VOL. I • Issue 12 • April 2016
ORLANDO,F.L.— It’s not the beach,but it’s
still Spring Break! My son Rhett’s Emory Eagles
baseball team isn’t partying in Ft.Lauderdale,
instead they’re competing in the UAATournament
at the historic Sanford Stadium.
Their season began with 3 wins and one loss in
Austin,Texas.I hearAustin is a really cool city but
we watched 4 games in two days,so there was no
time for sight-seeing.We did get to visit with my
husband,Bill’s cousins,Megan and Erin,but only
because they joined us for the last game.
Valentine’s Day we hopped a plane fromAustin to
St.Louis for a quick visit in Columbia with Bill’s
sonTrek and his family.We only see them a couple
times a year,so it was a real treat to roll around
on the floor and play hide-and-seek with Bill’s
grandkids,Finn and Ivy.On our way back to DC
we stopped inAtlanta to catch 4 home games at
Emory.They lost onTuesday but swept the three
game series on Friday and Saturday.Our dear
friend,Fred,joined us on Saturday.
Back to real estate...The week before we head to
Orlando is typically crazy and this year was no
different.On Sunday,my clients bought a property
that had just hit the market.I had several property
showings on Monday,got together with one of my
sellers and her interior designer,and met with home
owners whose house in Cleveland Park had failed to
sell while listed with another agent.
Tuesday night I met with the couple who’d bought
on Sunday about selling their property in Cleveland
Park.I had lunch with a friend onWednesday,
then got together with her later to discuss seeking
a property for her.After lunch,I met with a new
buyer on and looked at her house in Forest Hills
that she may sell.ThenThursday I showed her
some properties.Later,I showed houses to another
new buyer and that night listed a home at the
Cleveland Park Metro.
I showed one of my listings in Cleveland Park
Friday morning and listed my friend’s property in
the afternoon.That evening I showed a house to
another new buyer referred to me.Afterwards,it
was back to the office to meet with a family about
representing them in their home purchase.I forgot
to mention that I squeezed in a haircut.I still
haven’t packed and our flight takes off at 10:00AM
Saturday.
We can’t wait to see Rhett and root for the Eagles to
continue extend their 7 game winning streak.There
will be about 100 family members (mothers,fathers,
brothers,sisters and a handful of grandparents)
from all over the country joining the players.We’ve
made some marvelous friends and it will be a
blast to see them.By the way,my advertising and
branding agency is in nearbyWinter Park,so Bill
and I will be there Monday morning.
Cheers!

The response to my best-seller, “UNcommon,”
was so positive, I’ve decided to write a book to
provide savvy home sellers a proven step-by-step
guide to getting top dollar fast!
Since this may take me a while to complete, I’ve
decided to try something a little bit
different. I’m going to let you look
over my shoulder as I write the book.
Each month in this newsletter, I’ll
publish an excerpt of a chapter in
progress.
That way I can begin sharing valuable
tips right away and you can give me
your feedback. Also, I welcome any
questions you may have about the most
effective home selling strategies, so I
can make sure to include the answers
in the book.
Each and every one of you who is kind enough
to contribute your thoughts will receive a
complimentary copy of the book once it’s
published as my thank you.
So here goes...
Chapter 1:
The Secrets of Wealthy
Home Sellers
Ever wonder why two identical
houses sell for entirely different
prices?
The truth is, similar homes sell
for varying prices all the time. It
takes place all across the country. It
happens in markets large and small.
Get ready to enjoy the sounds of Doc Scantlin
and his Imperial Palms Orchestra once more as
we welcome you to Cleveland and Woodley Park’s
2nd Annual Spring Fling, which is set to take
place at the beautiful Kennedy-Warren. Join us
as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo with great music
and a cocktail reception, thanking the community

helping Neighbors” national movement.
Tickets are $150 per person and a variety of items donated by local
merchants will be available for the fundraising auction. All of the
proceeds from this event will go towards programming and services

Surely there must be some reason!
These houses do not sell for more money by
accident. No magic trick helped one seller get
a better deal than the other. On the contrary,
higher sales prices are the direct result of careful
planning.
However, there are a few secret strategies
deployed by experienced home sellers.
This book reveals secrets wealthy sellers use to
command a higher price for their home.
The following chapters break down those
secrets. See how each strategy translates into
real life examples. Gather the information you’ll
need to put these tactics into action. When
you are ready to sell your next home, you will
be equipped with the secrets of wealthy home
sellers.
Use their strategies to make more money on
your next home sale.
Part 1: Selling for More Money continues with
chapters on...
Chapter 2: The Easiest Way to Sell Your Home for
More Money
Chapter 3: The Second Most Important Thing You

Thanks for taking time to look through this
excerpt and those that follow in upcoming
issues. My sincere hope is that these strategies
will help you make more money on the sale of
your home. If you have any questions, please
don’t hesitate to ask. I’d be glad to help. Just

The Secrets of Wealthy
Home Sellers...
Marjorie represented us in not
only purchasing the new home,
but also for the selling of our
current home. I greatly enjoyed
working with her during that
period of time as well, helping
with the staging and being very
straightforward throughout.
She was direct with us as to what
she thought we needed to do in
order to improve the visual appeal of the home and
what we might get for it, but even while being direct,
she was respectful, nice and easy to get along with.
Most importantly, we did not debate with
Marjorie. We treated her as the person
with the expertise in the area, not us so
when she said our piano and other major
furniture pieces needed to go we didn’t
debate it. We searched for a moving
company, moved the things out and put it
all into storage.
Then we staged the home as Marjorie
suggested and she even took the time to
walk the home afterwards: room by room
by room.
It sold within 48 hours with multiple
offers and we even ended up cancelling
the open house. All I can say is that our house sold
well over the asking price.”
- Mrs. Sabra Klein Maloney
(continued from page 2)
We sold our home the weekend of
Labor Day and thanks to Marjorie’s
suggestions, the buyer gae us
until Feb 1 to move into our new
home.
Happy Home

The Story Weaver: Jesenia
When you communicate with someone on a day-
to-day basis, it truly helps you get to know him
or her better, and helps them get to know you.
Communication can be as simple as a phone
call, an email or as personal as this newsletter!
Ever been curious as to the face behind it all?
Meet our copywriting guru Jesenia Vargas, who
is responsible for weaving together all of the
threads that make up the very newsletter you hold in your hands!
I met Jesenia in 2014 when she became a member of my Orlando-based
marketing team. Her passion for writing stems from her love for the
way words translate into images and ideas, which is why she graduated
from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Creative Writing.
“There is magic in the way words fit together to form an expression.
When you write, you really have to understand how people think and
what they want in order communicate with them in a way they can
understand and build a relationship,” she notes. Whether it’s gathering
information, interviewing partners, or working with Bill and me on
anything we can’t wait to share with each and every one of you, it is easy
to see that mentality reflect in the way she is able to pull all the pieces
together. Her creativity even includes all of the newsletter design work!
“My goal is to make sure people understand Marjorie’s message, whether
it’s educating them on things they may not realize they should know or
opening the door to understanding her passion and commitment to
the community. Just recently, my husband and I were in the process
of looking a home. I could tell right away that the realtor I had was no
Marjorie! It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of patience, and a touch of
finesse to make everything work as smooth as possible... especially with
a 2 year old in tow!” The same can be said for handling the newsletter,
which she expertly helps deliver month after month.
