| 1. |  | A RealtorŪ can help you save time!
Are you prepared to be available whenever a prospective buyer wants to see the house? Are you ready to spend a full weekend staging an open house and waiting around for the buyers to arrive? How much is your valuable time worth?
When you list your home with Jonathan, with your permission he'll install a lockbox that will allow real estate professionals to show your home when you're not there. If you don't install a lockbox, I will make myself available to show your home when you can't be there. And you don't want to be there; sells often are lost by a homeowner innocently saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Also, if it's feasible, I will stage a professional open house for you while you're off shopping, seeing a movie or simply enjoying the beautiful Arizona weather.

| 2. | | A RealtorŪ can help you realize a larger profit on your sale!
What price is the right price for your home? Set a price too high above the market and many qualified buyers will never see your home. Set a price too low and you're leaving money on the table. I will develop a competitive market analysis for you that will help you decide on the right price to sell your home for the maximum number of dollars in the minimum amount of time. Quite often, you will get more for your home even after my fee for service than you otherwise might have received!

| 3. | | Successfully selling a home goes well beyond installing a sign in your front yard.
How many of the steps involved in a home sale are you familiar with? A home sale can fall apart at multiple stages of the selling process. The appraisal comes in lower than the price to which the seller and buyer agree. The buyer and seller can't agree on the repairs that need to be made. The buyers' oan funding doesn't come through. While I can't guarantee every transaction will take place, I can and will call upon my experience to make sure you know what could happen and then do everything I can to keep the purchase on track.

| 4. | | A RealtorŪ knows the current resale market in your neighborhood.
Your neighbor down the street just sold their house and you're basing your price off that sale. But does your home match up with theirs? Maybe you have granite counter tops where they have formica. Maybe you have saltillo tile throughout while they have basic carpet. Maybe you have a pool and they don't. All of these factors can impact the market value of your home.
Homes placed on the market see their greatest activity in the first two to three weeks. Don't guess wrong and miss the window or, worse yet, don't leave money on the table, because you incorrectly priced your home. Let me professionally sell your home for you at the highest price the market will bear.

| 5. | | A RealtorŪ can assist you with the piles of paperwork needed for a home sale.
Purchase contracts. Counter-offers. Home inspection reports. Termite inspections. Appraisals. Buyers' inspection requests. Seller response. The Sellers' Property Disclosure Statement. Get the idea? Let me guide you through the flurry of paperwork involved and make the sale of your home as stress-free as possible!

| 6. | | A RealtorŪ can help you work with buyers using a real estate professional.
Most buyers employ a real estate professional not only to guide them through the process but also to call upon their experience and knowledge and negotiate on their behalf. Would you go to court without consulting a legal professional? Unless you're very experienced in the home sales process, don't enter into such negotiations without a professional representing you. I will put my experience and knowledge to work getting you the highest amount the market will bear for your home in the minimum amount of time possible.
