The Maniecki Pro Team Mission Statement

“It is our mission to go above and beyond our client’s ex-pectations, earning their trust, fulfilling their real estate needsswiftly and leaving them not only satisfied in our performance,but confident in our abilities to refer our services to their familyand friends.”

~ The Maniecki Pro Team

Why would you want to hire The Maniecki Pro Team?

We have adopted a particular philosophy of doing business

Most Realtors® do business as if they will never see or hear from their clients again! Because they have that mindset, often customer service slips or discrepancies appear. They just want to get the deal done and move to thenext one. They never build trust with that client and are typically afraid of "losing them" to another Realtor® sothey have to get the "deal done fast", regardless of the consequences. Our way of doing business is to think of therelationship with our client as a long term association... not for just one transaction. We work hard to prove toourselves and to our clientele, that we have their best interest in mind... and they in turn give us their loyalty. Be-cause of this different mind set on both sides, the pressure is off. We are willing to work with our Sellers andBuyers as long as necessary to ensure they feel comfortable with the home buying or selling process. We tell thetruth and live with the consequences. Again and again we have found that people prefer to work this way. Ourconcern is with our clients. Pressuring someone to sell now or buy now or do anything that is NOT according totheir schedule is not how we do things. It must be what is best for our client!! We are committed to earning theright to be your Personal Realtor® For Life!! That's why we get so much referral business. A very high percentageof our business comes to us by way of referral... Friends, past clients, friends of my past clients and other Realtors®from across North America. These people have dealt with us in the past, and have seen first hand the high level ofservice and commitment provided to our clients. There is a very high level of trust. That means trust in our in-tegrity, in our level of skill and market knowledge to do the best job possible and in our commitment to put theneeds and requirements of our clients first! We are committed to earning the right to be your Personal Realtor®For Life!!

For most people, the sale of their home is one of the five most important financial transactionsof their entire life. Who you select to represent you in this transaction can help or hurt youwhen it comes to getting what you deserve from the sale of your home. The information inthis guide is to help you make the right choice in a Realtor that will do all they can for YOU.

Many Realtors think their most important job is satisfying the customer. We don’t believe inworking with customers; we believe in taking care of our clients. What’s the difference?

Customer: A person who purchases a good or service from another

Client: A person that depends on the protection of another

We believe that satisfying the customer is simply the minimum requirement for staying inthe business. We work constantly to improve our systems, processes, and services to go wellbeyond the standard level of service provided by most Realtors and provide the care and di-rection for our clients.

Our team is built on a strong foundation of core values and purpose. The Maniecki Pro Teamis dedicated to teamwork, continuing self improvement, positive attitudes and most impor-tantly family. The passion for client service comes first with every person that walks throughthe door.

Our main objective is to get you the most amount of money in the least amount of time andwith the least amount of hassles. We strive to provide you with the best service in the industrywhile keeping you informed about every aspect along the way.

There are many factors involved in selling a home. It really boils down to aggressive market-ing, a sound pricing strategy, knowing the numerous options that are available to you (youwill learn them soon), and finally, having an agent who has an intense interest in your well-being above and beyond anything and anyone else.

Pricing MisconseptionsIt is very important to price your property at competitive market value. Buyers and Sellers Deter-mine Value. The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a selleris willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing yourproperty to other properties SOLD in your area. Historically, your first offer is usually your best.Your value is not determined by the following;

Furthermore, there are hundreds of descriptive words to choose from, to put in front of‘scenic views’.

PROPERTYPhotos

When searching for a home, buyers buy based on what they see. If your home is being advertisedwithout property photos, your home is being overlooked 75% of the time. Buyers want to seewhat they are getting and the more pictures they can see the better. You can have the best de-scription in the world but without the picture to see, your property will not sell for Top Dollar.

Problem:

Solution:We understand how buyers think and where they look to find their perfect home. 90% of buyersbegin their search for homes on the internet and most buyers search through pictures beforereading descriptions. We want your house to be the home first buyers stop to look at and we dothat by displaying multiple photos.

ToursSometimes it is hard to showcase a property with a flyer or a few pictures. Since many prospectivebuyers prefer to use the internet when shopping for a home, they often only look at those homesonline that offer more than a few static photographs.

Problem:

Solution:Our leading edge Virtual Tours are a fabulous way to walk buyers through properties from remotelocations. We place a premium on allowing these “over the web shoppers” to be able to accessYOUR property in a virtual environment to get a good idea of what it is that’s being offered forsale. All it takes is a good idea of what it is that’s being offered for sale. All it takes is a computerand a few clicks of the mouse and a buyer can take a “virtual walk-through” of a property whichis very close to the experience of the real thing. In fact, sometimes properties are sold sight un-seen, primarily on the basis of a virtual tour!

This great high-tech tool allows us to showcase your property, electronically,in gorgeous detail, to prospects in remote locations.

Sales of YOUR property can occur even though a buyer cannot physically getto the property when they are ready to offer on it.

Visual Tours offer multimedia exposure, complimenting and enhancing ourother advertising and promotions of YOUR property.

The fact that the majority of U.S. households now have Internet access, combined with the adventof numerous web sites offering virtually unlimited listings of real estate for sale, means thattoday’s buyers rely increasingly on the Internet as their primary source of information and dataabout properties for sale. With thousands of real estate sites now competing for attention, fewAgents have the time, tools, or resources to exploit the Internet’s value as a sales tool.
