Maximum Exposure

|[pic] |At Better Homes Realty we expertly will market your home in many ways: First we will advertise |

| |it to the real estate community. By exposing your listing to the thousands of agents in the area|

| |all of whom are working with numerous qualified buyers, we maximize the probability of selling |

| |your home by alerting the real estate community that your home is on the market, we are putting |

| |those others agents to work for you as well as ourselves. Since no single Broker sells more |

| |than 10% of the Real Estate, this step is essential. |

| |Second, we will market your home to the large buying audience. Our first step is to place a |

| |distinctive "For Sale" sign on your property, letting the general public know that your home is |

| |now for sale. Whenever possible we will also have directionals leading potential buyers to your |

| |home. Many times neighbors know friends or relatives that would like to live near them. Believe|

| |it or not exposing your home to your neighbors is the first step in attracting potential buyers.|

| |A Buyer calling on a sign is the strongest buyer of all. |

Cooperative Showing

|  |Our systems are instrumental in mobilizing the real estate community by leveraging the laws of supply and demand. Our systems encourage real|

| |estate companies in the local and outlying marketplace to become actively involved in the marketing of your property. For their efforts, we |

| |make available the selling portion of the real estate fee to all companies and sales associates in the marketplace. |

| |The most valuable marketing tool used by any company is the significant activity of advertising your property to other real estate |

| |associates. We, as the marketing associates for your property, will see to it that your property is sold twice first to the real estate |

| |community, and subsequently to the buying public. These associates and their customers make up the Better Homes Realty real estate community|

| |buyers pool. These associates provide counsel and guidance to the overwhelming majority of potential buyers. Your property will be listed |

| |with the Multiple Listing Service. A broker open house will be held by Better Homes Realty Sales Executives. This open house will be |

| |publicized to buyer agents through MLS announcing the date and time of the open house. |

| |Cooperative Showing Suggestions are unique to Better Homes Realty and enable us to put together a detailed plan on how to show your home in |

| |the hands of all cooperating agents before they bring prospective buyers. |

Merchandising and Staging

|[pic] |A buyer's first impression must be a memorable one. Curb appeal has taken on a whole new meaning|

| |in today's real estate marketing. Today's interested buyer not only can view your home from the |

| |curb but with today's technology the next owner can get a clear and accurate showing of your |

| |home with floor plans, aerial views, virtual tours and scores of photographs from the luxury of |

| |their own home or office. |

| |The Better Homes Realty Home Merchandising System was designed in New Jersey and is now used |

| |nationally to enhance the value of a property through merchandising before the actual marketing |

| |plan begins. The Merchandising System is comprised of videos and print materials which guide the|

| |homeowner through a variety of inexpensive and free projects designed to make their home more |

| |presentable for showing. Our partnership with First Impressions Homes will assist you in |

| |preparing your home for sale. First Impression Homes |

Pricing Your Home

|  |Sellers may think that an overpriced property can simply be reduced if it doesn't sell. The danger with this approach is that by the time |

| |the property is finally reduced to its market value, it may have been on the market so long that buyers perceive it to be a tainted |

| |property. Buyers then question how long the home has been on the market and why it hasn't sold. Their offer to purchase, based on that |

| |knowledge, may be below its actual value. As real estate professionals, we use market research to arrive at an initial price that is both |

| |realistic and fair to you as the seller, but also attractive to buyers. This pricing process takes into account a number of key factors that|

| |include the property location and condition, and the market history and current activity. |

| |"Couldn't We Try This Price For A Couple Of Weeks?" |

| |Sales agents are constantly on the alert for new properties to show their active, qualified buyer. As a result, the majority of showings by |

| |sales agents on a new listing occurs when the house is first placed on the market. Once the group of agents and buyers have seen the |

| |property, showing activity decreases to only those buyers new to the market. Therefore, it is important to position your home at the best |

| |price during the first market exposure. |

We Have Buyers

|[pic] |The Better Homes Realty International Referral Network links qualified real estate professionals|

| |in relocation markets across the country. Through our network, we have access to buyers from all|

| |of buyers. Your new listing will be exposed to our inventory of current buyers who have not |

| |found a house to meet their needs in the current Multiple Listing Service inventories. They will|

| |be immediately notified that your home is available for sale. |

| |The Renter to Buyer Assistance Program is a method to aid properties listed through Better Homes|

| |Realty Realtors, and offers seller assistance to qualified buyers. This program is primarily |

| |used for first-time homebuyers who in most cases can afford a monthly payment but are short on |

| |the down payment and/or closing costs. Downpayment Gifts are frequently negotiated to consummate|

| |a sale, which might otherwise not happen. |
