Marlene Lily's Marketing Plan:

I will provide you with a detailed market analysis showing what homes like yours have sold for recently and what your home is likely to bring. I'll discuss this analysis with you, and, using the information it provides, help you arrive at the best listing price for your home.

I will counsel you regarding any pre-listing home preparation needed, and, if needed, provide referrals to contractors for repairs. I will also oversee the work, if needed.

I'll counsel you regarding the best way to handle showing your home—from "staging" your home to answering phone calls to what to do if someone shows up unexpectedly.

I will arrange for a pest control inspection and counsel you on dealing with any work that’s recommended, so as to save you money.

I’ll discuss your moving plans and finding another home if needed, so you feel comfortable putting your home on the market.

I’ll have a sign and lockbox installed on your property if you want them.

I’ll take my own top quality color photos and submit them to MLS and the advertising media, rather than take a chance that their photos are less than optimal (owing to parked cars, weather conditions, time of day, etc.).

I’ll write an MLS listing designed to attract agents and buyers to the home.

I'll create specially tailored Internet remarks for maximum appeal, as well as safety, and list your home on the Internet, if you want that.

I’ll list your property on my web site, www.marlenelily.com

I’ll design and print color flyers and distribute them to agents county wide.

I’ll write and submit a 7-line 28-day ad to Press Democrat, which will also run with a photo in the Press Democrat's Real Estate Network magazine.

I’ll hold two open houses for real estate agents, with delicious food. I will go to the Tuesday MLS breakfast and promote the home to real estate agents so they come to preview your home. I’ll also have your home on the Independent Brokers’ Caravan on Thursday, also with food. I'll be there to serve the food, greet the visitors, and answer questions.

I’ll hold Sunday open houses for the public if you want them.

I'll take all calls from prospective buyers and show the home to them, and will answer all questions from real estate agents.

I'll promote your home enthusiastically to oth

I’ll provide counseling when offers are received and write counter offers (multiple counter offers, if needed).

During the escrow period, I’ll stay on top of the time frames specified by the purchase agreement, and make sure that the buyers comply with their part of the contract.

I’ll review your closing statement for accuracy.

I’ll set up an appointment for signing closing papers, and attend the signing, so that if you have any last-minute questions, I can either answer them or get the answers on the spot.

I'll be available to you after escrow closes to answer questions and to troubleshoot any leftover problems or loose ends, should there be any.

My goal throughout this process is to safeguard your interests and to get you the best price for your property as quickly as possible with the least amount of stress possible.
