MARKETING PROPOSAL



“For Your Home”



Presented by:

Date: ___________


PURPOSE

The purpose of this proposal is to outline the marketing approach for your home.

INTRODUCTION

A 1992 Professional consumer survey asked what “turned off” buyers. The results showed that 70 % of potential buyers were “turned-off” by selling tactics and attitude of the Listing Agent. Price was an issue in less than 50% of the cases. The same people, when asked what they wanted most from a real estate agent indicated the following:
  • Keep the best interest of the customer in mind: respect both the interests of the buyers and the sellers;
  • Keep the customers informed: provide consistent communication and service;
  • Be knowledgeable, help people make the best decisions; and
  • Be professional;


MARKETING PLAN

Henry Ford said, “Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success.”


There are only two reasons for homes not to sell … Price and Market Exposure.


Pricing

Seller and the Listing agent will as mutually agree upon the listing price. At present, I would recommend maintaining the listing price of (to be determined). If after 30 days, based on either a lack of showings, buyer feedback or offers that indicate the price should be adjusted, we can do so at that time.

Advertising

The Real Estate Book
     • Every month, beginning with the Next issue.

Homes & Land of Lancaster County
• Every other month, beginning as the Next issue.

The Real Estate Weekly
• Approximately 4 – 6 times per year, the listing agent will purchase a separate full-page ad. 1/8th of that page will be dedicated to your home.

Marketing


Signage
    • A “For Sale” sign will be placed on your property.
    • An information box, with a brief property description will be placed on your property.

Open Houses: ONLY WITH SELLER'S APPROVAL.
     If needed, Sunday open houses will be used to generate buyers. The number and timing will be determined after the first 30 days of marketing. In all cases, the times and dates will be as agreed to, by you, in advance. At a minimum, I will have an Open House every 4-5 weeks. The first Open House can be held within two weeks of the actual listing.

Internet
     Your home, with photo, will be listed on at least four separate Internet web sites. www.RealEstateBook.com, www.e-billr.com and www.realtor.com
