WELCOME TO
AWESOME HOMES!

This is a program that was developed as a result
of just one simple question we asked one day.  

What Really Makes A Home Sell?  

We assembled a small team of experienced, high-volume producing Realtors, and we each answered the question separately on a piece of paper.  It really wasn't too surprising that we all had pretty much the same answers.  What was surprising, though, was the fact that nobody was addressing these answers and nobody was really doing anything about it.  So we figured it would be really awesome if we faced the issues head-on, actually did something about it, improve your home, add value to your home, make your home stand out from the crowd, and get it sold!  So we're doing just that and we call it Awesome Homes! 

Now we can't share the answers to that simple question with you --that's our secret.  We will tell you, though, how we are going to do something about those answers and help you sell your home.

"Innovative change to marketing, partnership, transparency, and a new improved home buying and selling progression in the real estate industry." 

This is a program designed to change the home buying and selling process. We focus and concentrate on improving your home and adding real value.  Here's how we do it:

We Provide (that means we pay for) All Awesome Homes With:

• 13-Month Home Warranty with Seller Coverage 
• Home Pre-Inspection
• Radon Testing
• Pest and Termite Inspection
• Home Staging by an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP)
• HVAC Inspection with Furnace Cleaning (air-conditioner is seasonal)
• Certified Tech 14-Point Fireplace/Chimney Inspection and Cleaning
• Professional Home Cleaning During Transition

Different homes have different needs. There may be additional services required of your home before it can be considered and marketed as an Awesome Home, as every home is different.  Other such services may be a Landscape Cleanup and Refresh, Four-Hour Handyman Service, Professional Carpet Cleaning, and maybe Window, Screen and Gutters Cleaning.  The only way to know what your home may need is by a physical inspection and interview.

This is just the start of the what Awesome Homes is about:

• Improving your home
• Making your home more attractive
• Adding real added value to your home
• Making your home stand out from the rest
• Building buyer confidence in your home
• Helping your home sell itself!

Do you see how the focus shifts to your home?
 
Please visit the "Helping You!" link and read, or reread, why we shift the focus to your home and how you benefit from this shift.

A degree of our program does focus on safety. While we are involved in the marketing and selling of your home, we would like your home to be a little safer for you and your family.  This is why our furnace and fireplace inspections include professional cleaning by qualified and certified technicians.  

For added safety on all our Awesome Homes, we only use the Sentrilock Lockbox System. This is the most advanced and secure lockbox available in the industry.  Only Realtors that have a Smart Card with photo and I.D. number are able to access the lockbox. There is no punching of numbers, or dialing of letters where anybody that sees the numbers, or knows the numbers, can get into your home.  The Smart Card is required to be updated daily by the Realtor with special equipment and log-in, password protected connection to the Sentrilock Network. Through wireless technologies, it is always known who is accessing the lockbox and entering your home.  There is no safer means of allowing a Realtor to show your home.  It's best when you "Don't leave home without it!"

This program is designed to sell your home.  When you're in the program, it is required that all prospective buyers show that they are as serious about buying a home as we are about selling your home.  Prospective Buyers desiring to see your home must be Pre-Approved with a lender when scheduling a showing through our office.  There is a simple lesson that we have learned in the real estate business that seems to repeat itself all too often - not all prospective "Buyers" you take in a home can actually buy that home!

We want to work with serious buyers - we don't want to waste your time or our time, and we definitely do not want to inconvenience you for a showing when there may be no possibility of a sale.  We have developed a simple form that is required for all showings.  If a buyer is serious, they should have already spoken to a lender anyway.  Pre-approval is a standard process through a lender that can be done in about an hour, if that.  We don't think it's too much to ask of someone who is serious about buying a $300,000+ home to show us that they are serious, do you?

The Awesome Homes Program is more than just a program.  It's a new business model.  Behind the scenes, there is total transparency to our clients 24/7/365. Our software allows you to log-in under your own password where you can view all Disclosures, all Inspections, all Reports, and all Contracts.  You are also provided up-to-the-minute status on your file including email documentation of all transaction related conversations between parties, and feedback from home showings exactly as it is received from the showing Realtor. This is total accountability and transparency.

As you can see, this is huge - too much for a website, brochure, or letter.  We welcome you to email us any questions you may have and we will answer all of them.  It takes approximately two weeks to prepare a home to be an Awesome Home and to market it as an Awesome Home.  Please take this into consideration when working your time table.

You may also attend one of our free "How To Sell Your Home In EVERY Market" seminar.  See the Seminar Schedule link at the top of the Home Page to register for our next seminar.

We encourage you to contact us in any manner that is convenient for you and encourage you to schedule a physical inspection and interview. At that time we can better discuss further all the benefits and points of the Awesome Homes Program.  After this interview, you will have a more thorough understanding of how this program will help you sell your home. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Lou and Ann Kusay

P.S. At this juncture, we think it is clear that as Realtors we easily do what every other realtor does, but through our Awesome Homes Program, we go well beyond.
