready to sell before it goes
on the market. Homes sell because of accurate pricing and beautiful presentation.
We know what it takes to make a terrific first impression that will get your home
and property sold.
Discovering and repairing problems early in the marketing process places
you in control, eliminating the stress of making repairs on the buyer’s schedule.
Having your house in move-in condition also helps you avoid delays to closing
and demonstrates to buyers, agents and the buyer’s home inspector that your
house has been very well maintained. We want buyers to focus on how they
would live in your home - not what they would have to repair.
Additionally, your house will stand out from the competition as a better value
and command a higher price.
We can also recommend trustworthy and professional contractors to address any
repairs that are needed. The extent to which these repairs are made will directly
affect your listing price. You have the ability to command a higher asking price,
and substantiate it, when your home is in top condition.
In a Maritz Research poll, 63%
of buyers responded that they
would pay more for a house
that is move-in ready.
12. Condition
