20. Key Market FactorsKey Marketing Factors
How long does it take to sell a property? Some properties may sell in
several days, others may take several months. By recognizing some key
factors that influence marketing a home, you can gain significant control
over market time.
Proper balance of these factors will accelerate the sale of your
property:
Price
In today’s competitive market, price above all is the single greatest factor
in expediting the sale of your property.
Location
The old adage of “Location, location, location” is still valid in today’s
market. It is an important factor which will affect your property’s value.
Competition
Buyers will compare your property with others in the area to determine the
market value. Buyers interpret value based on available properties in the
market.
Condition
A property’s condition will affect your property’s value. Optimizing
physical appearance maximizes value.
Terms & Incentives
By strengthening terms and incentives, you will not only increase your pool
of potential buyers, but also sell your home at the highest possible price.
Timing
Your motivation for selling your property is a critical component in the
pricing and marketing of your home. Another determining factor is whether
it is a buyers’ or seller’s market.
Your Keyes associate will work with you to analyze this and create a
program specifically designed for your needs. Market conditions cannot
be manipulated; an individually-tailored marketing plan of action must be
developed for each property
954-752-1986 d u p r e e @ d u p r e e t e a m . c o m
21. The Importance of Strategic Pricing
Determining the best competitive listing price can be one of the most challenging aspects of selling a
property. It is also one of the most important. If your property is listed at a price that is above market
value, you will lose potential buyers.
As Figure 1 illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value.
The percentage increases as the price falls even further below market value. Therefore, by competitively
pricing your property, you will expose it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers; thus
increasing your chances for a sale while also ensuring a final sale price that properly reflects the market
value of your home.
Timing is another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing your home. A property attracts the most
attention, excitement and interest from potential buyers and the real estate community when it is first
listed on the market. Therefore, your home has the highest chances of selling when it is fresh on the
market and the price is reasonably established. (See Figure 2)
We give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the market and on pricing, financing,
terms and the condition of competing properties. These are the key factors in getting your property sold
quickly at the best price and with minimum hassle.

22. Pricing Your Propety to SellPricing Your Property to Sell
Pricing your property competitively is critical to sell your property in a timely manner and at the
highest price possible. Current market conditions determine the value.
Incorrectly pricing your property can cost you time and money. Realistic pricing will achieve a
maximum sale price in a reasonable amount of time.
“When you hire us, we will immediately get to work
implementing our strategic pricing plan to sell your
property.”
General Guidelines…
Let’s review some important considerations. There are certain factors that are within our control and
others that are not. Those factors outside of our control are the following: the location, the square footage,
improvements and the amenities in place. The factors we can manage are the following: the overall
appearance of the property, how aggressively we market the property and the price, including terms and
incentives. As we agree to accept these outside factors that are beyond our control, we commit to focus
on pricing and preparation.
Local Market Observations…
Given today’s interest rates and large numbers of motivated buyers, now is the time to list and sell your
property.
Suggested Price Strategy…
My analysis of the comparable properties suggests a list price range of $----- to $-----. This will achieve
our primary goal... the sale of your property in the shortest period of time.

MarketingMarketing
The traditional model for real estate has one agent trying to be all things to all people. The general practitioner provides
all of the necessary services alone, thus serving only a small number of clients at a time. This business model allows for
limited service at its best. Our team structure for real estate places you, the client, in the center of our operation, with a
specialist serving you during each phase of your real estate transaction.
We are unique and different from other real estate firms. Our company is comprised of a team of specialists who each
perform a different task in serving our clients. Every member of our team goes above and beyond to do whatever it takes
to satisfy and delight. We drop everything to get paperwork to your home. We bring you keys when you lock yourself out.
However, we don’t consider this unusual or out of the ordinary — it’s what friends do for friends.

ReferencesOur Clients Speak for Us
“You are great people and you have made buying my first property in Florida “a walk in the sun.”
-Maria Defalco
“We found the entire staff experience in working with The DuPree Team to be exceptional. From the initial market assessment, to the marketing of
our home, to the final closing, we found The DuPree Team to be very knowledgeable and easy to work with as they helped us to sell our home in an
extremely difficult market. We would highly recommend The DuPree Team.”
-Edward & Elaine Wilkening
“Everyone was enthusiastic, professional, and positive. The DuPree Team met our expectations in every way. They thoroughly understand the real
estate market in South Florida... All the DuPree Team is very enthusiastic, courteous, and hardworking. They always answer their phone! The closing
specialists made that process problem free. All in all, a most positive experience in a mediocre housing market.”
-Raul &Mary Romero
“I can’t imagine a more professional, knowledgeable or dedicated real estate team than The DuPree Team. It made a usually stressful experience seem
easy. Also when we had nearly lost all hope of finding what we were really looking for, Marta DuPree was able to match us up with the perfect property.
No one knows Parkland better!”
-Judith & Alfredo Ramos
“Team is the key word - everyone working together! Helped us reach a realistic price and sold in one week because of the tremendous amount of
exposure. We thank you all!”
-Marlene Peritzmam
“The Team really works together as a team trying their very best in getting things done in a satisfactory manner. Their goal is to represent Keyes as best as
they can and to satisfy the seller in getting the best price for the home! It’s not only a business but a close relationship between seller and realtor. We truly
have been pleased with The DuPree Team.”
-Marion & Al Shoostine
