| TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME |
| My name is Scott Godzyk, I am the Owner and Broker of the Godzyk Realty Group. Come see why we stand out as one of the leading independant Real Estate companies in New hampshire. First off is we strive to maintain the old fashioned hands-on personal and professional style of Real Estate we have practiced for over 40 years. The one item that makes us stand out over virtually all other companies is that we still show our own listings. What do i mean you ask? Well the franchised companies have switched to showing desks to set up their showings. The first thing to note is the showing desk is not in their office, it is often out of state and even out of the country. YIKES!!! Well that is nothing... Then the showing desk gives out a lockbox code to a lockbox on your door where a stranger can enter your home to vioew the property WITHOUT your listing agent even there. DOUBLE YIKES!!! Now not only to you have a stranger in your house, who is looking out for your interest. What if it is a real buyer that is truely interested? No one is there to show them the lot line, to tell them how old the roof or furnace is, and no one is there to tell them about the things that makes your home special.
NOT WITH US!!! We are there to show your home. Whether it be another Realtor or a potential buyer. I set up the showing, I go to your house to let them in, and i stay with them and you through all aspects of the Real Estate transaction.

PRICE
In today’s challenging market, price is more important than ever. The wrong price simply will not attract the right buyer, or may not attract a buyer at all. Buyers today are very “price motivated” when making their buying decision. When we meet with prospective sellers, plenty of time is spent reviewing recent sales of similar homes so the seller is in a position to make a wise pricing choice. We do not just list homes, our goal is to sell homes. We look to get you the best possible price in the quickest amount of time.
CONDITION
With so many homes to choose from buyers can be more selective than ever. If a home needs updates, decluttering, or some other form of “work”, the buyer will either pass on it or make an offer that would be lower than otherwise. Taking the time to prepare the home for the market is essential to get you a good price in a reasonable amount time.
MARKETING PLAN
Any agent can list a home, they can tell you your home is worth way over your neighbors, and let your home sit in their inventory until a buyer may come around. Or you can utilize an agent who will give it their all. An extensive marketing plan is critical in today’s market. Not every marketing plan produces results however. An effective marketing plan will not only produce required showings, but will lead to getting the home sold. Our marketing plan is geared towards you home, your neighborhood and the potential buyers that will be atracted to it.
In a ever changing market we utilize an ever changing apporach to meet the demands of buyers and sellers. Dont call us if you want your home listed, CALL US IF YOU WANT YOUR HOME SOLD!!!

Market knowledge
We can provide detailed market information about the overall market, your neighborhood, and your specific home that will be crucial to targeting the right price and marketing strategy to attract a buyer quickly.
Unbiased opinions
A good listing agent will tell you not only what buyers will love about your current abode but what will turn buyers off as well. For instance green shag carpet is out but colorful walls are in. The ability to provide a critique of your home's curb appeal and help with home staging tips can be crucial to building a good first impression with buyers.
Marketing expertise
We are trained to pick up on key features that will set your home apart from the competition. Building on these focus points, they can structure a multi-media marketing approach to finding a buyer using their economy scale (advertising multiple properties) that will be hard to match as an individual homeowner.
Exposure
One of the biggest advantage of using our company is to dramatically increased exposure through the Multiple Listing Service and web marketing strategies. As typically over half of all listings are sold by co-operating brokers, when you work with a listing agent you are actually tapping into the buyer inventory of every agent in your community.
Negotiation skills
A good listing agent provides sellers with an emotional buffer between themselves and the potential buyer. This often makes negotiating a sale easier and more profitable for the homeowner as it's far easier to reject or counter offers through a third party rather than face to face when selling on your own.

Sticking around to show off your handywork won't help you sell. Even the most eager seller should exit stage left when it's time for a showing.
Spring is the heaviest time for sales, but that doesn't mean people don't buy homes 365 days a year. Emphasize the amenities for the season you choose.
Your house is only worth what people will pay for it. We will be able to let you knwo what similar homes in your area are selling for and what has sold within the last 6 months.
Major construction projects aren't likely to bring you a big return when you sell. Small changes enhancing your home are more likely to increase your sale price. Fresh paint and clean carpets go a long way.
Don't make the mistake of thinking selling is easy. Know the work involved if you choose to sell without an agent. Studies have shown that with the assistance of an agent, the higher price, the quicker sale and less aggravation and stress offset the competitive commission.
Selling your home is all about getting buyers through the door, so don't make any aspect of the process hard on house hunters. Although our agents always try to gove 24 hours notice to the seller, Buyers often are in the area and want to see it while they are in your area and interest is high. You worked so hard just to get someone, dont say no and send them away to look at another house. Chances are they wont be back.
The more exposure your home gets, the better. Work with your realtor to find buyers. Know that our agents will utilize the internet as a major source for exposure for your house. Using virtual tours, photos and descriptions of what makes your home special are worth more than conventional ads in todays market.
Look at your house from a buyer's perspective, and make minor enhancements to make your home more appealing. Start with a clean yard, uncluttered entry way, fresh paint, clean floors, unclutter the house, make an easy flow through the rooms, open up the blinds, turn on the lights and make and bright and airy.
