Scott Stollar Guarantee
One of the biggest dilemmas when selling a home is deciding whether to hire a Realtor or to try
and sell it yourself. Hiring the wrong realtor is risky because your home could end up sitting on
the market for a long time without an acceptable offer. ALL studies show that the best price comes
sooner, not later.

Taking time off work or rearranging your schedule to accommodate a stream of
vendors who will work to get your home market-ready is the last thing we want you
worrying about. With your permission, we’ll gladly take on the role of coordinating
projects, start and completion dates, overseeing work on-site and ensuring tasks are
performed to the highest standards.
STAGING

help buyers love it for all the right reasons. We know how to make a property shine.
Investing in good staging can significantly drive up your sales price.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The importance of great pictures cannot be overestimated. When photography is done
well, it conveys value, sets a desirable tone for your home and compels discerning
buyers to come see the space for themselves. Our skilled professional photographers
know how to bring your home to life while making a great first impression on buyers in
order to drive interest and demand.

website with property details and photo galleries
is beneficial. In this fast-paced market, these
sites are often unnecessary. But if we agree that
a devoted website would help build momentum
and bring local and international attention to your
home, then we’ll use our social media pages,
network of past and potential buyers and links on
marketing materials to generate site visitors.

most important real estate websites including
Zillow, Realtor.com and more. We’ll make sure

EMAIL BLASTS 12
We’ll send an email alerting top agents in our area to your
listing. Buyers’ agents jump to open these emails because
they’re all trying to stay on top of inventory and get their
eager clients into competitive properties ahead of the
competition. We sell a lot of our homes through buyer’s
agents we’ve known and working with for years and as a
result they pay attention when we alert them to an exciting
new home on the market.
