Dear Tom & Mary:
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to present the enclosed proposal to
market your home. I appreciate the time you spent with me reviewing the features of your
home and outlining your financial goals and time considerations.
You will receive competent and professional service when you select me and Hirschi
REALTORS to represent you. We have represented many families in this area concluding
transactions that realize maximum value in a reasonable time. I hope you will select me as
your agent in this very important transaction.
This proposal includes a comprehensive market analysis that will assist us in determining
the market value and pricing of your home. I hope the information included on me and
Hirschi REALTORS will confirm that I am best qualified to market your home.
Sincerely,
Agent, REALTOR®
Listing Appointment Overview
My plan in meeting with you today (and steps taken so far) consist of
the following:
1. Preparation and Research Prior to Appointment
(Research and gathering of property, tax and ownership data)
2. Initial Visit with Homeowner & Property Preview
(Determination of unique property features, characteristics and condition)
3. Establish Seller’s Motivation & Objectives for Selling
Through Seller Counseling Questions
(Discovering seller’s wants, needs, experience, timing, & expectations in selling)
4. Present Marketing Plan to Seller
(What I will do to get your home sold in the shortest amount of time, with the least
amount of trouble, and net you the most money)
5. Selection of Agent
(Select agent based on competency and marketing plan -- NOT on price. Since
agents DO NOT determine the value of your home [buyers do], don’t make the
mistake of selecting a less competent agent who quotes a higher price)
6. Establish an Asking Price for Property (CMA)
Seller Counseling Questions
Prior to preparing and presenting my Marketing Plan for your home, it would be very helpful if you
could answer a few questions I have provided below. If this is completed before our appointment, it
could save us both some time, as well as give me a better understanding about your wants, needs and
expectations for the sale of your home.
1) How long have you owned this home?___________ Have you definitely decided to sell?__________
2) Why are you selling?________________________________________________________________
3) How soon do you want to place your home on the market?___________________________________
4) How soon would you like to be moved?_________________________________________________
5) Are you able to buy another home without selling yours first?________________________________
6) How many homes have you owned?__________ Have you ever sold a home before?_____________
7) Have you used a real estate agent before?________________________________________________
8) How have your past experiences been?__________________________________________________
9) Are you interviewing other companies/agents?________ Who?______________________________
10) What do you feel are the most important factors in selecting an agent/company? ________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
11) What is the most important service a real estate agent should be able to provide?________________

HIRSCHI REALTORS
Company History and Profile
HISTORY
Hirschi Realtors was established in 1966 by John Hirschi, an energetic, dedicated, and communityminded businessman whose family has served the Wichita Falls area for generations. In the 1960's and
70's, John Hirschi built a leading real estate company and helped the growth of Wichita Falls by
developing new residential and commercial areas. The image and reputation of his real estate firm grew
in a very positive manner as the agents he selected shared his philosophy of community service,
dedication, and providing the best possible real estate services. In the 1980's John's interests moved
even more toward "service to others" through civic involvement, and participation in state and local
government. John sold his real estate company in 1983, and today it is owned by Danny Steed who is a
native Wichitan, a past president, director, Realtor of the Year and Distinguished Service Award winner
of the Wichita Falls Association of Realtors, and a Certified Residential Brokerage Manager with more
than 39 years of sales and management experience with Hirschi Realtors. Danny continues a tradition of
service excellence through exceptional agents working in a learning-based company utilizing the latest
technology and marketing tools to provide superior service.
PROFILE
Hirschi Realtors was recognized by the Better Business Bureau as a 1999-2000 award winner of the
Torch Award For Marketplace Excellence, and was nominated again for the award in 2004. Through the
Torch Awards, the BBB recognizes local businesses and corporations nationwide who express the
highest standards of conduct and values within a system of business and human relationships. Hirschi
Realtors continues to maintain an “A+” rating as an accredited business with the BBB. Hirschi Realtors
was also recognized as Texoma's Best Real Estate Company for 2014 by the readers of the Wichita Falls
Times Record News. The average agent at Hirschi Realtors enjoys more than 10 years experience as a
local real estate professional, and each agent is a vital part of the overall success of the Hirschi TEAM.
Sales associates at Hirschi Realtors are also very productive, with the average Hirschi agent selling more
than three times as much real estate as the average agent with the local Multiple Listing Service.
Since 1966, Hirschi Realtors has:
 Closed Over One Billion Dollars in Total Sales Volume
 Participated in more than 18,000 Successful Transactions
 Successfully marketed more than 9,000 Seller Properties
 Assisted more than 9,000 Buyers Relocating to New Homes
 Received more than 65% of our business from Satisfied Repeat Customers
 Received an additional 20% from Out-of-Town Transferees, Corporate,
Military, and National Relocation Contacts...
...and all of this is accomplished with a Quality of Service Rating that is second to none in Wichita Falls
and its surrounding market areas!

The Discounted Brokerage Fee…
Is Cheaper Always Better?
Discounting of brokerage service fees (commissions) is an enticing option and a serious consideration
when making the decision about listing your home with a Realtor. Real estate agents are competing for
your business, and the fees they charge can make a difference in your decision about who to list your
property with. In a competitive environment, there are always service providers who will work for less.
The question becomes: “Is cheaper always better, and will I get the real results I am looking for?”
Your home is also in a competitive environment. You are not only competing with many other
properties in the marketplace, but you are also competing for the attention and interest of a large number
of real estate agents who may represent the perfect buyer for your home. Statistics show that 50% of all
homes are sold by agents with companies other than the listing company and 90% of the time, the buyer
for your home will be represented by an agent other than your listing agent.
How does this affect you? Why should this make a difference to you?
It may not. Keep in mind, however, that the buyer’s agent is selecting the homes that not only meet the
needs of his client, but homes that the agent is motivated to show. That buyer’s agent has many
competing properties to choose from when “narrowing down the field” for his/her buyer client. The
reduced fees offered to buyer’s agents COULD be a deterrent and could possibly lead to less showing
activity, fewer offers, a longer marketing time, and ultimately, less money to you.
On the surface, discounted brokerage fees sound beneficial to you and you would certainly hope to net
more money from your sale. It may not work out the way you planned. Discuss this with your listing
agent. Make sure the incentives are in place to get your home properly marketed to buyers and agents
alike. Remember, you are marketing to agents just as much as you are marketing to potential buyers.
Those cooperating agents will be the ones bringing your buyer 90% of the time. The commission
investment you make in the marketing of your home could be the difference in reaching your goal, or
falling short.
Insist that your listing agent discusses with you the importance of Paragraph 8. “Cooperation With
Other Brokers” in the Listing Agreement that you will be signing, and the impact it could have on your
sale.
Real estate agents are independent business people who work extremely hard to get you the results you
desire. Good agents understand the value of their time and expertise. Those agents, who represent a
large number of buyers, will generally choose the business opportunities which promise the greatest
rewards.
Why use a REALTOR®?
When selling your home, your REALTOR® can
give you up-to-date information on what is
happening in the marketplace including price,
financing and terms of competing properties.
These are key factors in a successful sale of your
property at the best price in the least amount of
time.
Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
are properly called REALTORS®. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected
to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. They are
committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTOR® business practices are monitored
at local board levels. Arbitration and disciplinary systems are in place to address complaints from the
public or other board members.
Your REALTOR® can help you objectively
evaluate every buyer's proposal and then help
write an appropriate legally binding sale
agreement. Between the initial sales agreement
and settlement, questions may arise. For
example, unexpected repairs may be required to
obtain financing or a problem with the title is
discovered. Your REALTOR® is the best person
to help you resolve those issues and move the
transaction to settlement.

Homes are bought by comparison. I have a large inventory at my disposal
through MLS while you have an inventory of one.
I am very familiar with competitive houses so I can help you position your
home well.
It is hard negotiating for yourself. I have lots of experience in writing
contracts and can negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
Buyers are not always forthright about their financial situation. I insist on
pre-qualifying before I even bring you an offer.
My lender contacts and mortgage experience help buyers get the
financing they need.
Most buyers don’t want to tell the seller why they don’t make an offer. I
can probe the buyer or his agent for that information.
Any follow up you do with a buyer can be seen as desperation. I follow up
as part of my job so that you are not perceived in a compromising light.
I can showcase your improvements better so that you don’t appear like
you are “selling.”
Most sellers who spend their time as a For Sale By Owner end up by
listing in the end. A recent NAR survey found that only 11% of sellers
nationally ended up selling by owner. Why spend your time and money if
in the end you will hire a REALTOR®?
Unqualified buyers can tie up your home. I make sure that doesn’t
happen.
Personality conflicts with a buyer can get in the way. I come between the
buyer and the seller so that personalities don’t enter in.
Most buyers use a REALTOR®, which increases the number of buyers who
will see your home.
I can mobilize my company agents and other area REALTORS® on your
behalf.
An NAR survey of recent closed sellers found that REALTOR®-assisted
sales brought in 20% more sales price than For Sale By Owner sales.
A FSBO sign makes you vulnerable for any curiosity seeker or unsavory
character. When you list, only buyers accompanied by a REALTOR® will
get into your home.
Being accessible to show your home limits your personal time and cuts
down the available showing time. When you list, your property will be
available during normal showing hours and the prospect will always be
accompanied by me or another REALTOR®.
Additional exposure through MLS and the Internet brings you a higher
price.
I orchestrate the contract-to-closing process, including the appraisal,
buyer-loan process, title, inspections, pest control, survey, etc., taking this
burden off of you.
I make sure that you are compliant with all laws relating to the sale of your
home.
I only get paid when I get the job done.
This information is brought to you by the Texas Association of REALTORS® as part of its Graduate REALTOR® Institute
(GRI) curriculum. Whenever you buy, sell, or lease real estate, make sure your agent is a REALTOR®.

When An Appointment Is Made
Agents from many real estate firms will want to show your home. Please allow any agent who calls to
show your home at the suggested time. If you are not frequently available, it is suggested that you allow
a lockbox to be installed on your door. You will increase your odds for a sale by allowing more qualified
buyers to see your home. You do not want to miss an out-of-town transferee because your home was not
able to be shown.
During a showing:
� Open all draperies and window shades during
daylight hours.
� The kitchen & bathroom should sparkle.
� Open windows one half hour before showing to
circulate fresh air.
� Open all the doors between rooms to give an inviting feeling.
� Place fresh flowers on kitchen table and/or in the living room.
� If possible, bake cookies or bread to add an inviting aroma.
� Turn on all lights and replace bulbs with high
wattage bulbs where needed.
� Pets should be confined or restricted from view. Eliminate pet odors. Not everyone may share your
love of animals. Some people may be allergic to them.
� All jewelry and small valuables should be stored in a safety deposit box or in a locked closet.
� Replace any items not included in the sale, or tag them appropriately with “to be replaced with…”
or “not included” signs.
� Beds should be made & clothes picked up. Bathrooms should be clean, with towels folded and
toilet lid down.
� When you leave the house, please leave it as if you know it is going to be shown. You never know
when the right person is going to look at it!

Staging Your Home to Sell
You know you should clean
everything, get rid of clutter, and
hide your wall-to-wall Hummel
collection. But aside from that,
how do you broaden the appeal
of your house?
Here are a few tips:
• Walk through the house and pick out things that would enhance the value
of the home if they were different. You’ll be better able to prioritize this way.
For example, repainting a child’s bubble-gum pink bedroom may attract
more buyers than something not as apparent, such as replacing an old
dishwasher.
• You can direct a potential buyer’s eye away from something negative or
toward something positive. Use artwork or a room’s own features, such as
a fireplace, to capture a buyer’s attention. However, There’s a fine line. You
want buyers to be able to appreciate the room and not just focus on the
items in the room.
• Remove any furniture that tightens spaces. If a couch or chair makes you
turn your body as you walk by or just makes a passage look small, get rid
of it. Everybody wants more space.
• Rid the house of personal effects, and don’t forget simple things like
magnets on the refrigerator. Small distractions to the buyers’ eyes will
disturb their thinking, preventing them from picturing the house as theirs.
And while you want the rooms to look well-decorated and spacious, avoid
turning the house into a perfect home. Try to balance the brand-new look
with some of its lived-in warmth.
• Potential buyers often feel uncomfortable in bedrooms and bathrooms
because they are, by definition, personal and private places. To counter
this reaction, make bedrooms and bathrooms look like a model home (toss
the lived-in feel out the bathroom window). Clear off all surfaces of the
bathroom—remove even simple things like toothpaste and soap. Put out
nice, fresh towels instead. The goal is to make these rooms comfortable for
buyers. When they’re comfortable, they’ll linger and picture themselves in
the house.

Tips for Selling:
Selling Your Home?
Less is Definitely More
Here are a few tips to make your home more attractive to a potential buyer:
Reduce clutter
• Clean out closets, pick up clutter, and pare down what’s inside. That goes
for those treasured family photos and mementos, too. The reason?
Besides adding a spacious feel to the home, pared-down surroundings can
help potential buyers better envision themselves and their family photos in
the house.
• Pack away items and special collections usually displayed in cabinets and
hutches, and move a few pieces of furniture out of the house. This will help
buyers to better see where their furniture might go in the house.
• Don't forget to keep the house clean every minute it’s on the market. This
takes great effort, but the buyer may need to see it in the next five minutes,
and you’ll need to be prepared.
Tone down your creativity
• So, you like your house to “say something” about your personality. Well,
it’s time to tone it down. Go buy some plain-vanilla paint to cover those redand-purple walls in your boudoir—it’ll make a difference when you’re trying
to sell your home. Many buyers can’t see your Picasso genius (and just
can’t get past the splatter-paint wall in the living room) to visualize colors
they’re more comfortable with.
• If you’ve got an Italian fresco on a living room wall that stops people in
their tracks, they may lose sight of the rest of the home’s wonderful
features. If you’re resistant to do anything about it, ask someone you trust
to give you an independent view of your home. Better yet, ask your
Realtor® or an appraiser if the house looks cluttered or if any colors are
too bright. Some may see bright colors as gaudy. Listen to their answers
and take their advice.
By “paring down,” organizing, and carefully sorting your possessions, you’re
ensuring that your home will appeal to the greatest number of potential
buyers. Remember to remove about half of the items stored in closets and
cabinets and toss or give away things you don't use. Not only will decluttering and cleaning help to sell your house quickly, you’ll be ahead of the
game when it comes to packing up and moving to your new location.

Tips for Selling:
Landscaping Little Touches Make the Difference
The right landscape design can make all the difference to a prospective buyer,
especially when it’s beautifully and carefully executed. In fact, Realtors® and
landscape professionals estimate that a well-landscaped yard can add 5% to
15% to the selling value of a house. Houses that look good from the road
carry higher price tags—a fact that turns landscape investments into money in
the bank when selling a house. Here are a few ideas on how to improve your
landscape:
Trees
• One of the best investments you can make is a glorious stand of healthy
trees as part of a well-landscaped yard. Realtors® across Texas and the
rest of the country know that healthy trees can increase the property value
of a home, as well as provide years of aesthetic benefits to owners. Trees
also cut down energy costs. When Kiplinger published the 25 best ways to
invest $1,000, buying a big tree was at the top of the list. If your selling
timetable doesn’t allow for planting and nurturing a tree to maturity,
remember this advice for your next house.
• Since a tree is a long-term investment, it’s important to start with a highquality plant. In the case of trees, money definitely buys quality. Trees that
are 8 to 10 feet tall—either balled and wrapped in burlap or established
and growing in containers—are usually the best buy. Homeowners can
expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $1,000 for a quality tree.
Plants
• Add a few plants around the foundation of the house and in “curb appeal”
areas such as near the front door. Or, consider using more permanent
bushes, especially those that flower in the summer and have colorful buds
in the winter.
• Gardeners on a budget can buy a few plants, then, add more as your
budget allows.
• For an especially inexpensive jolt for your yard, flowers are a homeowner’s
best friend. Bright splashes of color add visual appeal, though they’re
usually temporary. For this reason, they’re great if you suddenly need to
put your house on the market and need a quick landscaping fix. At that
point, it’s best to stick to the basics, leaving more costly and permanent
landscaping to the new owners.

Carpets in Need of a Tune-up?
Try These Ideas
Quick fixes for new-looking carpets
• First, to really get it clean, sweep the carpet with a broom, which will make
the nap stand up and loosen embedded dirt. Next, vacuum the carpet. Your
carpet should show a noticeable improvement just from taking these two
steps.
• If you have pets and need help neutralizing strong odors, mix one cup
Borax with two cups cornmeal. Sprinkle the carpet with this mixture. Let
stand one hour, then vacuum. To freshen the carpet, combine threequarters of a cup baking soda, two tablespoons cornstarch, and onequarter cup perfumed talcum powder. Sprinkle on dry carpet, let stand five
to 15 minutes, then vacuum.
Spot-cleaning tips
DO
• Use a clean white, absorbent terry towel
• Blot or tamp the spot
• Pretest the carpet in an inconspicuous area
• Clean the stain from the edge to the center
• Apply cleaner to the towel
• Clean with modest amounts of cleaning solution
• Adhere to product safety guidelines and general instructions
• Remove the stain as soon as it is noticed
• Remove the dirty excess before cleaning
• Use cleaning compounds at lukewarm temperature
DON'T
• Saturate the carpet with cleaning compounds
• Apply heat or vigorously scrub the stain
• Leave the stain until later
• Fail to remove dried excess stain prior to cleaning
• Forget to pre-test the carpet or stain
Follow these tips, and your carpet will look good as new again in no time.

Determining the Value of Your Home
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is essential
to determine the value of residential property.
Location and characteristics of the property are the
key elements in determining value. Therefore, the
basis for valuation is similar properties in your area.
The market analysis takes into account the amount
received from recent sales of comparable properties
and the quantity and quality of comparable
properties currently on the market. The desired end
result is to find a price that will attract a willing and
able buyer in a reasonable time.
Once the value of your home has been determined, you can decide on an offering price that will achieve
your goals. Generally, the price should not exceed the value by more than 5% or potential buyers may
not even make offers. Naturally, if you want to sell quickly your asking price should be very near the
value.
The following are a few things to keep in mind about pricing:
� Realistic pricing will achieve maximum price in a reasonable time.
� Your cost or profit desire is irrelevant; the market determines the price.
� The cost of improvements are almost always more than the added value.
� Houses that remain on the market for a long time do not get shown.
� A house that is priced right from the beginning achieves the highest proceeds.
The Importance of Intelligent Pricing
Determining the best asking price for a home can be one
of the most challenging aspects of selling a home. It is
also one of the most important. If your home is listed at a
price that is above market value, you will miss out on
prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime
candidates to purchase your home. If you list at a price
that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a
price that is not the optimum value for your home. As
Figure 1 illustrates, more buyers purchase their
properties at market value than above market value. The
percentage increases as the price falls even further below
market value. Therefore, by pricing your property at
market value, you expose it to a much greater percentage
of prospective buyers. This increases your chances for a
sale while ensuring a final sale price that properly
reflects the market value of your home.
Another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing your
home is timing. A property attracts the most attention,
excitement and interest from the real estate community
and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market
(see Figure 2). Improper pricing at the initial listing
misses out on this peak interest period and may result in
your property languishing on the market. This may lead
to a below market value sale price (see Figure 3), or,
even worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the
highest chances for a fruitful sale when it is new on the
market and the price is reasonably established.
Figure 1 - Percentage of Buyers by Asking Price
Figure 2 - Activity versus Timing
We can give you up-to-date information on what is
happening in the marketplace and the price, financing,
terms, and condition of competing properties. These are
key factors in getting your property sold at the best price,
quickly and with minimum hassle.

How Buyers Found the Home They Purchased

Important Factors In Choosing A Real Estate Agent
A variety of factors influence a seller's decision to list with
a particular real estate agent.
What Sellers Want Most From
Real Estate Professionals
Real estate agents can best serve their clients when they fully
understand what their clients expect from them.
ABSORPTION RATE ANALYSIS
To Assist in Accurate Pricing of Your Property
1) INVENTORY
The total number of like-kind homes for sale within your price range.
2) ABSORPTION RATE
The rate at which like-kind homes will sell within your price range in a given
period of time. It can be expressed in unit sales per month.
EXAMPLE:
Sales Last 6 Months
Divided By 6 Mos.
(In Your Price Range)
72
= Sales Per Month
(Absorption Rate)

YOUR MARKET:
3) MONTHS OF INVENTORY
Determines the length of time required to sell all the existing homes by dividing
Current Inventory by Absorption Rate.
EXAMPLE:

60
Div. By Sales per Month = Months of Inventory

YOUR MARKET:
4) PRICING STRATEGY
Homes priced closest to market value within your price range will sell first.
Slower (higher) absorption rates require pricing closer to the market.

Key Market Factors
How long does it take to sell a property? Some properties sell in a few days, others may take
several months. By recognizing some key factors that influence marketing a home, you can get
significant control over market time.
The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale:
� Location
Location is the single greatest factor affecting value. A
neighborhood’s desirability is basic to a property’s fair market
value.
� Competition
Buyers compare your property against others in that
neighborhood. Buyers interpret value based on available
properties on the market.
� Timing
The real estate market may reflect a “buyers” or “sellers” market. Market conditions cannot be
manipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan of action must be developed for each
property.
� Condition
The property condition will affect price and speed of sale. Optimizing physical appearance and
advance preparation for marketing maximizes value.
� Terms
The more terms available, the larger the market, the quicker the sale and the higher the price.
Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.
� Price
If the property is not properly priced, a sale may be delayed or even prevented. Reviewing the
Comparative Market Analysis assists you in determining the best possible price.
ACTIVITY VS. TIME ON MARKET
The majority of showings occur in the early period of
marketing (typically the first 2 or 3 weeks)… then
diminish after existing buyers have seen your property.

Don’t overprice your
home during the period
of its best activity…
then lower the price

“We Can Always Come Down”
(The “Bargaining Room” Myth)
The rationale of pricing your home higher than market value in
order to leave “bargaining room” is an ill-advised pricing tactic.
Buyers shop and compare, and recognize when homes are
well-priced in the market.

Sellers want Feedback… We give it to you!
Using our unique email Showing Feedback surveys, we request
important feedback results from showing agents on ALL showings.
Timely and candid feedback gathered from showing agents and buyers
helps with proper pricing and condition decisions, creating a faster sale.
The Purpose of Feedback
The reasons we follow up with the Agent who showed your house are:
1. To jog the Agent’s memory about the house so that we may be able to
get a second showing.
2. To answer any questions or concerns that the Buyer expressed so that
the house will be reconsidered.
3. To get the impression of the Buyers or Agents that might help
us to better market your house.
Note: Don’t expect Agents to give a full critique of the house. If they showed
12-15 houses, they honestly may not remember it in detail. Also, if an Agent
doesn’t call us back, it means the Buyers are not interested.
Interpreting Feedback
When An Agent Says:
The Agent Means:
“The Buyer thought the house was
too small.”
>
The Buyer found larger homes
for the same price.
“They liked the house, but bought
another one.”
>
They found other houses that
were better values.
“They liked the house, but bought
a new home.”
>
Buyers will pay 10 – 15% more
for a new house.
“They didn’t like the carpet.”
>
Seller should replace carpet
because of age or color.
“They thought the yard was too
small, the street too busy…”
>
They found other homes with
larger yards, quieter streets.
“They didn’t like the floor plan.”
>
They didn’t like the floor plan.
Price Objections are Always Clothed in Different Terms
SELLERS’ GOAL: To Be the Nicest House in the Price Range
Understanding The Real Estate Market
• If our house is not being shown, it means the agents think
our price is too high for that neighborhood.
Recommendation: A significant price adjustment
• If our house is being shown, but we are not getting any offers,
it means the Buyers are finding nicer homes for the money.
Recommendation: A moderate price adjustment
• If our house is “in the running” but the Buyers buy something
else, or if the Buyers view the house a second time but buy
something else, it means that we are close.
Recommendation: A minor price adjustment
According to the National Association of REALTORS,
if our house is priced correctly, we should get
one offer for every 10 showings.
In a normal market, we should get
1-2 showings per week.
