Welcome to The Bellevue Block!It is our pleasure to present you with this personalized guide to selling your property. We have

earned our reputation for excellence in real estate marketing and client service through being

Faster, Better and Smarter in the passionate way we list townhomes and condominiums. We

invite you to experience our definition of real estate.

Page 4: Bellevue condo seller book

The real estate industry, as a whole is changing rapidly. The

days of the general practitioner are vanishing and recent studies

predict that 97% of the business will soon be handled by only

3% of the agents. These elite agents are approaching the real

estate business in an entirely different manner. They understand

that consumers today expect and deserve a higher level of service

and accountability and at a rapid pace. Top agents recognize that

the best way to provide this level of service is through a team of

specialists.

In that same vein, Cherie lang and luke Dunckley’s passion

for excellence and heart for serving their clients led them to

establish The Bellevue Block Team. recruiting a dynamic team of

creative and highly skilled professionals and brokers has allowed

them to create an organization that thrives on challenges and

exceeding clients’ expectations, specifically for the townhome

and condominium property homeowner.

It’s been 50 years in the making…. The Bellevue Block real Estate Team with Windermere. My parents, Fred and lorainne lang, started as custom builders back in the late 1950’s, so you could say that I literally grew up in the building industry. I have been the listing agent on 25 new

construction plats, resale properties, condominiums and townhomes. I have a reputation as a strong listing agent and negotiator and have had the pleasure of closing nearly 1000 transactions for satisfied clients. I love living and working on the eastside. My husband and I live in Bellevue in a high rise condominium ourselves.

About 5 years ago, when my children were raised, I no longer felt the need for the large home and its maintenance. I was especially enamored with Bellevue. A new chapter was to begin. I soon fell in love with city life, the ease of walking everywhere, convenient access to 520 and I-90, the restaurants, movies, coffee shops, shopping, just endless activities all at my fingertips. But I noticed that something was missing.

While pursuing a condo for myself, I discovered that there were no “go to” realtors® specializing in this niche market with insider information on urban living homeownership. I began researching and becoming an expert on the newer buildings under construction,

as well as existing buildings. There was so much to know! Homeowner dues and what they cover. Monetary reserves in each building, financing options, which buildings are FHA approved and why some are not, pets, parking, resale certificates, public offering statements and the list just got longer of the items that are “standard” for condominiums and townhomes! So my son and associate, luke Dunckley, and I, developed TheBellevueBlock.com real estate website as a resource for downtown living for condo and townhome properties. It is unmatched in providing answers and general information about this niche market.

luke is a Broker Associate, and has been a significant part of the success of our team for the past 8 years. Together we bring 26 years of expertise to our clients. luke and his wife and family also live in downtown Bellevue. Your listing will come alive through his expertise and degree earned in Graphic Design. He coordinates and directs the professional photographer used for your photos, orchestrates the staging of your home for optimum appeal, custom designs many of the marketing materials and is very tech and website savvy in exposing your listing to its optimum potential. Because luke Dunckley and I live in downtown Bellevue, we are able at a moment’s notice, to accommodate buyers who may be interested in viewing your home.

Faster. Better. Smarter. We are specialized Realtors® in listing condominiums and townhomes. We want to use our expertise to move you!

Getting Personal

A Dream Come True

Faster. Better. Smarter.

How can we claim to be Faster. Better. Smarter? And just what does that mean?Faster. There’s a term in real estate found within the contract that says “time is of the essence”. It’s true. We’re not just

referring to how quickly we respond to your inquiries or phone calls, although that is a priority. We’re talking getting

your home sold FAST. We do our homework diligently so you have all the numbers and stats you need to price your

home correctly for this market when it’s listed, it’s priced competitively. If it isn’t priced right, it will go S-l-o-W.

Slow in this case is not a good thing. Slow means longer days on market, and longer days on market means lower

offers from the clock-watching buyers.

Better. As the leader of the Bellevue Block real Estate Team, I bring you 18 years’ experience with Windermere. Prior

to that time I was employed by United Airlines and served in customer service. This was when working for an airline

meant respect, loyalty, extreme care in customer satisfaction. It stuck with me. It’s a learned skill. We have it. We want

you to be treated better than other realtors® treat you. We want to have better brochures, better negotiating skills,

better customer communication, better presentation of your home with staging materials, better turnout by our

network of agents at your open house because we give them Starbuck gift certificates for coming by. Better is

just, Better!

Smarter. This part is an ongoing process. It involves employing professionals, the best in their field to do things that

bring your listing supreme exposure. So we hire a photographer who specializes in photographing real estate, the

greatest web guy we’ve ever found who’s Internationally minded, a marketing coach recognized in the real estate

industry by prestigious awards, cutting edge tech savvy consultants, and that’s just for starters! We stay current and

involved in what’s going on in the real estate market, which includes previewing properties. We connect with economic

forecasts both locally and nationally. We study where your buyer will come from so we can target the most likely

party to purchase it.

When you work with the team at The Bellevue Block

When you work with us, you can relax and be assured we are handling everything! our entire team will

be devoted to serving you and you will never be “just another listing”. You won’t get passed along to a

branch office, to someone’s voice mail without asking, or to a secretary that knows very little about your

property. It is likely that whomever takes your call in our office will be able to help you immediately.

our service is personal and singular. We’ll ask questions to understand your priorities and goals. We know

from years of experience, that every Seller has a special request. We’re very tuned in to what you need

that we are proud to list and sell.

We want to be remembered as the realtors® that

went out of their way to make your transaction a

memorable one. Perhaps we checked on your home

for you and watered the plants while you were

away. Met a delivery for you when it wasn’t

convenient for you to do so yourself. It’s all in a

day’s work for us, it is our pleasure to go above and

beyond for you. What do you need? We will just

make it happen!

Page 9: Bellevue condo seller book

The traditional model for real estate has one agent trying to be all things to all people. The other extreme has you dealing with a team so large that you rarely speak to the person you’ve hired to represent you. We have a productive solution to these models of service.

In order for us to be FASTER. BETTER. SMARTER, we are unique and different from other real estate firms. We feel we’ve hit the happy medium. For those important items, like photography, direct mail marketing, website updates, we employ professionals top in their fields who are an integral part of our team. This enables us to focus our time with you personally. our time is spent with you fielding questions, strategizing, problem solving when necessary.

We focus on:• Networking with other agents who may have buyers• Attracting buyers through our databases• Prequalifying potential buyers• Personally showing potential buyers your property• Executing our promised marketing plan• Hosting your open houses personally• Negotiating top dollar for your home• orchestrating the immediate receipt to the buyer of your resale certificate• Advising on the home inspection items• Giving attention to the buyer’s timely financing and appraisal process by the lender• Checking for clear title• Focusing on escrow’s timely document receipt for prompt closing

Getting StartedFrom your very first phone call and beyond,

we’ll show you we are committed to serving you 100%.

Here’s what we’ll do for you in preparation for your listing.

10

Page 13: Bellevue condo seller book

11

Preview property. Prepare a detailed property description. This enables us to prepare the most effective

brochures possible to market your property.

Taking professional photography. If a picture is worth a thousand words, we think good pictures of

your property are worth thousands of dollars.

Prepare a market analysis and pricing strategy. one of the many ways we help you arrive at a fair

price for your property is to look at the prices of similar properties in your area that have sold as well as

the current competition. We provide statistical data such as average sales-versus-list price percentages,

average length of market time, seasonality of sales, location demand and a host of other factors that will

help you arrive at the best market price for your property.

Offer suggestions to maximize your salability. Sometimes small changes make a big impact. Through

our vast experience, we will give you advice on how to put your property in the condition it needs to

be, ensuring an optimum sales price in your favor. With your permission, we will coordinate staging of

your home to show like a model.

Discuss financing options. Some of the offers you entertain may contain terms other than cash. We can

explain how sometimes being creative and considering other options may be to your benefit. We will

be putting together a financing option brochure to have in your home that lists the different lender

opportunities for your potential buyer and your particular building approvals.

The Preparation

Faster, Better, Smarter Preparation

Page 14: Bellevue condo seller book

We have all your files and emails electronically saved. We know how important it is to keep things in order and at

our fingertips to help things run smoothly for our clients. So not only do we have a paper file on your listing, we also

have all correspondence in electronic format.

Making extra keys. We always keep a spare in our office to give access to agents, appraisers, inspectors and other

professionals required.

Install electronic lockboxes (when appropriate). our lockboxes provide maximum security for our sellers.

Placing a yard sign and installing a brochure box. When signs are permitted, we attach brochure boxes with

information about your property.

Handling all showings with care. We either stage the home in advance, meet and escort the showing agent and their

clients, or have specific instructions detailed to avoid inconvenience and ill-timed showings.

Showing Suite. This is a unique format that automatically emails us each time that an agent accesses your listing to

preview or show a prospective client. It gives them an opportunity for feedback should they wish to comment.

Showing Suite: Previewed your property today for my Buyer flying in Friday, I think they will love the place! Shows well.

Faster, Better, Smarter Preparation

Gather all pertinent documents. These include preliminary title, property disclosures and more. Since in

most cases the resale certificate has a shelf life of 180 days, we generally order that immediately upon mutual

acceptance. But be assured, we hand deliver the request from the management company and pick it up as a

courtesy to you, our seller, when there’s a time crunch.

Prepare an inventory of furnishings. If you include any furnishings with the purchase, we’ll complete an

inventory for you. For contract purposes, having an inventory eliminates misunderstandings.

Order preliminary title. Your title must be marketable, and this allows us to handle any clouds which may

be revealed.

Obtaining mortgage information. We will know if your loan is assumable, and we will receive an

approximate payoff. We will also provide you with an estimated seller’s net proceeds statement based on this

information, at your request.

Procuring seller disclosures, Form 17. These are required by the State of Washington and will be your

representation to the potential buyer as to the condition and size of your property.

Page 16: Bellevue condo seller book

It is our opinion that if a sign and an ad in the paper would sell your property, you would not need us

at all. Most buildings don’t allow signs. Even if they did, signs in themselves do not create excitement

about your property. When you hire a listing Broker, you expect a professional marketing plan of

action and the ability to achieve results. We prefer to use a laser sharp approach, where we determine

who the most likely buyers are for your property and target the majority of our efforts to attract those

particular buyers.

Print Marketing — High Touch

Consumers in the marketplace still prefer to touch and feel print marketing, especially when they

are in the market to buy… and especially if it survives the 3-second rule (does not hit the trash

can upon first glance). The Bellevue Block consults regularly with the real estate marketing guru

company that is two-time winner of the overall Marketing Excellence Award. It’s in a class of

its own!

Cherie and luke take real estate marketing seriously.

Faster, Better, Smarter Marketing

We bel ieve that e f fect ive

marketing encompasse s many

di f ferent mediums. While our

print marketing continues to be

recognized and acc laimed, we are

acute ly aware that the changing

consumer now demands high tech

along with high touch.

The quality of our marketing is known and appreciated throughout the city.

our standard for our listings of your property are always custom designed

on high quality paper showcasing words that flow and several pictures to lure

Just Listed Postcards or Open House Invitations

Since many buildings do not allow public open houses, we get around that by

sending attractive “just listed” postcards that showcase your home, complete

with all the desirable amenities and your own web address.

In some cases, when the building allows it, we have the

open house invitation.

International marketing

our International marketing strategies set us apart from the rest of our competition. We have a full-time

web and marketing specialist on our team who determines which web portals are the best formats to

display our listings. He understands how consumers think around the world. He operates out of Singapore,

New York City, and redmond, Washington, and is fluent in English, Chinese and Japanese. He has had huge

success in taking other companies to the top in Internet rankings. His input allows us to sharpen our focus

and market to foreign buyers where they are and according to how they buy.

It is our mission to be the most prominent condominium and townhome website to appear in foreign search

engine portals. With a substantial amount of Bellevue condo buyers coming from outside the U.S. and other

states in the country, we think it is critical to focus our attention on that segment of the market. This gives

our sellers an advantage in selling their properties.

Public ProMotion

We believe “word of mouth is the best source of advertising”.

Here’s how we get the word out:

We hold Public Open Houses. on occasion we will host open houses around special events in peak season.

We talk to the neighbors. We send out property brochures to surrounding home owners announcing your

home on the market. Neighbors are often our best source of referrals.

We talk to our buyers. Through our Buyer Profile System we contact qualified Buyers in our extensive database,

local MlS system, and local and national referral networks.

We network through other vital community

organizations. We all feel that it is important

to give back to the community and in doing

so we often make friends who help us promote

our properties and services.

Page 25: Bellevue condo seller book

23

Here are some of the ways we tap into the power of our fellow co-brokers, ensuring

maximum exposure:

We submit your property to the Multiple listing Service, and follow up with ebroadcasts and

electronic brochures. This gives the other 7000 members of the Board of realtors® all the

information they need to sell your property.

Networking with fellow agents. We not only “talk your property up” to other agents, but we host

open house events with gift certificates to Starbucks to encourage attendance. This provides an

easy opportunity for agents to preview your property, which increases the probability that it will

be shown and sold. We keep track of the agents who’ve shown your property so that if we get an

offer, we can contact them to see if their

buyers also have intentions of making an

offer to purchase your listing.

Communication is an area where many realtors® fall short. In surveys conducted by NAr (National

Association of realtors®), lack of communication from their agent was the #1 complaint from sellers. We are

committed to being proactive in the marketing of your property and to keep you informed throughout the listing

process through systems and our team service.

Here are the ways we communicate with you:

During tHE listing ProcEss... coMMunication is vital

We utilize ShowingSuite.com to obtain feedback from all realtors® that show your property. This provides opinions

and suggestions from other realtors® in the area and includes comments from the potential buyer who is viewing

the property.

We keep you informed through a report every week, either

electronically or over the phone. This seller’s update is

about current previewing or showing appointments and

any feedback by other agents, any homes that may have

recently come on the market nearby, or sold. We keep you

apprised of the marketing plan and how it is progressing.

We make recommendations regarding needed changes to

provide you with savvy strategies to fit the present market,

if necessary. We pay close attention to days on market and

how that applies to your sale.

WHat otHErs HavE to say

“I found Cherie and Luke through their website, TheBellevueBlock.com and even bought my condo site unseen, (except for online photos) with them acting as my Buyer’s representatives. We had many challenges due to my extensive travelling at the time and they coordinated everything with excellence while I was away. I would highly recommend them without hesitation”!

Pavlos TomarasCisco Systems

“Cherie possesses enthusiasm for good customer service and a genuine interest in her clients and what is best for them. It is such a treat to find someone like Cherie to help manage the home selling process. Buying or selling a home is a difficult and stressful event for most people and we would certainly recommend Cherie Lang to anyone who needs the service of qualified Realtor®”.Randy and Sheila JamesFounder, Charter Bank

“Cherie assisted us in the selling of our home and the purchase of our current residence. Her knowledge, dedication, and delightful personality made this experience a very pleasant one. We were absolutely thrilled with her world-class service and attention to details. Cherie is a real go-getter. We always felt confident that we were receiving good information and trusted wholeheartedly that our best interests were always her number one priority”.

Kevin and Donna CronkAccounting, Vulcan Inc.

“I found Cherie and Luke’s real estate services to be superior, by far, to any I had experienced in the past! They were on top of everything. They had constant follow up on showings, marketing and the sale procedures. They really helped me out by packing up most of my belongings as I was experiencing a time crunch at closing.

“My wife and I were neighbors with Cherie at One Lincoln Tower. When we decided to list our property she was our only consideration. She and Luke did a great job on coordinating the staging and negotiating top dollar for us during a very tough market. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell”.
