15. Home Service Contracts
Home service contracts go a long way to alleviate
some risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can
provide to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified
heating, plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance
breakdowns. Coverage under most plans commences at
closing. In all cases, there are important limitations and
exclusions (example: appliances/systems must be operative
at commencement of coverage).

WEEKS ON MARKET
• Timing is extremely important in the real estate market.
• A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and
potential buyers when it is first listed.
• It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market.

17. Preparing For The Offer
In slow economic times, offers to purchase routinely come in “low” whereas
in healthy economic times, offers are closer to the asking price. Do not be
offended by any offer received. Be offended by buyers who tour your
property and don’t submit an offer.
• ACCEPTANCE. Signed by all parties, dated, delivered… congratulations, you’re
on your way to having your property sold!
• REJECTION. Unconditional… unfortunately, your home is still on the market.
• COUNTER OFFER. Any change to the contract
constitutes a counter offer. You are now in the
renegotiation stage.
• NO ACTION. Equals rejection. Your home is
still on the market.

18. Inspections
Inspections and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close.
Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the
property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and
structural inspections.

19. Pricing Factors
IMPORTANCE OF INTELLIGENT PRICING
+15% 10%
ASKING +10% 30% PERCENTAGE
PRICE OF BUYERS
Market Value 60%
-10% 75%
-15% 90%
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.

20. Pricing Misconceptions
It is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the
signing of the listing agreement. Historically, your first offer is usually your
best offer.

Buyers & 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 property SOLD in your area.

21. Competitive Market Analysis
• Recent Sales
• Current Listings = Competition
• Expired Listings = What has not sold
