10. 14-Step Marketing Plan
I will:
1. Price your home strategically so you’re competitive with the current market and current price trends.
2. Stage your home to cast a positive light on the features most important to buyers: uncluttered rooms and
closets, fresh paint, and terrific curb appeal.
3. Place “for sale” signage, complete with property fliers easily accessible to drive-by prospects.
4. Use an interactive voice response (IVR) system to provide free recorded information about your home 24
hours a day, seven days a week. Each caller’s inquiry will be followed up with a personal phone call.
5. Distribute “just listed” notices to neighbors, encouraging them to tell family and friends about your home.
6. Optimize your home's internet presence by posting information in the Keller Williams Listing System
(KWLS), as well as in local and global MLS systems, including plenty of photographs and a description of
your property.
7. Produce a 360° virtual tour of your home, placing it on multiple Websites to attract both local and out-of-
town buyers.
8. Create a home book, comment cards and fliers to place inside your property.
9. Target my marketing to active real estate agents who specialize in selling homes in your neighborhood.
10.Include your home in our company and MLS tours, allowing other agents to see your home for themselves.
11.Advertise your home in my real estate magazine and neighborhood newsletter as well as in direct mail
campaigns, email campaigns and social media.
12.Create an open house schedule to promote your property to prospective buyers and market those open
houses.
13.Target active buyers and investors in my database who are looking for homes in your price range and area.
14.Provide you with weekly updates detailing my marketing efforts, including comments from the prospective
buyers and agents who have visited your home.
11. A Staged home sells 73% faster
A study of 174 homes previously on the market on average 156 days before the homeowners
gave up trying to sell on their own and called in a professional home stager. Those same
homes were staged, relisted and sold on average in 42 days after staging. This is 73% less
time on the market.
Professionally staged homes present and show better than competing houses for sale,
including new construction homes and higher-priced houses.
• Staged properties will sell faster when compared with houses that have not been staged.
From the date of listing until the day of closing, home staging shortens this time frame,
even in a slow real estate market.
• Staged properties can increase the number of offers and selling price in hot markets.
• Buyers view professionally staged listings as "well-maintained'.
• Buyers' agents recognize that professionally staged listings are "move-in" ready and are
inclined to show staged properties.
• Photos of professionally staged listings look better on the MLS, as well as in print.
• Professionally staged listings "STAND-OUT" in prospective buyers' minds.

13. Price Right – Attracts Buyers
Pricing your property competitively will generate the most activity from agents and buyers.
Pricing your property too high may make it necessary to drop the price below market value to
compete with new, well-priced listings.
14. Pricing Misconceptions
It is very important to price your property at competitive market value when we
finalize the listing agreement.

Buyers and Sellers Determine Value
The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a
seller is willing to accept in today’s market.
Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other
properties SOLD in your area. Historically, your first offer is usually your best.
15. Price Ahead of the Market
In a market with rising home values, if a seller wants a price that’s ahead of the
market, the market may go up enough to make that price attractive for buyers.
Time can cure some mistakes and make people look smart.
16. Ahead of the Market – Buyer’s Market
If sellers fall behind a market with falling home values, they can end up chasing
the market down, because home values are always falling faster than their price
reductions.
17. Price Right—Time on Market Works Against You
If you want to compete, be competitive.
• The buying market has a short attention span.
• Pricing your home right the first time is key.
• Proper pricing attracts buyers.
• An overpriced house will not sell.
• We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings.
18. Sells—Right Price, Great Condition
To get your home sold for the most money in the least amount of
time, we have to price it “in the market.”
19. Price Competitively—The First 30 Days are
Critical
The right price is important.
• A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market.
• The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value.
• Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generate
strong activity.
• Many homes that start high end up selling below market value.
