Mr. 8s Mrs. Seller

Priced Right, OH 43210
Dear Jack 8b Diane,
Thank you for considering me to assist you with your upcoming real
estate needs. Selling your home and all the things involved with the transaction
can be very exciting, but many times it is an extremely stressful event.
Homeowners not only have to worry about their home remaining clean
and available to unknown Realtors and buyers on a daily basis but they often
have other important things that they could be doing to ready themselves for
their move. It is also true that most Sellers have a tremendous amount of pride
in their home and want to make certain that the marketing and eventual sale
price are reflective of that pride.
You have made a wise decision to hire a full time Realtor to assist you
with this demanding task. I can assure you that my experience, marketing
ideas and personality will not only help you sell your home in a shorter amount
of time at a higher price but you will have more fun and less stress in the
process.
I will look forward to discussing the opportunity to serve as your Realtor.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at your convenience. Best
of luck with your decision and eventual sale of your home.
Sincerely,
Sean M. Carpenter
Realtor/ Consultant

Jack & Diane,
In order for me to know a little bit more about your upcoming real estate plans, please
take a moment to discuss and answer the following questions. I have found this works best if
you first answer these questions individually and then discuss your answers with each other
before our appointment. Then we will go over your answers together and address any
questions or concerns that you may have. Remember, there are no incorrect answers and
some of these questions will not apply to your specific situation.
1. How long have you been thinking about this move?
2. What prompted you to decide to do what you have been thinking about? Are there any other
reasons?
3. How do you feel about this move?
What are you looking forward to?
What are you not looking forward to?
4. When was the last time you sold a home and moved?
5. What do you feel that a Realtor can do that you cannot do yourself?
6. When do you want to:

just adequately, but exceptionally?

Thinking About Selling?
15 Tips for a Successful Sale
1.
First Impressions Are the Most Lasting ~ What will the prospective buyer see when they arrive at your
home? Your front lawn and other landscaping should be neatly trimmed and mowed. Clean or rake any
leaves or refuse. Sidewalks should be swept (or snow and ice free in the winter). The front door should be
2.
Neutralize for the average buyer - Sure, you love your homes pink walls and flowered wallpaper, but
will the Buyer? It's best to neutralize the colors of your walls and carpeting before the Buyers ever see it.
Why describe how your house could look... when you can show how it looks with just a reasonable amount of
clean and be sure that the doorbell works.
redecoration. A minor investment in paint, wallpaper (or removal of such) and carpeting will pay big
3.
dividends to you in the form of a better price and quicker sale.
5.
Shed a Little Light ~ Open the drapes and curtains for all showings. Turn on lights and lamps for evening
showings. Dark and dreary houses do not appeal to most home-buying prospects.
Don't let a leak "sink" your chances of a sale ~ Fix leaky faucets; dripping water suggests faulty or
worn -out plumbing which could translate to large repair bills. Also clean discolored or rust stained sinks
and tubs.
"It's just a loose hinge" - Don't let the little things distract buyers. Repair loose doorknobs, sticking

your house.
Safety First ~ Keep stairways clean and clear of clutter. Check to make sure all dead bolts and locks work
4.
doors, stuck windows or any other seemingly minor repairs. These items could detract from the value of
correctly.
7.
8.
9.
Highlighting the storage areas - Prospects need to see how much room you have in your attics,
basements and garage. Remove the junk now. You're going to be moving soon anyway!
Let's see those closets! - Make your closets look as big as possible by making sure they are clean, neat
and organized. Pack up any seasonal clothing, boxes and cartons, which may detract from the space.
Bathrooms sell homes ~ Make your bathrooms sparkle. Clean sinks and bowls, replace caulking around
tubs, showers and sinks and add bright, clean towels and rugs. The bathrooms is one room that Buyers are
sure to be in everyday once the buy the home.
10. Wake up your bedrooms - Keep bright sheets and spreads and remove any extra furniture.
11. Don't Stay for showings ~ Most buyers will feel uncomfortable if you or the kids are there during
showings.
12. Silence is Golden ~ Buyers and their agents don't want to yell over loud stereos or televisions. If you
choose to have music playing in the background, make sure it is in the background. Classical or adult
contemporary is suggested.
13. By Appointment Only! ~ Require that prospective Buyers schedule their appointments. This will allow
you to be sure the home is ready for a showing.
14. Don't be offended if a Buyer doesn't love your house - Remember how many houses you looked at
before you bought your home? Not every house will appeal to every buyer. Do your best to make sure that it
appeals to most.

marketing techniques to work for you.

Marketing Your Home to Buyers
You will make a good choice by listing with a Co]dwell Banker King Thompson associate! Our company
offers more opportunities for marketing your house than any other in Columbus. Our associates use a
dual approach to marketing by working to attract both buyers and Realtors.
We have many ways to reach buyers in the marketplace:
•
Only Coldwell Banker King Thompson has a television program that exposes our sellers' homes to
the entire 31-county region of central Ohio. The Sunday Morning Home Show uses video and voice
to showcase as many as '10 homes every week. Many properties sell within days of being seen on
the program. Your home can be a star, too.
•
Every associate has a different strategy for reaching potential buyers and showcasing listings.
Some associates prefer newspaper advertising, while others use an extensive database to mail
information to a targeted population. Depending on your location and price range, an Open House
may be appropriate and a property information brochure may he developed. Ask your associate to
discuss his or her plans for promoting your property. No matter what methods they choose,
Coldwell Banker King Thompson associates are backed by a corporate marketing department that
can offer suggestions for preparing materials and can give expert advice on choosing the right
place to advertise.
•
Coldwell Banker King Thompson's Internet home page (www.kingthompson.com) is a powerful tool
for people who like to use technology to begin their home search. As a seller, you can rest assured
your home is being marketed 24 hours a day by appearing on kingthompson.com.
•
To help people who move to and from central Ohio every year, Coldwell Banker King Thompson is
part of the nation's largest real estate relocation service. By listing with Coldwell Banker King
Thompson, you put your home in front of the thousands of people who are looking to move to the
Columbus area. In addition, we work with the area's largest employers to locate their new
employees.
Reaching Realtors with information about your house is important, also. Within the first week of listing
your house, your associate will enter your home into the Multiple Listing Service for the other 5,000
Realtors in central Ohio to see. In the same time period, a tour of your home will be arranged especially
for Coldwell Banker King Thompson associates, while tours for other Realtors are not uncommon, either.

The Bachelor ... Without the Women & Roses
Have you seen the hot reality show on ABC called The Bachelor? They also had a spin off called The
Sachelorette. The basic premise of the show is some attractive, wealthy, single guy gets a chance to date 25
icoperate single women in hopes of finding "Mrs. Right." Each week the Bachelor narrows down the field by
living the ladies he wants to continue dating a rose. Eventually he selects the woman of his dreams, i.e. the least
isychotic one, and a possible marriage proposal is in the future.
Well, after nearly 10 years of marriage I recently spent a week living the life of a
lachelor, minus all the roses, television cameras and attention-starved women. Ronda
md the children took ofif for a week in Hilton Head and left daddy behind to catch up on
rork, finish the income taxes and attempt to stay out of trouble.
Now before any of you get the idea that the next 8 days were total hedonism and more time at the golf
:ourse than a greenskeeper, I respond this way: First, please give me some credit. Second, I have come to the
onclusion that I just cant party like I could in the late 80's? Sure I had grandiose plans of non-stop golf and
Kg parties tp rival Greek Week but, the fact of the matter is, the real estate market has been keeping me
xtremely busy and I really did have to get our taxes done.
It shquld be noted that I missed my family very much. While Hogan (my dog) and I had free run of the
louse, it was nice to come home from work and have total freedom to watch ESPN's Sportscenter without
someone screaming to turn Nickelodeon on.
It is truly amazing how quickly a single guy can get ready for work without three
other people at home. Alarm goes off; shower; shave; get dressed; make bed (yes, I made
O it everyday...seriously); let dog out; get paper and read on way back inside; let dog in; give
dog treat; leave for work. Total time from alarm sounding to garage door closing = 24
o
minutes.
a
~°
Worried I didnt eat healthy while the family was away? I didn't. Worried that I went
mt every njght? I didn't. Actually three of the nights I was in by 8:30pm. You want proof? Jack Bauer took Kate
Earner from CTU and went in search of the fake tape on 24, no one got kicked ofif American Idol because Corey
21ark lied about his police record and Dave got voted off Survivor: The Amazon. But I really didnt watch a lot of
«levision.
My week also included two listing appointments, three buyers, wall to wall viewing of the NCAA Men's
basketball Elite Eight, mowing my lawn for the first time of the year, a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game, a
oight at the Funny Bone Comedy Club and a Columbus Crew MLS Soccer Game. I know what you're thinking.
'Soccer? Were you being bribed or blackmailed over something you're not telling us?" No, but it was the end of
the week and I was getting delirious from lack of freshly laundered clothes and nutritious meals.
I didn't know that Ronda had stocked our fridge in the basement with TV dinners and
frozen pizzas until I went down stairs to look for a favorite pair of pants in the laundry room. I
will admit that I grabbed the pants from the dirty pile, threw them in the dryer for 5 minutes and
voila! Freshly laundered pants! I made a conscious effort to do at least one load of laundry. I
chose to wash just my clothes (as we approach our 10th anniversary it just wasn't worth risking it
all over a load of delicates!) and figured that something easy like boxer shorts and t-shirts
couldnt be ruined.
So all in all, I survived. No broken bones, no broken laws and no broken promises) Bachelorhood wasn't
as glamorous as they make it look on TV. Okay, there's more room in the bed and yes, there's plenty of hot water
in the morning but it sure is nice to have three smiling faces (or two smiling faces and one exhausted Mommy)
greet you when you come home at the end of a long day.
Hiring Pros to Take Care of Your Turf
The number of households using professional lawn-care services surged 23 percent from 1999 to over 2
million in 2000. According to Professional Lawn Care Association of America President Bill Hoopes, most of thes
companies concentrate on fertilizing and tree and shrub care, rather than on mowing.
Homeowners can do many of these so-called "lawnscaping" tasks themselves, but professionals know
what treatments are needed and how much to apply. Also, most homeowners do not have enough time to inves
in making their lawns beautiful; and those who do will spend about as much on the necessary materials as the
would on a professional.
Hoopes says most companies perform five to six treatments at about $36 to $46 per visit, but adds that
well-groomed lawns can add 15 percent to a property's value. Before hiring a lawn-care company, experts urge
homeowners to check with the Better Business Bureau, and find out if the company belongs to a professional
organization. Also, ask neighbors, friends, and family for references, and examine the work of the companies. E
sure to determine what services are included in the agreement

Joke of the Month
This guy is flying down the interstate, going way faster than he should be, and consequently he
gets pulled over by the state police.
When the officer comes up to the window, the man says, "Before you say anything, I should
probably tell you that this car is stolen, I have an unregistered handgun in the glove compartment,
and there is a dead body in the trunk."
The officer, in absolute shock, calls for backup and within minutes the road is blocked off and
there are cops all around.
They search the car and find none of the things he said to be true. After investigating, the
sergeant approaches the driver and says, "I dont understand. I spoke with the officer who pulled you
over, and he said you told him there was a gun in the glove box, a body in the trunk, and that the car
was stolen. What's the deal here?"
The man stands there dumbfounded, then says, "I bet he told you I was speeding, too, huh?"
Lots to talk about this month so let's get started. Congratulations to Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse Orangemen
on their recent NCAA Basketball Championship. Usually you can count on the Orangemen underachieving
during March Madness but this year, with the help of freshman sensation Carmelo Anthony, they were able to
knock off Big 12 powers Texas and Kansas in the Final Four. By the way, is itjust us or does Coach Boeheim
look a lot like Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan?...Quick, besides Ellis Barks and Omar Vlzquel, can
you name two players on the Cleveland Indians roster? Man, they are starting to make the Cavalier's look
good...It was interesting to see that none of the major sports writers across the country ripped Tiger Woods for
shooting a 75 on the final day of the Masters and finishing well back in the
back. Has Phil Mickelson done that (he actually finished third), there would
have been headlines stating "Mickelson Chokes While "Other Lefty" Wins
Green Jacket?...The LA Lakers have officially been dethroned. Some new team
will claim this year's NBA title. So without Shaq, Kobe, MJ or LeBxon to talk
about, who's going to notice the playoffs are still going on?...Mel Kiper, Jr.
knows a little too much about eligible players in the NFL draft. This guy can
tell you what the fourth string comerback from Tuskegee Tech's brother-in-

Preparing Your Home for the Market
The condition of your home is as important as its location. Therefore, you need to consider how much
work you will put into your property before a "for sale" sign is posted.
Your Coldwcll Banker King Thompson associate can offer advice about improvements that will make
your home more marketable. Often, associates have been through other homes for sale and know where
yours stands in comparison. Here are some common suggestions that Realtors offer:
.
Stand across the street from your house and objectively judge its "curb appeal." Many buyers will
decide, just from driving by, whether or not to see your house with their Realtor. Is your
landscaping neat? Is your front door and porch welcoming and clean? Do all of the front windows
and curtains have a nice appearance? Most houses look better when the owners simply keep their
.
garage door closed.
While bold colors and intricate wallpaper made you feel at home, potential buyers may not share
your tastes. It often is a good idea to make your house more "neutral" before it is seen by buyers.
It may not be necessary to paint all of your rooms off-white or change carpeting from green to
ivory, but don't be surprised if your Realtor makes some of these suggestions. Sometimes, just
removing personal items like family photos from the walls and school projects from the
.
refrigerator will make your house feel more neutral.
Too much clutter and furniture will make your house seem much smaller than it is. You certainly
don't want buyers to feel closed in! Some people move extra furniture and toys to the basement or
to an off-site storage space. Others use the opportunity to clean out closets and hold a garage sale
or donate some of their belongings to charity. The idea is to make your house feel spacious.
Showing Your House
As soon as the "for sale" sign is posted in your yard, you will notice ears stopping in front of your house
and Realtors scheduling appointments for their buyers. Be prepared, at any time, for the house to be
shown - sometimes on very short noticel While Goldwell Banker King Thompson associates encourage
other Realtors to give at least a day's notice before showing a property, this isn't always possible. Keep
your house neat at all times, just in case. And have a plan of action for where you will go when showings
are arranged. Prospective buyers want to feel free to candidly evaluate your house so it is best not to be
present during showings.
Before the associate and buyers arrive at your house for a showing, turn on as many lights as possible lo
make it look bright and airy. Open the curtains and make the beds. You also may want to simmer
potpourri or think of other ways to make your house inviting.

Dear Sean:
This is a much belated thank you letter for all of your hard work and effort on my behalf. It was so
nice to have you as my "personal agent" for both the purchase of my new home and the
marketing/selling of my old home.
One of my primary requests was that 1 wanted my real estate agent to act as if I was their only
customer. You did a tremendous job! It was also nice to have you "screen" the houses for me - what
a valuable time-saver that was. You knew exactly what I was looking for, and then you found it!
I also wanted to thank you for your thoroughness in helping me prepare my "old" house for selling.
We put it on the market and had a valid offer within a week. No one at work could believe how fast it
all happened -1 have already referred you to two coworkers!
My thanks again to you and your assistant, Molly. You both have such a great sense of humor. I
never would have dreamed that it was going to be so easy, and fun, to sell (and buy) a house!
Sincerely,
Diana Wolfe

Re: The sale of 4951 Taunton Way, Columbus, Ohio
Dear Mr. Carpenter:
I would like to apologize for the delay of this long and over-due thank you. As you know, I
had a realtor with Remax, and was unhappy with not only the lack of communication, but also
with the general lack of interest the realtor showed in my home. I feel very fortunate that you
were in the office and had floor duty on the day I telephoned King Thompson.
From the beginning, your communication with me regarding the sale of my home was
excellent. Your presentation and explanation of the Comparative Market Analysis prepared
on the house was superb. I also appreciated your explanation of King Thompson's marketing
program.
One of the reasons I chose you and King Thompson was the walk through of the realtors. I
greatly appreciated the three (or was it four) open houses you held in the short time you had
my property on the market. I did interview two other realtors before selecting King
Thompson. My only regret is that I did not seek a release from Remax and begin the
relationship with you and King Thompson sooner.
The overall quality of your service, and my experience with King Thompson, was exceptional.
Without any reservation. I have, and will continue to. recommend King Thompson and Sean
Carpenter.
Sincerely,
Suanne Blevins
