Presentation for the Hawaii Home Seller (The Epiphany) UPDATED

After cleaning out my file/storage cabinets and literally filling up one quarter of a dumpster at my complex on Sunday I had an epiphany. While writing Is Your Office Organized?  it dawned on me that all that clear space was bound to bring something great.

My last statement in that post: Now that I'm all organized....  Okay, ready for that next client!  

And then it happened!

A Hawaii Home Seller walked in to the office yesterday afternoon and we made an appointment for this morning at 10:00am to list their Mililani Home.

I had also been putting together a different approach to a Listing Presentation and this morning I awoke at 5:30am excited to finish it and USE IT!

I structured the cover of my "Presentation for the Hawaii Home Seller) with the picture I used on ActiveRain for my header (The Bird of Paradise is from my mom's back yard in Mililani so it MEANS something to me. A home is where family is, right?) and just my info at the bottom.

Each section of my Presentation for the Hawaii Home Seller folder has a document inside a plastic sheet cover and basically the contents held the following:

• Each website (printed on each page with a past listing) I advertise their listing on while explaining the significance of buyers now searching the internet first ...before actually contacting an agent or going to an Open House.
• Century 21 Seller Service Pledge (As a Century 21 agent I will provide the following services etc.)
• My brochure "Things to Consider When Selling Your Hawaii Home"
• Tips for Sellers - Things to do to prepare your house to put on the market.
• Checklist for the Seller - For their own walk through and check off of things that need to be tended to.
• Real Estate Services Directory - With my personal references for service providers.
• Comparative Market Analysis - (with like kind properties in their immediate area) along with printed listings of those sold properties) for our current Hawaii Real Estate Market.
• Property Flyer (designed exclusively for that property by "Sally")
• Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement (Three pages)
• Property Profile Sheets (Two Pages)
• Our Hawaii Association of Realtors - Purchase Contract (Standard Form is 12 pages)
• Seller's Real Property Disclosure Statement (four pages)

The website page inserts are to show that I do more than just enter their listing into our Multiple Listing Service. I go the extra mile. 

The purpose of all the Standard Forms in my presentation book are so that I can briefly explain that I do more than just market their home and I do more than just hold Hawaii Open Houses. I walk them every step of the way throughout the before, during and after marketing period as well as the transaction period  to closing :)

And BEFORE going through my presentation I walked the property with the seller and LISTENED to their needs. I LISTENED to their wants. And we communicated together to come to an agreement for listing. UPDATE:  (We'll sign next Tuesday...same time, same place)    We signed this morning and they must have been working since I left yesterday because it's almost ready to go! 

Cleaning did matter after all didn't it?  The epiphany. Out with the old...in with the new :)
