Real Estate. Re-imagined!

DuPree Team Luxury

The real estate industry is changing rapidly. The days of the general practitioner are vanishing

and recent studies predict that 97% of the business will soon be handled by only 3% of the

agents. These elite agents are approaching the real estate business in an entirely different

manner they understand that consumers today expect and deserve a higher level of service and

accountability. Top agents recognize that the best way to provide this level of service is through a

team of specialists.

Real Estate. Re-Imagined!

from the traditional real estate companies. Here is why: You won’t be “just a number” and be lost in

the shuffle. Our entire team will know your needs and priorities and will give you personal service

and attention. Rather than treating you the way we want to be treated, we want to treat you the

way you want to be treated.

DuPree Team Luxury

When you work with The DuPree Team, you can relax and leave the rest up to us. Our entire team

will be devoted to serving you and you will never be “just another listing”. You won’t get passed

little about your property. It is likely that whoever takes your call in our office will be able to help you

immediately.

Our service is personal and singular. We’ll ask questions to understand your priorities and goals.

We know, from years of experience, that every Seller has a special request. We’re very tuned in to

what you need and will do whatever it takes to keep you satisfied.

A Dream Come True It’s been 31 years in the making...The DuPree Team brand. A team that has set the benchmark

for real estate services in the South Florida area! Over the years Marta and Neil DuPree and their

elite team has been nationally recognized for their legendary service, the quality of their marketing

and their reputation for results. They have helped over 2,000 families with their real estate needs...

many who had a lifestyle dream of owning homes in multiple areas, often in the mountains and

the beach or desert.

“Our mission is to ‘elevate the practice of real estate to an art form,’ and to deliver a real estate

experience that is re-imagined and extra ordinary. By surprising and delighting our clients along

each step of the way in their journey with us, we know that they will spread the word and our

business will flourish.”

Marta and Neil are passionate about real estate. You rarely get a second chance to do it right

if not done well the first time. Putting your clients in the center of all decisions and serving them to

the highest level is what it is all about. Real estate is not about selling “things”. Homes are not just

bricks and mortar--- they’re a place where memories are made and dreams are realized. We realize

how important our skills as a Realtor® are in helping other families live out their dreams.

We know that real estate has very little to do with plat maps, tile work, and warranty deeds. Its

more about the relationships that are formed along the way. We

work hard to master the art of real estate and to give exceptional

service. We want our clients to be absolutely confident that we

will do everything we can to help them achieve their goals. If you

are successful, we are successful.

Our Company and You

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 12: Luxury listing packet over 750000

Putting You in the Center of Everything We Do! The traditional model for real estate has one agent trying to be all things to all people. The

general practitioner provides all of the necessary services alone, thus serving only a small number

of clients at a time. This business model allows for limited service at its best. Our team structure for

real estate places you, the client, in the center of our operation, with a specialist serving you during

each phase of your real estate transaction.

We are unique and different from other real estate firms. Our company is comprised of a team

of specialists who each perform a different task in serving our clients. Every member of our team

goes above and beyond to do whatever it takes to satisfy and delight. We drop everything to get

paperwork to your home. We bring you keys when you lock yourself out. However, we don’t consider

this unusual or out of the ordinary --- it’s what friends do for friends.

The Process

DuPree Team Luxury

“From the very first phone call and beyond, we’ll show you we are committed to serving you 100%. Here’s what we do for you in preparation for your listing.”

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 16: Luxury listing packet over 750000

The PreparationPreview property. Prepare a detailed property description. this enables us to prepare the most

effective brochures possible to market your property.

Photography. If a picture is worth a thousand words, we think good pictures of your property are

worth thousands of dollars.

Prepare a market analysis and pricing strategy. One of the many ways we help you to

arrive at a fair price for your property is to look at the prices of similar properties in your area that

have sold as well as the current competition. We provide statistical data such as average sales-

versus-list price percentages, average length of market time, seasonality of sales, location demand

and a host of other factors that will help you arrive at the best market price for your property.

Offer Suggestions to maximize your salability. Sometimes small changes make a big

impact. Through our vast experience, we will give you advice on how to put your property in the

condition it needs to be in to get a maximum

sales price.

Discuss financial options. Some of the offers

you entertain may contain terms other than cash.

We can explain how sometimes being creative

and considering other options may be to your

benefit.

The Preparation

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 17: Luxury listing packet over 750000

Gather all pertinent documents. These include floor plan, survey, deed restrictions, covenants,

association declarations and by-laws, leases, property disclosures and more. We don’t wait until

a contact comes in to get ready. We pull them all together in advance and have them readily

available in our listing binders, so we don’t have to rush you when we have an interested buyer.

Prepare an inventory of furnishings. If you include any furnishings with the purchase,

we’ll complete an inventory for you. For contract purposes, having an inventory eliminates

misunderstandings.

Review Leases. If there is a long lease or nightly rental reservations are booked on your property,

we coordinate with the tenants and property management company to determine occupancy or

move out clauses as it affects the sale and possession. We then coordinate showing arrangements

directly with tenants and guests.

Obtaining mortgage information. We will know if your loan is assumable, and we will receive

an approximate payoff. We will also provide you with an estimated Seller’s Net Proceeds Statement

based on this information, at your request.

Procuring Seller’s Disclosures. These

are required by the State of Florida and

will be your representation to the potential

buyer as to the condition and the size of

your property.

The Preparation

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 18: Luxury listing packet over 750000

Preparing a listing book with all documents intact. We prepare a special binder, which is

tabbed for every important aspect of the listing process. Our checklists and system ensure that

nothing gets missed.

Making extra keys. We always keep a spare in our office to give access to agents, appraisers,

inspectors, and other professionals required.

Install electronic lockboxes (when appropriate). Our lockboxes provide maximum security

for our Sellers.

Placing a yard sign and installing a 24 hour hotline rider. When signs are permitted, we

attach a 24 hour hotline rider that allows buyers to obtain access to the pricing details of your

home.

Handling all showings with care. We call you in advance for all showings and will work around

your schedule if you have specific instructions about the showing of your home.

The Strategy

DuPree Team Luxury

“When you hire us, we will immediately get to work implementing our strategic market plan to sell your property.”

The StrategyTeam marketing— Most Realtors rely on the “4P’s of Marketing”... Put an ad in the paper.

Put it in the MLS. Put up a sign. Pray.

It’s our opinion that if a sign and an ad in the paper would sell your property, you wouldn’t

need us at all. These things are a given and have nothing to do with creating excitement in

the marketplace about your property. When you hire a Listing Broker, you expect a professional

marketing plan of action and the ability to achieve results. We prefer to use a laser sharp

approach, where we determine who the most likely Buyers are for your property and target the

majority of our efforts to attract those particular Buyers.

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 20: Luxury listing packet over 750000

The Exposure

DuPree Team Luxury

“We believe that effective marketing encompasses many different mediums. While our print marketing continues to be nationally recognized and acclaimed, we are acutely aware that the changing consumer now demands high tech along with high touch”

Print Marketing— High TouchConsumers in the marketplace still prefer to touch and feel print marketing, especially when they

are in the market to buy... and especially if it survives the 3-second rule (does not hit the trash can

upon first glance). The print marketing created by the DuPree Team is in a class of its own and is

often copied by others. We take real estate marketing seriously.

DuPree Team Luxury

Page 21: Luxury listing packet over 750000

Here is a Sample of Our Marketing Materials:

Professional Property Brochures.

The quality of our marketing is known and

appreciated through North America. Our

standard for luxury listings is now a generous

8-page brochure and we often create 12-page

brochures for our larger homes. It details and

highlights all of the finishes, behind the scenes

technology, and special features of your property.

This allows the buyer to see all the “added value”

items they might not otherwise know about.

Advertisements in The Parklander

and City News Magazines.

Monthly advertisements in The Parkland and

City News magazines are created monthly and

feature pictures and details of over 20 of our

listings. The Parklander mails directly to over

17,750 and The City News mails to 20,000 homes

and businesses in your area to get the local

attention you need!

Here are some of the ways we tap into the power of our fellow co-

brokers, ensuring maximum exposure:

We submit your property into the Multiple Listing Service, and follow up with daily

ebroadcasts and electronic brochures. This gives the other 40,000 members of the 7 different

Boards of Realtors® in the South Florida area all the information they need to sell your property.

Networking with fellow agents. We not only “talk your property up” to other agents, but we host

open house events with lunch and door prizes to encourage attendance. This provides an easy

opportunity for agents to preview your property, which increases the likelihood that it will be shown

and sold.

Marketing your property constantly to our top selling Brokers.

Our “Premier Broker” are agents who are the most active in our marketplace and most likely to assist

us in your sale. Our Premier Broker program offers added benefits such as 24/7 “back door” access to

showing instructions, customized marketing materials and perks for showing our listings.

Public Promotion

DuPree Team Luxury

Public Promotion

We believe “word of mouth is the best advertising.” Here is how we get

the word out:

We hold Broker Open Houses. On occasion we will host open houses around special events in

peak season.

We talk to the neighbors. We send out property brochures to surrounding home owners

announcing your home on the market. Neighbors are often our best source of referrals.

We talk to our Buyers. Through our Buyer Profile System we contact qualified Buyers in our

extensive database, local MLS system, and national referral networks.

We network through vital community organizations. We feel that it is important to give back to the

community and in doing so we often make friends who help us promote our properties and services.

whenever possible.

The Listing Process

During the Listing Process Communication is VitalCommunication is an area where many Realtors® fall short. In surveys conducted by NAR (National

Association of Realtors®), lack of communication from their agent was the #1 complaint from Sellers.

We are committed to being proactive in the listing process through systems and our team service.

Here are the ways we communicate with you:

We make personal calls to obtain feedback from all Realtors® that show your property and send

monthly reports to you via email to let you know your homes’ strengths and weaknesses. This

provides opinions and suggestions from other Realtors in the area and comments from potential

Buyers who view your property.

We keep you informed through a monthly report called a “Seller’s Update”. It includes a summary

of the showing feedback, a synopsis of the market activity, a current market analysis of your area,

links to internet marketing, advertisements, marketing action planned and our comments and

recommendations for any changes that need to be made in the market strategy of your property.

We transmit this, either electronically or by mail...however you want it.

Overpricing

Be Wary of Overpricing— Here’s What Happens:The wrong prospects look at the property, if any at all. People not only buy in price ranges,

they also look in price ranges.

Cooperating Realtors don’t want to lose creditability with their buyers by showing

overpriced listings.

Cooperating Realtors know from experience that fair offers on overpriced properties are

often rejected.

Buyers are often embarrassed to make offers considerably below the list price.

The property may become overexposed and shopworn. Cooperating Realtors and

potential buyers begin to assume there is something wrong with the property.

Even subsequent price reductions do not regain the lost market. Many qualified buyers

who inspect overpriced listings decide at that point to eliminate the property from consideration,

now and in the future.

When buyers see that a property has been on the market for a long period, they assume they can

get a bargain. Extremely low offers are likely.

Overpriced properties help sell those properties which are more competitively priced.

While overpriced properties may eventually sell, they usually sell for less than if they were

priced competitively priced when first offered for sale.

Solution: Price Competitively.
