A.
PROFESSIONAL, FULL TIME REPRESENTATION
In 1992, I
began my real estate career with an intense commitment to provide unique and
extraordinary residential real estate service to sellers and buyers of homes in
the metropolitan Charlotte area. Since that time, many strategies and techniques
have been established that have set my company apart from others in quality,
service and SALES
RESULTS.
The concept has successfully grown into a full service real estate marketing and
sales force that is now GroundPlay Realty. My strategies and
techniques will become more apparent as I present my marketing plan.

B. A REAL
ESTATE ORGANIZATION POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS
Reggie Parker
is working hard to position GroundPlay Realty as one of the
strategic companies in the Charlotte real estate market:
Founded in
2003.
One
centralized office to cover all Charlotte needs.
The company
is working hard to be recognized for: Integrity, Aggressive Sales Results,

C.
TRANSACTIONAL PRICING
(ONE OF THE
MOST CRITICAL FACTORS IN PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATION)
1. THE
SITUATION THE CURRENT CHARLOTTE MARKET
Supply
greatly exceeds demand.
More houses
on the market than will be sold.
Economic
recovery slow and erratic .
Today's
buyers are very sophisticated and extremely knowledgeable.
Today's Real
Estate Professional Must Have A Daily "Finger On The Pulse" Of The Charlotte
Residential Market.
2. IMPORTANT
FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION
Price is
important to you and the buyer.
The price of
your home is Dictated by the Marketplace...it has nothing to do
with personal opinion.
In today s
Charlotte area market, overpriced houses do not sell, in fact, they are
seldom shown:
- Buyers
assess a seller's seriousness.
- Buyers are
demanding closed comparables from showing agents.
- Buyers have
a wide range of selection.
...Knowing
the economy, corporate buyers are concerned about being relocated in two to
three years, and want to come out right on the transaction.
...The
philosophy of "price high, reduce later" is a poor market strategy
(AND WILL
RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE FIRST AND POSSIBLY BEST POTENTIAL BUYERS)
3. MY
PROFESSIONAL GOAL IN THE AREA OF PRICING
...Provide a
detailed financial analysis of your home based on Closed Comparables.
...Evaluate
the competition with a comprehensive view of what is on the market.
...Discuss
pricing strategies with you.
...Help you
get the absolute maximum return on your real estate investment.
4. INVESTMENT
OF TIME AND EFFORT FOR YOU
...My
detailed financial analysis is one of the most in-depth in the industry.
...I consult
periodically with appraisers to give you the benefit of the most professional
advice and counsel.
...Pricing
through "averages" such as "average price per square foot" is misleading and
usually inaccurate.
...Once I
have provided you with accurate and sound figures, I will then be happy to
discuss the best strategy for you.
D. CONDITION
OF YOUR PROPERTY
...Buyers
have a a wide selection today and obviously to compete, your home must show
favorably.
...New
construction availability in all Charlotte price ranges makes it important
for your home to show well...your home will be consciously and sub-consciously
compared to these new homes.
...Most
Buyers Must Get Emotionally Involved with a home before making an
offer. A house in poor condition can be a real emotional "turn-off".
..."Move-In
Condition" is a request from most buyers with whom we work. We live in a
fast paced world where people often don't have the time to make changes or
renovations. There are also many who simply don't have the vision to see what
cosmetic changes could do to a home.
...Prospects
For "Fixer-Uppers" are very rare today. There are some of them in the
marketplace, but:
- They will
pay the lowest possible price.
- They
normally overestimate the cost of their planned changes and renovations, putting
more pressure on reducing the purchase price.
I WILL MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU:
A key role
for me is to advise you in this area. I will make recommendations to improve the
marketability of your home, and will seek feedback from other showing agents to
keep you informed. I’m constantly handling buyers moving into the Charlotte
area, and will look at your home from a buyer's perspective.
E. STRATEGIC
MARKETING
...To the
two groups of homebuyers in the Charlotte Marketplace.
1. Buyers
Working With An Agent
90% of the
Charlotte residential home buyers are in this category.
2. Buyers Not
Working With An Agent
at this point
in time.
While it may
seem like an oversimplification, there is a critical distinction that
significantly impacts the effectiveness of my marketing for you!
