Pricing Recommendation
The most recent sales in the community have been the larger floor plans where several distress homes
have served to keep relatively stable. The highest price achieved in the last few months for a
comparable model was $180,000 – this sale was contingent on an FHA mortgage and therefore a vlued
comparable.
The following table provides a summary based on the recent sales activity contained in the report.

Based on current market activity I would suggest listing your property price for sale between $185,000.
The final listing price is something that we would need to discuss in more detail and I would obviously
need to view the home but to assist you in our initial discussions regarding the potential sale I have
prepared a net proceeds based on this sales price. The following page contains a breakdown of the costs
involved in the sale and an estimated net proceeds assuming a sales price of $185,000.
I would be more than happy to talk you through the individual figures, but here is a quick explanation on
some of the costs you may not be familiar with:Title Policy - in Florida it is customary for the seller to pay title insurance for the buyer; it effectively
protects their investment against issues with title and is based on the sales price of the home.
Documentary Stamp Tax - similar to stamp duty in the UK this is paid direct to the state and again is
based on a percentage of the actual sales value.
Capital Gains Tax – gains tax will apply to any realized gain. Your CPA is best positioned to confirm your
actual liability.
FIRPTA (if applicable) - In the US the Internal Revenue have a specific act called FIRPTA (the Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act). It applies to the sale of all property owned by a Foreign National
and the IRS dictate that 10% of the sales price should be with-held at closing until they have confirmed
that you do not have any outstanding tax liabilities. It’s a te porary positio a d there are a few
exceptions but you should plan on these funds not being available to you on the day of closing.

Please Note:
The above estimates assume that:
1. All real estate (property) taxes are current
2. All real estate condominium / home owner association fees are paid in full.
3. Any special assessments are paid in full
FIRPTA - as a Foreign National the IRS mandate a 10% withholding to be made at closing.
These funds are normally returned within 30-60 days but will not be available on day of closing.
Mortgages - if you have a mortgage on this property please contact your lender and request a payoff value
You must have sufficient funds on the day of closing to pay off your mortgage. If the estimated funds listed
above is less than the outstanding balance on your mortgage we may still be able to assist you in the sale of
the property but it will require further review.

The Benefits of Using a Professional REALTOR®
This page outlines the benefits of using a professional REALTOR® to sell your property.
You’ll experience a wide variety of benefits
when you hire a real estate professional.
Successfully selling a property is a
complicated exercise, and REALTORS® have
the experience, resources and contacts to
complete your sale quickly and smoothly.
Pricing
A REALTOR® will help you determine the
selling price of your property at a level that
accurately reflects its value in current market
conditions and will not cost you missed
opportunities.
Marketing
A REALTOR® will have many useful
suggestions on ways to improve the
marketability of your property, including
cosmetic repairs and other items that will
create a favorable impression among buyers.
Your property will enjoy a wider exposure
among buyers when you use a REALTOR®. In
addition to using flyers and organizing open
house days, a REALTOR®'s extensive contact
list of former clients, newly qualified buyers and
other industry professionals can significantly
reduce the time your property is on the market.
A REALTOR® will also allow you to tap into a
highly productive and extensive industry
network, such as a Multiple Listing Service or
other industry marketing system.
Advertising your property efficiently is another
area where a REALTOR® can play an
important role. A REALTOR®’s experience in
deciding on the most appropriate type and
frequency of advertising for your property can
be invaluable. For example, placing too many
ads can create the impression that there may
be something wrong with the property or that
the seller is desperate.
Security
Security is a major consideration when showing
your home. By using a REALTOR®, you can
rest assured that all showings will be
pre-screened and supervised.
Negotiating
When negotiating a purchase, most buyers
prefer to deal with a middleperson who is
objective, unemotional and professional.
Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a
REALTOR® than with the owner when they want
to raise issues that need resolving before
making an offer.
Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing or
Settling
A REALTOR® will guide you through the
minefield of potential problems associated with
the appraisal, inspection and financing
process, including the often complicated
escrow instructions. In addition, your agent can
meet and instruct any specialists or
tradespeople who may be required for repairs

The Importance of Pricing
This chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.
This graph illustrates the importance of pricing correctly. The centerline
represents market value. As you move above this market value, you attract
much smaller percentage of prospective buyers, greatly reducing your
chances of a sale. Conversely, as you move below market value, you attract
a much larger percentage of potential buyers.

Setting the Price
This chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.
When setting a price for your property, the listing level
must strike a balance between the seller’s need to
achieve the best-possible return and the buyer’s need
to get good value. With many years of experience, a
professional Real Estate Agent can help you set a price
that will accomplish both objectives.
Establishing market value
The market value of your property is determined in
exactly the same way as any other commodity – what
a buyer is willing to pay for it in today’s market.
Despite the price you paid originally, or the value of
any improvements you may have made, the value is
determined by market forces.
Look at the competition
Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average
before making an offer on a property. As a result, they
have a good overview of the market and will compare
your property against the competition. If it’s not in line
with similar properties that are available, buyers won’t
consider it good value for money.

The Pitfalls of Overpricing
This chart highlights the importance of pricing correctly at market value.
Overpricing your house in the
belief that you can reduce the
price back later is a strategy
that can backfire badly. For
example, by the time you
reduce your price, you may miss
out on a surge of interest in
properties like yours. Also, if
prices are lowered, buyers may
wonder if there’s something
wrong with the property that
kept other buyers away. So to
keep from selling your property
at below market value and from
wasting valuable time, don’t fall
into the overpricing trap.

is shared among all who assisted in this important transaction.

the listing agent, the selling broker and the selling agent. recognition of the important roles each played in the sale of your
property, each is compensated by a percentage of the commission.

Steps to a Positive Showing
This page describes the key steps to making for a positive showing of your property.
You only get one opportunity to make a good impression, so you want to make it count following these guidelines, you’ll enhance the attractiveness of your property and reduce the time it
takes to generate serious offers.
First Impressions
How your property appears from the outside is
important. To make a good first impression on a
buyer, a clean driveway, a freshly mown lawn
or a trimmed hedge will work wonders.
Do a critical inspection of the exterior of your
property, paying special attention to the
condition of your windows, shutters, screens
and gutters. One of the first things a buyer will
notice is the need for painting. If your property
looks like it needs painting, many buyers will
form an unfavorable impression. Elsewhere, little
things count. Make sure the front door is
spotless, including the doorknob, and that the
windows gleam.
Cleanliness Counts
Once inside your property, one of the key
factors that influences its appeal to a buyer is
cleanliness. Most important is front hallway, the
kitchen and the bathrooms. Do a room-by-room
cleaning, and don’t forget any out-of-sight
areas because that’s often where a
discriminating buyer will look first.
The state of the carpets can also be a
determining factor. At the very least, have your
carpets cleaned, and if they are worn, it’s wise
to replace them, or remove them if there is
hardwood underneath.
Less is More
C ! "#kes a poor impression $% &'( ()
cabinets, kitchen countertops and other storage
areas like basements, remove anything not needed
for daily housekeeping. To make each room in your
property look larger, get rid of or donate
unnecessary furniture. Walk through your property
and think: “Less is more.”
Repairs
Make sure everything is in good working order.
Dripping faucets, squeaky steps and loose
doorknobs can easily create a bad impression and
reduce the value of your property. A few hours
spent on repairs, whether by yourself or a
tradesman, can pay big dividends when an offer is
made.
Little Things Count
It’s easy to improve the appearance of any room.
You may want to replace worn rugs or small pillows,
put new towels in the bathroom or brighten up a
room with a vase of flowers.
Pull Together
Get all the members of your household to pull
together when it comes to getting – and keeping –
your property ready to view. By getting everyone
into the habit of spending a few minutes tidying up
every morning for an afternoon showing, you
improve your chances considerably.
