9. Expertise by The Shore HOME
Local Expertise, World-Class Results
When presented with the option of going with a national brokerage or a local firm
consider how important it is to have someone representing you immersed in the very
community in which you live.
Consider the facts…
When we think about how people are finding Real Estate information, we know that the
Internet is one of the first places they turn.
90% of Home Buyers and Sellers Begin Their Search Online
Taking this into consideration, the reality is that the Internet has leveled the playing
field. In a Google Search of “New Jersey Shore Real Estate” less than 10% of all
organic search results were national brokers.
Real estate is local, you need local expertise.

12. Testimonials HOME
“Our home in Bradley Beach went under contract three days after listing with Patrick Parker.
In this market, there are many steps to getting to sold, and each of these steps
could lead to complications which could result in losing the sale.
Patrick managed the process the entire way and proactively addressed each upcoming step
with extreme knowledge and professionalism. He was easily accessible during
the entire sales process and was an absolute pleasure to work with.”
- Steve Hoberman
Seller
Working with Patrick Parker was a great experience.
From the moment we inquired about the property to closing the deal,
the response was extremely quick and easy.
There is absolutely no comparison to the excellent service we received…
it was a real pleasure!
I genuinely look forward to working with you again in the future.

23. About MLS BACK
MLS stands for Multiple Listing System. These are privately owned databases on
which properties are listed. It is the most popular Home Sales database.
Listing your home on the MLS through me can mean that you deal with two of the
most important areas of home selling in one step; not only will you be able to keep
more money from the sale for yourself, you will also have a potentially wider market as
far as buyers.

…Generating Qualified Inbound Leads
In sum, what does this mean to you?
Greater exposure and engagement of potential buyers through calculated tactics
will draw buyers to Patrick Parker Realty and, ultimately, your listing.
34. Forward Thinking Strategy… BACK
…Mobile Marketing
I understand the importance of implementing a creative,
targeted and impactful mobile marketing strategy that will
help generate quality buyers and maximize exposure for
your house.
Real estate text marketing service generating leads for
industry professionals. Buyers access listings
(Photos, Videos, Maps and more) from their cell phones
using SMS, real estate QR codes and mobile web
technology.
35. Forward Thinking Strategy… BACK
…QR Codes
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a specific matrix barcode that
is readable by dedicated QR readers and smartphones.
When you scan or read a QR code with your iPhone, Android or other camera-enabled
Smartphone, you can link to digital content on the web; activate a number of
phone functions including email, IM and SMS; and connect the mobile device to
a web browser.
When a potential buyer scans the QR code associated with your listing they will
automatically receive details, information and engaging content surrounding
your listing.
Ultimately, this forward thinking strategy will help maximize the effectiveness of your
overall marketing campaign. By including QR codes on your lawn signs, marketing
literature, print ads and more; qualified buyers will be further engaged and drawn to
pursue your listing. In the end, your QR codes will encourage that next action step
that is another step closer to purchase.

37. Traditional & Proven Strategy… BACK
…Print Advertising
Because of my understanding of Real Estate Marketing Trends, I know that most
properties are sold as a result of Online Marketing, the MLS, specialty sites such at
REALTOR.com, Homes & Land Online and their respective affiliates and direct mail.
Print Advertising, however, remains a staple in your marketing mix.
Creating the Greatest Impact
Homes & Land Magazine is the most popular and widely read Marketing listings
Consider each prospective purchaser who sees your listing via any real estateMedium

that promote real real estateour local and surrounding areas.
For that reason, though Patrick Parker Realty has found Print Advertising to yield
lesser results than other methods, the “impression” still counts. So your listing will
appear in Homes & Land Print, The Real Estate Book and The Asbury Park Press.
This additional “impression,” when integrated with each online
mention, postcard, email or personal contact, makes your listing that much more
memorable!
38. Your Marketing Action Plan BACK
As your strategic partner, everything I learn about your goals and objectives will go
into creating a customized marketing action plan that will provide you with a clear
idea of what will be done to attract the most potential, qualified buyers.
Your plan will include such features as…
Entry into Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
Listing presence on the Patrick Parker Realty website
Realtor.com Enhanced Listing exposure
Homes & Land Online advertising
Extensive Online Marketing and Social Media Marketing
Visual market presence with highly recognizable Patrick Parker Realty lawn signs
Mobile Marketing lawn sign integration
Targeted local and regional print advertising with QR code integration
Scheduling and hosting broker and public open houses
Direct mailing of customized “Just Listed” mailers
Custom property and neighborhood brochures
Dedicated Marketing Department
40. Through The Eyes of Buyers HOME
I will develop a custom tailored home enhancement plan that can make a difference
in how quickly your home sells and the price you can obtain.
• Focus on how buyers see your property
• Leverage ideas from my exclusive Home Enhancement Guide
• Identify enhancements that can pay for themselves in stronger offers from buyers
41. Home Enhancement Checklist HOME
Exterior comes to understanding what’s important to you as you embark on selling
When it
Keep property,
your grass mowed, shrubs trimmed
Pick up lawn tools, toys, sweep front walkway
Clean up after pets
Interior
Pick up toys and shoes; make beds, put clothes away
Prepare tables with flowers and place settings; set out a game or “coffee table” book
Turn off the television; play soft background music
Tidy up bathrooms; set out show towels
Open drapes and shades, turn on lights, make house look bright and cheerful
Do a quick dusting and give the carpets a once-over with the vacuum; straighten rugs;
empty wastebaskets
Keep pets out of the way; make sure all pet areas are clean and free of odor
Special tips for showings
Secure jewelry, cash, medications and other valuables
Leave while your house is being shown
If people who are not accompanied by an agent ask to see your property, please refer
them to me; I will pre-screen them
43. Competitive Market Analysis HOME
The best price can only be determined by testing the market and challenging the
competition. The market dictates the value based on current conditions, number of
home buyers, etc.
Buyers do “comparison shopping” and the Competitive Market Analysis focuses on
properties on the market competing for buyer attention.
A Competitive Market Analysis will provide you with the information you need to
determine the present value of your home. The properties used for comparison
come from current listings and recent sales in your own neighborhood.
Your personal market analysis will contain detailed listing information from the
comparable properties and any special financing or terms known.
44. The Benefit of Right Pricing HOME
Right Pricing clearly works to the benefit of the home seller by resulting in a premium
selling price in the shortest marketing time.
I will help you price your house right the first time!
• Promote buyer and agent interest
• Generate home-viewings
• Create a sense of urgency
• Set the stage for multiple purchase offers during
the first 60 days of marketing
• Purchase offers tend to be higher in relation to
asking price
• Puts you in firm control of price negotiations
• Likely to result in a higher home selling price in a
shorter time period

46. Negotiation Strategy HOME
Negotiation is, a complex process, which goes beyond just numbers, details and
data collection. A skillful negotiator deals with various aspects, from running in-
depth cost analyses to determining how to deal with a specific party.
Part of my commitment to you is to deliver the refined negotiating skills I’ve
learned from experience.
In order to maintain the strongest negotiating position, I recommend that you do not
discuss the following information with any buyers or other real estate agents.
• Reason/Urgency for selling
• Willingness to consider an offer less than listing price
• Financing terms you would accept
• Personal property you might be willing to include
• Timing and benefits from your receive from Patrick Parker Realty
• Any other confidential information
