Growth For The Next Generation

Four Reasons A Home Won’t Sell
While the home selling process may appear complicated, there are actually only 4 reasons that a home will not sell in today’s market. The first 2, Price & Condition, are controlled by you with the aide of the Nellis Group team of specialists. The next 2, Marketing & Negotiation, are why you select the Nellis Group to protect your equity and get you the best terms & conditions for your home sale.
Price
The Nellis Group will help you find the most accurate estimated value of your home in the current market, and guide you in
determining the best pricing strategy to fit your needs.
Market Specialists/Appraisers Pricing Strategy
Our market specialist will perform a Mini Market Analysis (MMA) on your home
to determine the best estimated value. Our
specialists are licensed appraisers, so they will
be able to look at your home with a more
accurate eye. This makes the MMA a more
precise compared to a traditional Realtor
CMA or the often inaccurate, online estimate.
We will help you elect a pricing strategy to meet your goals & time frames. If
you are looking to push the price you might opt for a Wiggle Strategy. Or, you
may opt for a Worry Strategy and leverage Low Offer Engagement (LOE) to try to
sell your home more quickly.
Optional Secret Homes allows you to take advantage of Price Friction and test the market without accruing any actual days on the market.
Condition
The Nellis Group will show you how the clean ups, fix ups, and possible renovations will impact the value and appeal of your home
and connect you with a network of Advantage Partners that can help drive your home above the competition.
Keeping the home in a good showing state is essential to the condition. We provide a free 1 hour interior designer consultation to help stage & improve your home’s appeal in the eyes of potential buyers.

Photography & Video
We use wide angle photography to capture the spaciousness of each room, High Dynamic Range (HDR) enhancement to bring vivid photos to life, aerial photography/video* to capture the community
highlights, and HD Video to bring your home alive.
Nobody knows your home better than you do. That is why
we recommend that all our sellers participate in a Seller

Message from the owners...
This is a spacious home for all stages of family life. We were drawn to the location close
to Quantico, Belvior and DC. There are excellent schools, wonderful shopping, Wegman’s
grocery is a favorite and plenty of state parkland with water activity access. The home itself is fantastic for entertaining with its open floor plan yet offers privacy
with a study and guest suite. We especially enjoyed the many festive occasions with
friends and family at the custom, full service bar with kegerator and ice maker and
custom made wine cellar. The lot offers the best curb appeal in the neighborhood. The wrap around front porch is
perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings reading the newspaper and the beautiful yard that has
been professionals maintained. We hope that you will fall in love with the house and make it
a home full of memories…just like us.Sincerely,
Joseph & Bettye Marie

Social Fusion Marketing
In today’s world, it is essential to take advantage of the amount of buyers who are online and using social
media to find and share homes. We use Social Fusion to increase the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of
your home, and saturate the internet with information about your home and the surrounding community.
Social Media Boost
Strategic BloggingConsistently adding content online about your home through
blogging helps to keep your home fresh even after the initial market

Sharing your home to our wide array of social media fans through
various social media outlets is a great first step. One key thing we
do is utilize the world’s number 1 social network, Facebook, to get

Secret Homes
Secret Homes brings serious buyers into your home and allows the Nellis Group to leverage price friction and a lack of days on market to negotiate full price offers on your behalf. Your home will still be have the full power of Nellis Group Marketing behind
you, with the exception of officially being listed in MRIS, which ensures you accrue 0 days on market while you test the waters. Sellers
looking to aggressively test the market, or with less urgency to sell should consider this program.
Negotiation Leverage:Zero Days On Market
Negotiation Leverage:Price Friction
Increased days on market can be a stigma
when selling a home. Without officially
being on the market, sellers are more
free to test the limits of price without
accruing any negative days on the market
while gaining leverage against buyers who
want to use days on market against them.
Serious Buyers Only
Showings of your home will
be controlled by you and the
Nellis Group through private
channels. This ensures that
anyone who is going to see
your home is a serious and
pre-approved buyer. There
will be no sign in the yard,
no visible lock box, and
no surprise showings. On
average you can expect 1
showing every 10 days.
When a buyer comes into a Secret
Home, they are given the opportunity
to make a full price offer before the
home is mass syndicated to thousands
of other buyers. It gives them a chance
to “snatch up” the home and gives us
a chance to leverage full price offers.

Strategic Open Houses
Real Estate companies love to use open houses. They don’t love them because it sells your home, but because they can interact with
new buyers who they will most likely sell a different home. The Nellis Group’s open house focus is to showcase your home. That is why
we hold open houses at three strategically placed time periods in the selling process.
Secret Home Open House Introduction Open House Price Shift Open House
If you have opted to be part of our
Secret Homes program this is a great
opportunity to get buyers in the door
and create urgency & leverage while
remaining officially off the market.
The first weekend the home is on the
market is a great time to get a large
number of potential buyers in the door.
These buyers who have already seen all
the other homes on the market.
If your home shifts into a different price
range then there are a new group of
buyers who are now in your price range
who would love to see a new home that
fits their needs.
To generate buzz for an open house the Nellis Group will advertise through social media
and paid syndication channels. To prepare for the event, we will place directionals
around the neighborhood and canvas the neighborhood with flyers. At times neighbors
are a good source for buyers because they want friends/family to move into the area.
Once the open house is complete you will receive a feedback report to see what buyers
are thinking about your home.

Negotiation
The negotiation experts at the Nellis Group will fight for your equity, utilizing negotiation tactics & strategies based on research,
analysis and experience to generate the best terms and conditions from the contract for your home.
In certain situations the Nellis Group can leverage their special Lender Advantage Program
(LAP) to better negotiate the terms of the offer. This program allows our lender to cover the
buyers requested closing costs, saving you money.. This is the only program like this in the
area and on average our sellers save $X when this program is utilized.
Buyer Agent Research
We never go into negotiations blind.
Any time we are going to consider an
offer our negotiation specialists vet the
buyer agent to find out if the offer is
credible. We have a proven set of 10
questions that we ask every buyer agent
to gain important information that will
help us negotiate against them.
Low Offer Engagement (LOE)
A low first offer is not a bad thing. Our
negotiation specialists leverage these
low offers to drive up the seriousness of
any other offers
