Dear: ???????
The real estate market is much different today than it was a month ago or even last week.
Government intervention, new economic data and the ever-increasing focus on housing
in the media have made selling your home a different task than it ever was before. Thank
you for inviting me to share in the conversation.
Coldwell Banker Hearthside, Realtors® and I have worked hard to remain leaders in the
local real estate market; helping families throughout the area realize maximum value for
their homes in a reasonable period of time. I look forward to the opportunity to do the
same for you.
The presentation I have prepared includes a comprehensive market analysis that, while
not to be considered an official appraisal, is one of the best tools available for us as we
determine the market value and pricing for your home. Additionally, this presentation
will present statistics on the market behavior of today’s buyers and sellers while also
highlighting our relocation affiliations, including our relationship with CARTUS
Corporation, the leading provider of relocation services in the United States according to
Relocation Times magazine.
While I look forward to continuing the conversation I also feel confident that the
information included on me and Coldwell Banker Hearthside, Realtors® confirms we are
the best firm to represent your home in the ever-changing real estate marketplace. Know
that I am eager to put my skill and expertise to work for you, which is why I have also
included a copy of our standard listing agreement at the end of this presentation.
Sincerely,
On behalf of all the ownership team, the management and the agents of Coldwell Banker Hearthside
please allow us to thank you for the opportunity to explain why we feel our value proposition is the one
that will benefit you most as you sell one of your most important investments.
In this unique real estate environment, the team who offers the most in the way of top-quality marketing
tools and competitive services is the one you should trust with your business. With the support of the
strongest real estate brand in the nation, Coldwell Banker Hearthside offers a tremendous array of
services to the owners of homes in every price category and geographic area. Our model has been tested
time and time again since we started this company in 1991, and it has held true against challenges from
many limited-service providers during that time.
Our affiliation with Cartus™ Corporation – one of the largest single providers of relocation services in
the world – means that Coldwell Banker Hearthside agents are working with relocating employees in
almost every market we serve. Over the last several years we have been recognized by this company as
one of their top-five Platinum brokerages, a reward that pays dividends for our agents within a system
where more than 100,000 employees are transferred annually.
As you will see in the pages that follow, the Internet consumer has become a driving force behind market
change. Our company has studied this consumer thoroughly, and with the assistance of firms
throughout the nation has put together a top-tier internet services team to maximize our ability to
market homes online. The studies also show, however, that these consumers value the local knowledge
of a Realtor, which is why each of our offices is comprised of the industry’s best agents.
Having formed key relationships with mortgage, title and insurance providers, as well as having created
one of the strongest Coldwell Banker Concierge programs in the nation, we feel we also can offer
“one-stop shopping” that is far superior to what many other firms advertise
.
We hope you will realize through the material presented in this package that Coldwell Banker
Hearthside offers you the important resources necessary to sell your home in the shortest time possible.
We look forward to adding you to our list of clients who have realized that at Coldwell Banker...We
never stop moving.™
