Hi Allison, I look forward to meeting you. In preparation I've put together some materials for your review regarding your property, surrounding comparable sales, and my services and advantages. Hope you find this helpful, and I will see you this afternoon. Kind regards, Paul Graves
Columbus Metro Appreciation Graph
This chart is made with Gov't FHFA data and is extremely accurate. Interesting to note as Columbus is a much more stable market in downturns than other areas which lost 30%+ in the years following 2007-2008. Overall we've seen ~40% appreciation in real estate prices in the past 3 years.
Last 6 Months Analysis (PDF File)
First step in my research. Three recent sales near you, one pending and one active for sale. This will show you details of those along with all the pictures. Compare these homes and prices to your own property. All within the previous 6 months.
Active Listing: 5592 Donnally
Near you. Active for sale at $309,900. Smaller but remodeled, undesireable split level floor plan. Extremely competitive however and should fetch 330K-340K.
Pending Sale: 5505 Shannon Heights
Near to you, please compare against your own. It's about the same size as your home. Listed for $389,900, paying 3% commission to buyer's agents and high demand for this property. Also has details of upgrades, improvements, etc.
Next Step... Two Years Sales w/ MAP
Next I pulled two years of sales around your home (Hilliard schools only) and used it to create vi
Odds of Selling Study
100% odds of selling a property in your area Allison, no surprise there. All homes in the past two years of data pulled (see more below)
Time to Contracted Buyer - 2021
In 2021 the average property found a buyer in 6 days (one outlier dragged it up, should have been 4 days I'm sure), with an average sale price of $334,935.
Selling Cycle Study
In your area, as most, Spring and summer is the time to sell! This is the number of sales per month in 2021.
Past 12 Months Visual Study
I visually plotted the past one year's closed sales by you. This graph charts the sold price by finished square footage in your neighborhood for the past 12 months. As you can see, if we approach this correctly we may be solidly in the $400K region.
Active Positioning Study
I took the current properties listed (still pending and actively for sale) and plotted them. We won't know the final sold prices of the pending homes (orange diamonds) until officially closed, but I'm certain they all got asking at minimum, making the accuracy of this spot-on based on sq ft (condition also matters!)
Franklin County Auditor's Detail
Parcel detail on your property. Taken from Franklin County Auditor property search as of 5/14/22. Shows 1990 sq/ft above grade and a 3/4 basement with 1/4 crawl. $192K purchase price in 2004.
Perk: Free Use of My Moving Truck
My clients get free use of my Moving Truck. One full day of use is included along with insurance coverage!
Perk: Free Staging Consultation
I include a 60 minute+ consultation with Karen Glassburn, my design partner. She will leave you with a precise 5-6 page report on EXACTLY what to do to maximize your listing for a rapid profitable sale. If she has suggestions that would strongly influence your performance it is important that we listen and consider them! She helps tremendously and I trust her.
Perk: 100% "No Handcuff" Listing Agreement
I would NEVER lock somebody into a contract and I promise to never do that with you. I commonly request a 3-month agreement yet spell out special terms which always allows for 24-hour written notice to cancel at any time. You deserve to have this power of course. We could never force you to sell your house anyway!
Pending Record Sale: 4574 Hoffman Farms
We just accepted a contract on this property for $95,100 over asking price two days ago. It will far and away a record sale per square foot for Hoffman Farms (off Cosgray Rd, near Hilliard/Dublin border as well) ***Again my job is get buyers to OVERPAY for your property and net you the most profit in the end.***
Record Sale: 4745 Halle Circle
We achieved a price of $86,130 over asking price. This was an especially emotional and aggressive buyer, and I worked hard directly with their agent to maximize their offer and make it perfect for my selling client. Meticulous and detailed marketing and coordination is what causes this. I work to maximize a buyer's emotional actions.
Just Sold: 807 Waterton
Westerville does not have near the demand that Dublin or Hilliard does, nonetheless we achieved a rapid and powerful sale. People thought this property might be difficult to it being dated on the
Sold: 8592 Tartan Fields
Just Sold in Tartan Fields Golf Club for $1.05M. This was a unique home. For this property, I engaged the service of professional copywriters along with architectural study for the listing description and brochures. Along with triple edited photography, floor plan creation, and a major focus on the unique selling proposition: the serenity and organic architecture of the home. Amazing to sell this in a day.
3 Days vs 3 Years Case Study
A case study I made of the above listing that previously took 3 years to sell, which I sold in 3 days. Different market environment, indeed. But look at the marketing difference! That's the difference in working with a serious dedicated agent like myself.
Floor Plan Creation
Floor Plans are a MUST in today's market. Buyers expect this level of detail and it lets them know we are serious and savvy sellers who demand a powerful offer. I create a full floor plan with dimensions as well, for the entire home.
3D Tour Creation
I create a 3D Tour of your property, this also makes it stand out on Zillow and other platforms with a special icon. These gets hours of views and interaction and create more anticipation and excitement in buyers before they ever step foot in the house!
Sold: 5647 Ramblewood Court
We had 55+ showings scheduled with a two-day open house on Saturday-Sunday 1PM-4PM. We did so much work on this home to help the owner maximize sale potential and we achieved a sale price of $74,000 over her hoped for price, and $50,000 over asking price. Proud of this one as no other agent would have put in the work that I did, and my client is ecstatic. She's building a $500K Epcon condo as her final home and this will be a HUGE HELP to her in buying that.
Sold: 8399 Riverside Drive
Proud of this recent sale. Three other agents tried and failed in the past to sell this home (hard to believe, I know!) I really helped the owner handle this monumental transition as it was very difficult for her as a single mother working full-time. The home needed a lot of preparation and I was happy to be there for her during this time!
Sold: 4084 Herald Place Square
49 Hours of Video Views - 21,000 Additional Buyers Reached - 7,000 Emails - 2,000+ Flyer Views - 450+ Letters Mailed, 450+ Phone Calls/Voicemails - 70+ Open House Visitors 4084 Herald Square Place is in Gramercy Place, a high-end gated condo community in Dublin, situated behind Tuttle Mall alongside Hayden Run Road. The home is gorgeous, clean and extremely well-maintained. However, our challenges were a recently raised monthly condo fee of $440/month (from $385/month) and a soft January selling season.
Video: Parkview Condominiums #504
When pitching for a listing, our studies show that sellers want to see a lot of sample marketing. What better way to do that than to show your current listing video! Here's an example video from two of the top agents in San Francisco, Malin Giddings and Neil Ward!

Please feel free to read my all five-star reviews. I can get references for you as well!
"Meticulous Attention to Detail"
I love this recent review from a million-dollar seller because it says everything I strive for. I am obsessive about getting the details right. And the small details are everything in the complex process of selling a house. The little details commonly overlooked are worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Paul Graves, Top 5% Listing Specialist
I have worked tirelessly to establish the highest standards for my clients. With the talent, ambition and connections I bring, I hope I will be the agent you choose to work with! I work my butt off for my clients and truly take care of everything I can in order to help you minimize stress and maximize your NET PROFIT at the end of the sale.
