Why Windermere?
Why Windermere?
It's about relationships.
In 1972, John Jacobi set out to change the real estate industry by putting relationships before sales quotas, with an emphasis on service to our clients and our community. Over 50 years, this mission has helped grow Windermere into one of the largest independent real estate companies in the nation, with more than 300 offices and more than 6,000 agents throughout the Western U.S. and Mexico.
While the real estate industry has changed substantially over the years, our core values of relationships, community, collaboration, and professionalism have remained central to how we do business, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Guiding You Through
The Inspection
Home inspections are a critical part of the home buying and selling process.
Inspections take the mystery out of selling your home and may make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there. By making repairs and disclosing the home’s condition to a prospective buyer before negotiations begin, you can create an atmosphere of good faith and instill confidence about your home's condition. This, in turn, may help sell your home faster and at a higher price.
A home inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight into the condition of the home, thereby helping to reduce the overall listing time of your property.

Photography
The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” There is a reason that some adages become old … because they are so true.
The share of home buyers who used the Internet to search for a home remained at 100% for the second year. Of those viewers, 81 percent found listing photos to be very useful, 77 percent valued detailed property information, and 57 percent appreciated floor plans.*
In order to make the best first impression, we display only professional photography that will appeal to as many buyers as possible.
Professional photographers have the lighting, equipment, and know-how to showcase your home’s most flattering aspects.
This helps your home stand out from the competition, increasing buyer interest and potentially your final sales price.

Market Preparation Guide
Market Preparation Guide
Properly preparing your home for sale is one of the best ways to make a favorable impression that will help it sell more quickly and for the best price. I can help you stage your home or refer you to an accredited staging professional. But there are a lot of things you can do yourself, both before and during showings, to improve its appeal.
Before Showings
❱ Turn on all interior lights, even during the day, and exterior lights at night.
❱ Make the temperature comfortable—approximately 68 degrees.
❱ Keep pets in a separate area, and change litter boxes daily.
❱ Put money and other valuables out of sight.
❱ Keep curtains, drapes and shades open.
❱ Open all doors inside the home, except closets.
During Showings
❱ A buyer will likely spend more time previewing your home if you’re not there.
❱ If you can’t leave the home, try to stay out of the way, and keep children quiet and out of the way.
❱ Don’t precede or follow potential buyers through your home.
❱ Let the sales associate show and sell your home.
Here’s a checklist to help you identify areas in your home that may need improvement in order to make the best impression on potential buyers.



Through the Windermere Ready program, we can front your home improvement costs and provide concierge services to make your home more competitive on the market. From decluttering and deep cleaning to major repairs or replacements, together we’ll set your home up for selling success.*
A small upfront investment can yield a big payoff when selling your home. To help with that process, Windermere Ready provides a loan to cover the costs of things like painting, landscaping, cleaning, and staging. You’ll receive the funds quickly and pay nothing until your home sells.
I will work with you to determine which improvements will have the biggest impact at market. You can choose your own service providers, or I can connect you with experienced local contractors.

Pricing Your Property
Pricing Your Property
The market value of your home is what buyers are willing to pay in today’s market conditions. My job is to help you set the right price from the start, and to position your property so it stands out in the market.
Dangers of Pricing Above Market Value:
❱ True target buyers may not see your property because it’s listed out of their price range.
❱ Buyers in the higher price point may compare your home to other homes at that price and consider it a bad value.
❱ It may sit on the market longer and sell for less than asking price. MLS statistics show that the longer a home is on the market, the lower the sales price.

Here's how i will price and position your property for the highest return:
❱ Analyze current market conditions and sales prices of comparable properties.
❱ Discuss your goals and needs.
❱ Advise you about ways to make your property more attractive to buyers.
❱ Create a comprehensive marketing plan targeting the most likely buyers.
❱ Market your property to other agents, and get their feedback on its price and presentation.
❱ Keep you up-to-date on sales activity and market conditions.
