Why Use
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell & Associates
REALTORS®
All
real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees
who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are
properly called REALTORS®. They proudly
display the REALTOR "®" logo on the business card or other marketing
and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties
to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict
code of ethics and are
expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of
buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that
84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.
Real estate
transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most
people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually
exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you
attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a
$100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of
an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large
downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate
without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®.
1.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can help you determine your
buying power -- that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing
capacity. If you give a REALTOR® some basic information about your
available savings, income and current debt, he or she can refer you
to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders -- banks and
mortgage companies -- offer limited choices.
2. Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS has many resources to assist you in your home
search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not
actively advertised in the market, and it will take some
investigation by your agent to find all available properties.
3.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can assist you in the selection
process by providing objective information about each property.
Agents who are REALTORS® have access to a variety of informational
resources. REALTORS® can provide local community information on
utilities, zoning. schools, etc. There are two things you'll want to
know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a
home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when
I am ready to sell?
4.
Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can help you negotiate. There are myriad
negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing,
terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of
repairs and furnishings or equipment. The purchase agreement should
provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections
and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete
the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations
and inspections are recommended or required.
5.
Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS provides due diligence during the evaluation
of the property. Depending on the area and property, this could
include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty
structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name
a few. Your REALTOR® can assist you in finding qualified responsible
professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you
with written reports. You will also want to see a preliminary report
on the title of the property. Title indicates ownership of property
and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of
access. The title to most properties will have some limitations; for
example, easements (access rights) for utilities. Your REALTOR®,
title company or attorney can help you resolve issues that might
cause problems at a later date.
6.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can help you in understanding
different financing options and in identifying qualified lenders.
7.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can guide you through the closing
process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.
8.
Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS
when selling your home, can give you up-to-date information on what is
happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and
condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting
your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum
hassle.
9. Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS markets your property to other real
estate agents and the public. Often, your REALTOR® can recommend
repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the
salability of your property. Your REALTOR® markets your property to
other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the
country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that
is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer. Your
REALTOR® acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information
about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple
Listing Service or other cooperative marketing networks, open houses
for agents, etc. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics requires
REALTORS® to utilize these cooperative relationships when they
benefit their clients.
10.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS will know when, where and how to
advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising
sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies
show that 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts
through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal
contacts. When a property is marketed with the help of your
REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your
REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects
through your property.
11. Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can help you objectively evaluate every
buyer's proposal without compromising your marketing position. This
initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals,
inspections and financing -- a lot of possible pitfalls. Your
REALTOR® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement
that will be more likely to make it through the process.Customer Support Web Site
12.
Your
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell REALTORS can help close the sale of your home. Between
the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions
may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain
financing or a cloud in the title is discovered. The required
paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your REALTOR® is
the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and
move the transaction to closing (or settlement).

What Is a CENTURY 21 REALTOR®?
A CENTURY 21 Real Estate Agent is a REALTOR® when he or she is a

What Your CENTURY 21 Patty Snell
REALTORS Can Do for You
The
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® you work with could be one of your
most valuable resources. Unlike many real estate agents who are
simply licensed by their state to do business, REALTORS® have taken
additional steps to become members of the local board of REALTORS®
and have agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. Plus...
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® can help you determine how much
home you can afford. Often a REALTOR® can suggest ways to accrue
the down payment and explain alternative financing methods.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR®, in addition to knowing the local
money market, also can tell you what personal and financial data
to bring with you when you apply for a loan.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® is already familiar with current
real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services and
facilities, and may be aware of local zoning changes that could
affect your decision to buy.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® can usually research your housing
needs in advance through a Multiple Listing Service--even if you
are relocating from another city.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® can show you only those homes best
suited to your needs--size, style, features, location,
accessibility to schools, transportation, shopping and other
personal preferences.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® often can suggest simple,
imaginative changes that make a home more suitable for you and
improve its utility and value.
- A
CENTURY 21 REALTOR® is sensitive to the importance you place on
this major commitment you are about to make. Look for a real
estate professional to facilitate negotiation of a win-win
agreement that will satisfy both you and the seller.

You're Ready for Special "AWARD WINNING QUALITY SERVICE" Treatment,
Call CENTURY 21 Patty Snell & Associates Realtors
There are 3 major components in selling a home
[1] Marketing the home to the right target market
to expedite the sell via our Century 21 marketing strategies and
advertising
[2] Staging the home to get the best price and
[ROI] Return on Investment
[3] Pricing
the home right to expedite sell while getting you the maximum dollar
amount possible based on current market values.
What most
sellers don't realize is that most real estate agencies play the
"numbers" game They
list as many homes as possible, at any price, in order to get more
signs up and get more buyer calls. This types of real estate agency
will put up a sign and advertise the home in real estate magazines
or the newspaper and hope the multiple listing service sells the
property. In today's competitive housing market, homes must be
priced right and marketed to the correct groups of buyers in order
to get them sold.

Unlike most
real estate offices which
award agents selling 1 million in real estate, every single one of
our full time professionals are commited to excellence including
giving the seller the best experience possible in a real estate
transaction, and making sure our agents are among the best in the
industry.
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell & Associates Realtors Commitment to
Excellence means
You won't feel left out in
the cold. Our policy is for each
CENTURY 21 Patty Snell & Associates agent to regularly call you with
updates on the sale of your property. CENTURY 21 Patty Snell &
Associates Realtors is the only Tuscaloosa, Northport, CENTURY 21
real estate office, with our staff, a full time Relocation Director
who is in charge of getting feedback on showings on your home. She
also copies all advertising on your property so that we maintain a
file of marketing as well as send you copies of marketing pieces.
Your Agent handles all advertising

Unlike most
real estate companies
where your home is placed on a large list
of homes and efforts to market your home are controlled by a broker,
marketing representative or someone else who doesn't know your home.
All CENTURY 21 Patty Snell & Associates agents select the marketing
program for you themselves. If your home needs additional
advertising, your agent has the control to provide you that
advertising.
The 3 Components to Selling a Home
Staging Your Home to Sell!
You'll never get a chance to make a good first impression. A gallon
of paint can cost only $15, but can be worth as much as $1500 when
applied correctly. There are thousands of homes for sale in the West
Alabama area, and as nice as your home may be, it will be in
competition with dozens or even hundreds of other homes. Buyers are
looking for the best home for their money. We can help you to
"stage" your home to show it's best. To schedule a confidential
interview, please call us or simply call and ask for our
free informational pamphlet.
Marketing Your Home the right way the first time!

A sign and an
ad is not enough! Too many
associates and agencies rely on the Multiple Listing System to sell
their homes, and in this competitive market, that is simply not
enough. Our Exclusive IMPACT marketing system includes advertising
and target marketing. Our advertising program includes placing your
home regularly in the Real Estate Weekly magazine, Show Case of
Homes PLUS, on at least 11 Internet sites including the top sites:
www.realtor.com , www.century21.com, and www.century21pattysnell.com as well as continual marketing and promotional
programs. Our Target Marketing System is to identify the most likely
place the buyers of your home will come from and directing marketing
to them. We may send color postcards or brochures to relocation
agencies, renters moving into your area, move-up sellers from
neighborhoods where people are buying homes in your neighborhood,
and our famous "Gold Post Sign" with low down payment programs. We
have systems to target likely buyers and many other unique programs.
Pricing Your Home to Sell
We don't pull
any punches There are far
too many agents in the Tuscaloosa-Northport-West Alabama who would
be happy to tell you what you want to hear in order to get a sign in
your lawn. Our goal is to tell you the truth about the marketplace,
how homes are selling and what a realistic price will be.
