Hi Ryan! I have gathered nearby comparable sales from the past two years as well as the recent sales this past year, including the one by you for 400,000. You will see these reports and analyses below! I am confident, from a high level, of a sale price of 375,000-395,000+. I believe totally you will achieve your net result of 350,000 minimum. I will also speak to you about Offerpad... it's random you mentioned them because I know both their local director of renovations and director of growth in Columbus. If working with them still achieves your net result and makes this process way easier, I could take you to them directly as an agent and keep you safe during the inspections process. I did a deal with them a few months ago and they asked for nothing when I was representing the seller. They know I won't let them do that to us. Kind regards, Paul Graves
Intro Video for Ryan
Hi Ryan thank you for reviewing my presentation materials. I think your net goal of 350K is def achievable. Aim for a price of 380K and above. I'll send over a net sheet to show this. Find comparables here and visual graphs as well as some recent sales of mine and my value propositions. As well as an additional video on the offerpad potential.
Offerpad FYI (With Agent Representation)
Hi Ryan, just a note on Offerpad. I know the local partners directly and have dealt with them before. With an agent in your corner, they won't mess with you. They are trying to build goodwill locally with agents and if you want to explore this option, we can. Just an idea in case the quick sale, no showings or open houses, no preparation at all, works better for you (and if you can still meet your 350K net)
Columbus Metro Appreciation Graph
This chart is made with Government FHFA data and extremely accurate. Interesting to note as Columbus is a much more stable market in severe downturns than other areas in the country which lost 30%+ in the years following 2007-2008. Just for fun!
Your Market Analysis (PDF File)
NEARBY COMPARABLE PROPERTIES - There have been a number of recent sales near your house Ryan. I see a valuation of 375000-395000 being completely reasonable. Minus selling expenses I believe you can achieve your goal of 350,000 net.
Last 6 Months Visual Pricing Analysis
This graph charts the sold price by finished square footage in your neighborhood for the past 6 months (I manually inserted 5714 Pleasant Hill since it's so close, yet that was longer ago) I think, again, that this shows us sitting comfortably in that 375,000-385,000 region to be in-line with the market.
Last Two Years' Sales Data
This data was analyzed to produce my pricing recommendations so that we maximize our placement and pricing. 40 Homes Sold the past two years in Western Lakes.

Another view of this data taken from the MLS, FYI. Western Lakes last two years sales data.
Odds of Selling 2021 and 2020
100% of the properties listed (18) did indeed sell in 2021, no expired or cancelled listings. No surprise there. 22 of them did sell in 2020 as well, which was 100% of the listings.
Average Time to Contracted Buyer 2021
The average home in your neighborhood went into contract in only 4 DAYS. (Since Jan 2021) 4 Days average time before contracted buyer.
Selling at 380K Nets You $350K+
Example closing of 4/1/22. I use one of the best title companies in the city, very inexpensive. This is with taxes prorated, commissions, everything. I think this price is definitely achievable.
Auditor's Property Card
Parcel detail report on your property. Taken from Franklin County Auditor property search as of 1/5/2021
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.
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 Sale: 1714 Arlingate Drive
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
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.
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: 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: 34 W Poplar Penthouse 504
Another great sale where my decision to push the attraction for dog owners found an all-cash buyer from DC who were desperate to be located next to a park for their prized hounds!
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.

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!

"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.
My Resume [Updated Dec 2021]
Please find my recently updated Resume here. I take this business very seriously and keep this updated as often as possible. As you will see I have sold 100% of the listings I accept and have always achieved full price on average. I sell 30+ homes annually as an independent agent

Thank you for your time Ryan. I hope that I can earn your business during this major transition. I promise no one else will match my effort and attention to detail. I also always allow for 24-hour written right to cancel and only charge 2% total commission if you find your own buyer (who has no agent) and I handle the entire transaction for both parties. I think this is a flexible win-win for you! -Paul Graves, 614-580-1277
