If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, but wanted to wait to list it until the housing market recovered, you’re in luck. Home sales are up, and buyers are chomping at the bit to purchase a great home that fits their needs - Perhaps one just like yours! I’ve enclosed a one-page flyer brimming with current statistics about recent home sales and reasons that sellers put their homes on the market. Whether you wish to upsize to a larger home, downsize to a smaller one or live in a new neighborhood or area, now is a great time to sell!

I am your partner

I wish to be your partner for your home selling

and/or buying needs. I will spend time

identifying your wants and needs while educating

you about today’s real estate market.

If you are selling your home, I will work with you

to put together a detailed marketing plan so that

we can price properly and market to the right

buyers.

As a buyer, I will investigate areas and provide

you with everything you need to make a great

buying decision.

Why Choose

ME and MY TEAM?

Page 8: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

When an inquiry comes into

the office on your home, it will

go to ME and MY TEAM since

we are the most qualified to

answer any questions for

potential buyers.

Sign and Ad Calls…

Page 9: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

Those important inquiries go to any

agent that answers the phone

resulting in several concerns:

-How qualified is that agent?

- Does that agent have another listing they would rather

sell?

You will never have these concerns

at Atlanta Communities!

At Some Firms

Page 10: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

• This property transaction is controlled by you and I.

•At other firms the manager decides where the property will be marketed and how

often it will be showcased in advertising.

•This is not the case at Atlanta Communities.

Page 17: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

You may wonder about the alphabet-soup acronyms that real estate

agents use after their names. What do they mean?

Designations

Page 18: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

Nothing contributes to success more than professional education.

Through countless continuing education classes I have achieved many of the designation courses which

separates me from other real estate agents

The Key To Success

Page 19: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

When I spend time talking about all of the things Atlanta Communities and I can offer, I find it just as important to talk about what

I am not.

One Thing I am Not

Page 20: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

At some firms the agents get compensated residual income for recruiting agents to the

company.

Here’s the problem…

I’m Not A Profit Sharing Firm

Page 21: Why You Should List With Marcia Todd

Does that agent care more about getting you the best price OR recruiting the buyer agent to

their down line?

Do you see the conflict?

When An Offer Comes In
