Listing proposal help needed

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

I have been working with Agents for 6 years helping them put together marketing plans to better sell themselves and the properties they represent, now that I am a full time REALTOR I have been reviewing these proposals and talking to many of my former clients and I've found that there is something missing when the agents wrap everything up and present it to prospective sellers. I have a listing appointment scheduled for next week with a friend of the family that is looking to sell a million dollar home and I know how internet savy his kids are and he's in the entertainment industry, so just knowing me is not going to be enough to get the listing, I'm going to have to wow him into submission with a proposal that rocks, I'm getting great advice from many formaer clients that are top agents in their region on what I should include in the proposal, since I'm a new agent although  I have many years of marketing experience under my belt they are advicing me to use some of the standard stuff that has been around for a while a list of these points is below. There are many templates out there which I can use, but I really feel thats its time to take the listing/marketing proposal to the next level. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated and I will reciprocate in kind....

••          Cover Page with picture of prospect's property

••          Letter of introduction

••          Home selling process flowchart

••          Why list with realtor and realtor's company?

••          Overview of the local real estate market

••          Overview of comprehensive marketing plan to sell prospect's property

••          Overview of pricing strategy & the importance of realistic pricing

••          Comparative Market Analysis Summary & details

••          Testimonials from past clients

••          Your cumulative sales, highlighting any in the prospect's neighborhood.

••          A screenshot of your website, including featured listings page

••          A minimum of 3 references from past and/or current clients

••          A checklist of items to prepare the property for sale

Thanks for reading and your comments are appreciated.

Are you going to make it a power point or other animated type presentation? You could do that and then download it to a disc to leave along with the printed material. You will want to make sure you highlight where you market on the internet, are you going to do a "show" to post on youtube or the like? Make sure you include your network sites in your "resume", ie: your linkedIn Profile and other sites you belong to. Anyway just some ideas - good luck!

I have an awesome powerpoint layout that should work fine and prints out well in standard 8/5 X 11 Format so that should work well, thanks for the reminder to ad my linkedin profile, I keep forgeting to do that, with my background at R.com I have a pretty comeprehensive list of sites and netwroks that i can post to but the CD idea is interesting especially for the high end listing type
