A world of Opportunity
SIMPLE AS 1-2-3
Many agents believe that real estate is strictly
a local business. We have a different mindset.
We believe that real estate is increasingly a
global enterprise, and by ignoring
international buyers, you risk passing up a
world of opportunity.
From April 2018 – March 2019, foreign buyers
purchased $77.9 billion of U.S. existing-
homes.
Our global network of connections allows us to
strategically market your property to the
largest audience possible. And, as a Keller

ensure your listing will reach 100-plus

property with the right buyers.
The Power of Pricing
PRICE RIGHT. SELL FA ST.
Pricing your home competitively
generates the most activity from
agents and buyers.
Your property will generate the most
interest when it first hits the market,
and if it’s priced at market value, it
will generate the most showings.
Pricing your home too high may make
it necessary to drop the price below
the market to compete with new,
well-priced listings that may come on
the market. If we start too high, we
may miss the excitement and have to
drop the price later, causing it to sell
below market value.
