Marketing Program 

Specific marketing activities to sell your home begin the moment you sign the Listing Agreement. From installing the “For Sale” sign to Internet marketing, I am constantly working to sell your home. My proven marketing plan is designed to expose your home to as many potential purchasers as possible - making them aware of the key selling features and benefits of YOUR home.

In order to receive top dollar, you need top exposure. My proven marketing plan provides you with that top exposure.  This includes:

·       An invaluable “Seller’s Guide” to give you and your home a distinct advantage

• Listing your home on the Multiple Listing Service
• Internet exposure across the Web
• E-cards and flyers to potential purchasers
• Installation of a “For Sale” sign (Is Required) unless forbidden by HOA
• A custom property profile flyer
• Installation of a lock box Supra and Combo (Is Required)
• National relocation exposure
• Office Tours - agents from my office stop by to preview your home
•  “Just Listed” cards sent to neighbors and prospective purchasers
• Public Open House events – exposing your home to potential buyers
• Telemarketing to neighbors and potential prospects
• Written status reports-weekly or if you prefer weekly calls, you decide.
• Verbal feedback provided from showings
• Email feedback from agents and guests visiting your home
• Print advertising and Internet advertising 

I am excited about the prospect of working for you!

Pricing Your Property

Determining price is one of the most critical steps in preparing your home for sale. A well priced home often sells quickly once it is put on the market.

When your home is priced right from the outset, you maximize your opportunity of reaching the most qualified buyers and obtaining top dollar.

• Pricing your home correctly:
  • Can save you thousands of dollars on your family’s largest investment
  • Reduces risk because overpriced homes may eliminate some buyers if it is out of their price range
  • Ensures that other agents will show the home
  • Is good when it comes time to appraise.  Your home must appraise at the selling price for the buyer to get financing

When I see your home and prepare a more complete and thorough market evaluation, I will use my knowledge of recent home sales and your neighborhood to help you price your home correctly.

Tips For Preparing Your Home For Sale 

·       Tidy up the grounds, porches and garage. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged. Make sure that your yard is clean. First impressions count!

• Your front door adds to that first impression - be sure it is scrubbed or repainted if necessary.
• Wash windows and clean/dust window coverings.
• If any decorating or painting is needed (especially in the kitchen), do it now!  Twenty dollars worth of paint will make a much larger difference in the sales price.

• Bathrooms help sell homes. Make this room sparkle.
• Illumination is like a welcome sign. Replace bulbs and turn on the lights.
• Wash dishes, make beds, put away clothes and straighten up.
• Keep pets out of the way during showings – many people are allergic.
• Leave the showing to the salesperson. The salesperson knows the buyer’s requirements and can best emphasize the features of your home. If possible, leave the house during a showing.
• Don’t discuss anything about the sale with a potential customer. Let your agent discuss price, terms, possession and other items concerning the sale. Your agent is qualified to bring negotiations to a favorable conclusion. (Refer Person asking Questions to Me Your Realtor).
• Never apologize for appearance, it either distracts or accentuates the problem.
• Pack away valuables; store extra furniture, knick-knacks, guns and medicines.

Look at your home objectively. Pretend you are seeing it for the first time, through a buyer’s eyes. Call or email me for recommendations on how to stage the property for presentation to prospective buyers. That is part of my expertise. I will be happy to walk through your home with you and help you “set the stage.”

Remember, my goal is to help you sell your home for the most amount of money, in the shortest period of time, with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

We only have one chance to make that good first impression!

Some recent compliments

“Ruby, I know you told me that a Commercial Building is a more complicated deal than a Real Estate Deal or selling a Home.  We believed you and Yes it has Its UPS and DOWNS, but with your negotiating skills, YOU were able to GET It DONE”.

Hector C.  “2007”

“Ruby you helped us purchase our home in 2000 and you were the best! We were able to buy our home with $500.00 Only.  Now eight (8) years later, you helped us sell that home! Thanks for keeping in touch with us – we felt like we became part of your family!  You are the greatest and we will continue to use your services and recommend everyone we Know”

Billy B. “2007”

Ruby is very energetic and worked very hard to get my home sold quickly-- even in this tough market.  I was impressed with the number of open houses that she scheduled, as well as the advice that she gave me all along the way.  I would definitely refer her to anyone buying or selling a home!
