Pricing your property
Determining the right price for your property is the most critical step in ensuring you get the highest return on your investment in the least amount of time. MLS statistics show that the longer a home is on the market, the lower the sales price. So my job is to help you set the right price from the start, and to position your property so it stands out in the market.
The market value of your home is what buyers are willing to pay in today’s market conditions. Our goal is to determine its market value and set the price accordingly.
DANGERS OF PRICING ABOVE MARKET VALUE:
■ Your true target buyers may not see your property because it’s listed out of their price range.
■ The buyers in the higher price point may compare your home to other homes at that price and consider it a bad value.
■ It may sit on the market longer and sell for less than asking price, while you continue to pay ownership costs and can’t move on with your life.
Here’s how I’ll help you successfully price and position your property for the highest return:
■ Analyze current market conditions and sales prices of comparable properties
■ Discuss your goals and needs
■ Advise you about ways to make your property more attractive to buyers
■ Create a comprehensive marketing plan targeting the most likely buyers
■ Market your property to other agents, and get their feedback on its price and presentation
■ Keep you up-to-date on sales activity and market conditions
You can be assured that my experience and understanding of the marketplace will help you get the best price possible in the shortest
time.

Market Preparation Guide
Market Preparation Guide
Properly preparing your home for sale is one of the best ways to make a favorable impression that will help it sell more quickly and for the best price. I can help you stage your home or refer you to an accredited staging professional. But there are a lot of things you can do yourself, both before and during showings, to improve its appeal.
BEFORE SHOWINGS:
■ Turn on all interior lights, even during the day, and exterior lights at night.
■ Make the temperature comfortable—approximately 68 degrees.
■ Keep pets in a separate area, and change litter boxes daily.
■ Put money and other valuables away and out of sight.
■ Keep curtains, drapes and shades open.
■ Open all doors inside the home, except closets.
DURING SHOWINGS:
■ A buyer will likely spend more time previewing your home if you’re not there.
■ If you can’t leave the home, try to stay out of the way, and keep children quiet and out of the way.
■ Don’t precede or follow potential buyers through your home.
■ Let the sales associate show and sell your home.

TIMING THE MARKET
TIMING THE MARKET
A commonly asked question is, “Is there a best time to put your home on the market?”
The answer is “Yes.”
The best time to market your home is exactly when you are ready.
What is important is to have a good game plan and time for preparation. When you are ready, I will be there to assist you with information that will help you get the greatest return on your investment.
I CAN HELP:
■ Assess how much your home is worth.
■ Provide information on how long homes in your price range have been on the market.
■ Prepare your home for showings … and for selling.
Let’s talk about your personal goals and current market conditions to determine when the time is right for you.
CONTROLLED ACCESS
CONTROLLED ACCESS
Easy access for buyers to see the interior of your home increases marketability and shortens market time. For added security, we use mobile-activated key boxes to provide access to your home. This allows:
■ The ability to control times that people are allowed in.
■ Only real estate agents in good standing to have access.
■ The tracking of agents as they show the home.
■ For me to obtain immediate feedback from agents who have shown the home.
Security, safety and traceability offer real peace of mind.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
There is a reason that some adages become old … because they are so true.
Statistically we know that 89 percent* of the people searching online for homes want to see photos, photos and more photos. In order to make the best first impression, we display only professional photography that will appeal to as many buyers as possible.
The premise is simple. Give buyers the information they want and it will prompt action.

MARKETING FLYERS AND SIGNAGE
Selling your property means the careful orchestration of advertising, marketing and public relations. My goal is to reach precisely the right target audience through key local and national contacts.
One way to achieve this goal is to pique interest with the full-color marketing materials I use to showcase your home. Whether I am presenting your information in a postcard mailing to the neighborhood or in an informative flyer, each piece will exude quality and professionalism.
Another way is to display a Windermere yard sign, which for over four decades has become synonymous with quality listings.
What better way to tell the story of your home?
OPEN HOUSES
OPEN HOUSES
One powerful way to create traffic and exposure for your home is by holding open houses.
■ 50 percent of buyers report using open houses as an important information source when looking for a home.*
■ Open Houses also create “buzz” in the neighborhood.
■ 33 percent of buyers found yard signs to be a very useful source when searching for homes to purchase.*
This really is a case where seeing is believing.
*National Association of REALTORS® 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers
THE IMPORTANCE OF BROKERS OPENS
According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2016 Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers, 34 percent of the buyers heard about the home they bought from a real estate agent. It only makes sense to make sure real estate agents are aware of the features and benefits of your property.
Inviting agents to tour your home as soon as it comes on the market is a great way to:
■ Market your home to agents with qualified buyers
■ Generate “buzz” in the industry
■ Get valuable feedback from local professionals
It's just one more way in which I can leverage my connections with real estate professionals to sell your home quickly and for the best price.

Considerations for
TITLE REVIEW
In order to properly prepare your home to go on the market, we will order a title report from a reputable title company.
Among other things, these reports will assist with information about:
■ Unforeseen liens or judgments.
■ Boundary disputes.
■ Unresolved title issues.
■ Easements and covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs).
A buyer has the future in mind when they buy a house, but with homeownership comes the need to protect the property against the past as well. A title report will provide peace of mind for all parties involved.

Guiding you through
THE INSPECTION
Home inspections are a critical part of the home buying and selling process.
Inspections take the mystery out of selling your home and may make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there. By making repairs and disclosing the home’s condition to a prospective buyer before negotiations begin, you can create an atmosphere of good faith and instill confidence about your home's condition. This, in turn, may help sell your home faster and closer to your listing price. I can help you:
■ Find a reputable inspector and home repair contractors.
■ Prepare for when unknown problems are discovered.
■ Review inspection options.
■ Negotiate fair and appropriate solutions, if necessary.
A home inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight into the condition of the home, thereby helping to reduce the overall listing time of your property.

SEPTIC & WELL ISSUES
Because well and septic systems can be expensive to replace, every knowledgeable buyer will want to know the condition of the well and septic systems of a home they are considering buying. A septic and well inspection can yield useful information on the condition of these systems.
A well inspection will focus on three key items:
■ Well system
■ Water quantity
■ Water quality
A septic inspection will focus on:
■ Tanks and pipes
■ Drain fields
■ Systems conditions
I can help you determine if a pre-inspection is warranted prior to putting your home on the market.

Wayne Martin
Broker / Owner of Windermere NorCal Properties
Wayne started his Real Estate Career at a young age working with his father and uncle in their construction companies. He got his real estate license at 22 working for a local Shasta County Real Estate Office. At the same time, he was building spec homes and continuing to work as a general contractor.
In 1981, Wayne moved to the Monterey Peninsula. Over the years, he became a builder-developer. He built single family custom homes, sub-divisions, medical and commercial buildings. He owned and operated hotels and apartment buildings.
In 1996 he and his wife, Freddie, moved to the Sacramento area where Wayne got his real estate broker’s license. Freddie joined him in the business in 1998 and they started Real Estate 1. They opened a mortgage company in conjunction with their real estate brokerage. Within a few years, they were selling 100+ homes per year.
In 2003, they tired of the congestion in the Sacramento area and moved to Shasta County to work in the Real Estate 1 office in Redding with their daughter, Denise.
In 2011, they decided to become a Windermere franchise because of the many marketing benefits for their clients.
Because of his in-depth knowledge of real estate, construction, finance and negotiation, along with his friendly and focused attention to his client’s needs and goals, Wayne’s clients have a “leg up” over the competition when either selling or purchasing real estate.
Wayne’s dedication to serving through teaching and educating numerous professional peers, along with his outstanding sales achievements, earned him the prestigious Shasta Association of Realtors-Realtor of the Year Award in 2007.
For fun, Wayne leads Porsche driving tours throughout Northern California in his spare time. Wayne is the elected President of the Porsche Club of America, Shasta Region.

They decided to move to Shasta County in 2003 to join their daughter in a real estate brokerage. Over the years they have helped thousands of people realize their dreams of homeownership. They worked with their clients to sell their homes for the highest price in the least amount of time and with the least amount of challenges. They also have experience selling land, investment and commercial properties. In 2011 the Martins decided to become a Windermere Franchise office because of the many marketing and servicing benefits the company brought to their clients.
The Martins are involved in community projects and give generously to various non-profit organizations. A portion of every commission goes to the Windermere Foundation that has contributed over $33 million since 1989 to organizations benefiting women and children.
In 2009 Freddie was honored to receive the prestigious Shasta County Realtor of the Year award.
Wayne and Freddie have five children and seven grandchildren.
Freddie’s hobbies include creating mosaics and painting pictures of friend’s pets. She also loves to dance, workout, garden, hike and spend quality time with her many friends.
