Hello Wayne & Ji Chi! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be considered for your listing at Axis. It certainly brings back memories whenever I step foot in that beautiful building. I wanted to provide you with an electronic copy of my Listing Presentation for your records.
Get to know Joe Ventura
Here is a link to our website. I do some work with my cousin and business partner, Nicole Ventura-Wallace, as well as my Dad, Frank Ventura, both of whom are longtime Real Estate Professionals.
Comparative Market Analysis
There are many 3rd party real estate websites which have algorithms that try to predict your home's market value. Some examples are Zillow, Redfin, Homesnap & Realtor.com. If you type in your address into each one of these, you will notice very different estimates ranging from $1,004,635 to $1,197,100. The fact that the pending litigation has been lifted will be prove to be positive. When buildings are in litigation, only a select few lenders/financial institutions will provide financing, which severely limits the suitable buyer pool. The other thing is that the new building at 188 West Saint James is selling their 2 Bedroom and 2 Bathroom Properties for just around $1,000,000, so we want to be mindful of this as we determine the proper list price. The only true way to get an accurate assessment on market value is a custom Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). I was able to take a mixture of Active, Pending and recently Sold properties in your area with very similar characteristics. We will discuss this in length and in the meantime, I will be reaching out to the agents who have listings pending sale in your area. This really gives us the most real-time pulse on the market.
Listing Timeline
Here is a high level overview of the listing process. During our meeting together, I will provide more context around the team I use to get our listing prepared for sale. These trades include interior design & staging, handymen, flooring and painting contractors, etc. All Inspections and HOA Documents will be paid by me ahead of time, so we can proactively assess if any repairs should be made.
Sample Marketing Presentation - Website
I work closely with Aerial Canvas, one of the top Real Estate Marketing and Content Management companies in the space. No expense will be spared in making your home show its very best.
Sample Marketing Presentation - Video
Here is the showcase video from my listing in Downtown Morgan Hill located at 78 Sterling Lane which recently closed escrow. We try to capture lifestyle footage in our showcase videos to not only highlight aspects of the home itself, but also the neighborhood, town, urban lifestyle, etc.
Just Sold - Pricing Strategy
Pricing is key in this market. With such thin inventory in all of Santa Clara County, pricing a home attractively will lead to more interest, more showings and ultimately more offers. This creates leverage on the Seller side, and will result in more favorable pricing and terms. We listed this home for $1,688,000 and closed at $2,215,000 after 24 offers! We need to note that this same strategy would need to be slightly adjusted as markets fluctuate. As of 1/26/2022, there are 244 Active Condos & Townhouses in Santa Clara County compared to 369 Pending. This shows that the strong buyer demand is not allowing inventory to keep up. These metrics are favorable for Sellers. Ideally, I would love to see you guys sell between now and April of 2022 as we face some uncertainties such as interest rate hikes, geopolitical concerns and rising inflation. Inventory tend to rise as we get deeper into the Spring and early part of Summer.
Reviews on Zillow
See what some of my clients have said about their experiences working with me.
Part of Top Agent Network (TAN)
You have heard of the 80/20 rule, well in Real Estate, its more of the 90/10 rule. 10% of the agents make up approximately 90% of the transactions. As part of Top Agent Network, I have the ability to take marketing and networking options to a new level.
Ranked #483 in Individual Sales Volume
I was flattered to have been recognized by Real Trends as a Top Real Estate Professional in the State of California. Out of approximately 425,000 licensed Real Estate Agents in the State, I was ranked #483 in Individual Volume.
Property Profile/Title Report
One of the most important team members throughout this transaction will be our Escrow Officer. Over the years, I have worked closely with Lisa Nunes of Chicago Title Company.
Marketing Proposal
In addition to all marketing expenses, inspections and staging will be paid by me as part of my listing package.
Seller Net Sheet at $1,100,000
Staging is optional but highly recommended. As part of my listing package, I am willing to provide you with a credit of $3,000 toward staging at close of escrow.
