The No Hassle Listing Home Marketing System
Please read prior to your Appointment with Patrick

Hi, I’m Patrick Tuttle, “The Real Estate Guy”. Creator of El Paso’s one and only “No Hassle Listing Home Marketing System”. Since you are thinking of selling your home, you’ll be glad you found out about me and my services. Years ago, before I moved to El Paso and got into real estate, I enlisted the service of an agent to help me sell my home. After eight months of showings, an empty flyer box on our sign post, and infrequent communication with our agent, the home finally sold. Frustrated with the service that I had received, and the fees I paid for the service, I vowed never to use an agent again. But, in 2001, I was advised to get my real estate license and become a Realtor®. Remembering the poor service I received as a seller, and the 17 years I spent in the retail grocery business providing quality products at a fair price with great customer service, I felt that I could provide great service at a fair price and become the premier provider of real estate services in El Paso. Today, I am one of El Paso’s most active agents selling more than ten times as much as the average agent. And I keep a client list that includes people from many ethnic and demographic groups. My goal is to help you sell your home in such a way that you will be so satisfied with my service that you will become one of my Raving Fans, so that you will sing my praises to your friends and family that are looking for a great Realtor® with service that can’t be matched. I’m not bragging. I’m applying for a job. I want to be your Realtor®... For Life.
Patrick Tuttle “The Real Estate Guy”

As a mortgage lender, I work with dozens of real estate agents on a weekly basis. I can consistently say without hesitation that Patrick Tuttle is El Paso’s BEST Realtor. Patrick is very professional, prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and ethical. Each home buyer and seller I have referred to him has been well taken care of and 100% satisfied, and of course Pat is the agent of choice in my own real estate investments!

We tried to sell our home by ourselves but after listing it with Pat, we had a contract within 24 hours! And this was the slow time of the year! We were offered top dollar for our home and Pat was with us in dealing with each and every issue even after our sale and move to another city. Your service was excellent - courteous, efficient, thorough and always professional! Thank you! Josue and Lee Ann Valerio
Patrick Tuttle and his staff took all the stress out of selling my mother's house. They were always ready to go the extra mile to insure that everything went smoothly. I was extremely pleased with your service and ease of doing business with you. Patrick Tuttle IS "The Real Estate Guy"
Dale Hunt
When we decided to sell our investment property, we were looking for a Realtor that could sell and close in a few weeks. One of our friends recommended Patrick Tuttle and he was able to sell our house in 30+ days. Also, because of his knowledge of the market, we were able to sell our house for a lot more than we were expecting. Your services are excellent and we plan to call you when we decide to sell our other properties. I really enjoyed the accurate information on how to sell my house and complete repairs. I wish I could recommend improvements, but all of your services are excellent. Also, we plan to pass our good experience to our friends and relatives. If you need a professional Realtor, call Pat.
Tony and Margarita Palomino
Thank you Pat! You helped me purchase my first home for $2,000 less than the appraisal and it wasn’t even listed for sale! That is what I call SERVICE!
Todd Fronce
We were relocating from Brazoria, Texas and we weren’t able to stay in El Paso to see houses. We called Pat and he offered to take pictures of houses and email them to us until we found a house we liked. We never thought we would have bought a house that we hadn’t seen in person. But thanks to the thoroughness of Pat and his honesty, we bought a great house in the neighborhood we wanted and in only four days from the time we saw the pictures! Pat, I recommend your services to anyone!
Alan and Pam Lambert
Mr. Tuttle knows people and the property he shows. I told him what I wanted in a property and he hit it "right on". I tried working with other Realtors but they just showed me what they needed to sell. Thank you Mr. Tuttle for your hard work. I now have a great home for my family.
Debbie Morquecho
Yes, we were skeptical about the "59 Days or I'll Sell It for FREE" guaranteed sale program that Pat offered. But, what did we have to lose. We priced our home at the price Pat recommended and it didn't sell within 59 days. After the 59 days had passed, Pat called us and suggested that we lower our price since his portion of the fee was going to be waived. So, we lowered the asking price to what Pat recommended and within 24 hours of lowering the price we got an offer that we negotiated to a contract. And no, Pat didn't charge us a dime. He honored his word and he got our house sold. We recommend Patrick Tuttle without hesitation.
Joe and Ruth Dominquez
We thought about selling "BY OWNER" but never got around to it. Pat told us what he thought our house would sell for whether with him or "BY OWNER". When we finally did list it with him, we received the first offer ten days later. Pat negotiated that contract to get us $2,000 above list price. Pat, you did a great job!"
Roger and Trish Hiduk
I appreciated being kept informed and up to date on the progress being made on the sale of my mother's house. I enjoyed your confident approach to all matters and you were very courteous and professional. When the first buyer backed out from the contract, Mr. Tuttle was well prepared by having a back up contract that we closed two weeks later. Thank you for your help.

Ordinary Agent Other “Top” Agents Patrick Tuttle

agents sell fewer than 6 houses each year
while other “Top
Agents” sell 22 to 30 houses a
year.
In 2011 Patrick
Sold over 60 homes

What Works Proper Seller Preparation—If you are not ready to sell in the next ninety days, there’s no sense putting your home on the market now. Homes that sit on the market more than ninety days get stale and sell for less than market value. Proper Home Preparation—If your home is not ready to sell, there’s no sense putting it on the market. Today’s buyer pool is more demanding than ever. Homes that need updating, cleaning, or work on deferred maintenance typically sell for much less than they could. Making sure that your home is ready to sell is vital to getting the highest price possible. Please read page 8 about Staging (occupied homes only). Proper Pricing—Just like stocks and bonds, real estate values fluctuate too. Patrick analyzes the supply of homes on the market to help you price your home to sell under the current market conditions. Without proper pricing, you are only helping your competition sell to your potential buyer. Constant Follow Through and Follow Up– Patrick uses the latest tools and technologies as well as good old-fashioned telephone calling to follow up on each showing. Then, Patrick follows up with you, the seller, to help you make decisions that will help you sell faster. Superior Marketing-With a combination of great photography, maximum online submissions, and the RE/MAX sign in your yard, Patrick’s marketing of your home is unmatched. And, you’ll receive weekly email updates to show you how many online hits your home has received.
Simply put, Patrick focuses his efforts on marketing that works to get homes sold.

Pricing High to leave room to negotiate-The fact is that negotiation begins before a potential buyer ever sees the house listed for sale. If your house is priced above the market value, buyers will be comparing your home to homes that are more valuable. Buyers shop price first, then they shop value in a price range. Open Houses– These may work great for builders, but with the quality of pictures on the internet, real buyers can search for homes that fit their criteria from the comfort of their home or office. If they are actively looking for a home, they’ll call Patrick, or their agent to set up a showing. It is much more productive to show your home to a qualified buyer who is actively looking for a home than to a nosey neighbor who just wants to see your decorations. Realtor Open Houses– After hosting hundreds of Realtor Open Houses and spending thousands of dollars serving lunch at these events, Patrick realized that not once did they produce a sale. More often than not, the agents who came to these events only wanted to know what was for lunch. Homes Magazine Ads-With the quality of advertising on the internet, and the increased use of web enabled mobile devices, the Homes Magazine Ad has gone the way of the dinosaur. According to the National Association of Realtors 2011 Survey of Home Buyers and Sellers, over 90% of home buyers started their search online. It just makes sense to fish where the fish are. Paper Flyers on the Signpost– In today’s technology driven world, home buyers want instant access to data. Paper flyers were great, but QR codes are better. Active buyers can scan a QR code and instantly be taken to a video, or virtual tour of your home. You can take a sample tour on page 9.
Simply put, Patrick focuses his efforts on marketing that works to get homes sold.
What Doesn’t Work
8
Because Every Home Receives a
Professional Staging Consultation
How This Benefits You… Staging a home that is for sale is one of the smartest decisions a seller can make. Home
staging can turn a cold and lifeless looking property into a warm and inviting home in a
potential buyer’s mind and increase the selling price as well. The following is a summary of
the results of HomeGain’s 2007 national survey, based on the ten areas of home improvement.
They are listed from the highest to lowest returns on investment:
Project Typical Cost Price Increase ROI % Agents Recommend
Lighten & brighten $233 - 370 $1,178 - 1,566 355% 97% Clean and de-clutter $190 - 318 $1,505 - 1,937 578% 97% Landscape front/back yards $378 - 546 $1,718 - 2,158 319% 97% Stage home for sale $403 - 584 $1,938 - 2,431 343% 91% Repair electrical or plumbing $436 - 621 $1,205 - 1,590 164% 93% Repair damaged flooring $628 - 878 $1,633 - 2,061 145% 94% Update kitchen & bathrooms $1,404 - 1,828 $3,216 - 3,934 121% 87%
Replace or shampoo carpeting $562 - 808 $1,532 - 1,950 154% 98%
Paint exterior walls $663 - 938 $1,757 - 2,205 147% 88%
Paint Interior walls $651 - 920 $1,741 - 2,179 150% 97%
As you can see it is the small improvements that can have the greatest impact on the sale price
of your home. Most homeowners who make structural improvements such as adding bedrooms,
bathrooms and swimming pools rarely recover their investment when they sell their home.
9
Because Every Home Gets a
Virtual Tour
How This Benefits You… Virtual tours have made the rare leap from novelty to marketing must-have. As
more buyers begin their property search online, a Web tour is often their preferred
introduction to their next home and to the real estate professional who’ll guide
them to closing. For sellers, tours help separate serious buyers from Lookie-Lous.
Internet buyers research three times as long prior to contacting a Realtor® and
one third as long after contacting a Realtor®. Listings with a virtual tour receive
40% more views than listings without virtual tours. Additionally, QR codes allow
potential buyers to scan a code that will lead them to a Youtube.com video. Use
your Smartphone to scan the code below to see a sample tour.

10
Because Patrick uses ShowingSuite.com
to Gather Showing Feedback
How This Benefits You…
Using ShowingSuite.com to gather feedback from showing agents has increased
Patrick’s feedback received percentages from about 5% to over 40%. Many
agents don't care to give feedback on their showings. That in itself is feedback
that the buyer and the agent did not like the home enough to pursue it. When we
do get feedback, you’ll see exactly what the buyer/agent thinks about your home.
You will hear what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.
The agents that do give us feedback are entered into a monthly drawing for a cash
prize of $25.
Additional features include:
Send up to 5 emails requesting feedback.
Completely customize the questions asked.
Include up to 8 property photos.
Easily announce any listing changes.
Seller login access available 24/7.
11
Because Patrick Involves Your Children and Teens in the Sale
As Well As You
Moving can be stressful on a family, especially children. That is why Patrick
created the Clean Kids and Clean Teens Club. Your children will receive a
personalized letter from Patrick explaining that you need their help keeping the
house clean and in good order. Their reward for keeping their rooms clean, toys,
video games, and more put away is either a movie ticket or a gift certificate every
thirty days you are living in the house while it is on the market. This allows
Patrick to be the bad guy if they are not cooperating and gives you a little help in
getting them involved with the sale.
12
Because you can
Cancel the Listing at
ANY TIME.
Either you or Patrick can cancel the listing by saying
“I want to cancel the listing.”
It’s that simple.
If you cancel, all Patrick asks is that you pay a one time
cancellation fee of $750*. Most agents will hold you to a
six month or one year listing with NO way out.
If Patrick cancels, you owe him nothing.
*Before your house goes on the market, Patrick is writing checks to service
providers for staging, photography, marketing and office staff for processing your
home for sale. This cancellation fee reimburses him for these expenses.
13
No Pressure Presentation Patrick will never allow you to be pressured by a
buyer’s agent. All offers will be faxed or delivered to his
office and presented to you by phone, fax or email so that
you can make your decisions privately. With every offer,
Patrick will complete a Sellers Estimated Net Sheet
showing you what fees and costs would be paid for the
offer as written. Patrick will need a good estimate of
your mortgage balance if you have a mortgage. With
this information, Patrick can be extremely accurate in
calculating your bottom line so that you can make an
informed decision about selling your house or making a
counter offer to the buyer.
14
Because you don't pay
Advance Fees or Transaction Fees
of Any Kind Marketing is expensive. From the time you agree to hire
Patrick, he begins writing checks to the decorator, the
photographer, the sign guy, and the online advertising sites such
as Realtor.com. Many agents don’t have the resources to pay
for staging, virtual tours, signs, or advertising and they will ask
for a “Retainer Fee” to get their marketing started.
With Patrick, you only pay if he’d procures an offer that is
acceptable to you. And then he gets paid at closing by the title
company. Plus, Patrick doesn’t tack on an additional
‘Transaction Fee” to pad his pockets. He looks out for your
interests.
15
How Most Agents
Operate
Undertake to juggle all these tasks
by himself or herself.
Eventually run up against the limits
of time, energy, and money.
Few homes sold means limited cash
flow to invest back into advertising
your home.
Limited time means less time to
spend with you.
How Patrick
Operates
You get a whole team of
professionals working for you
(versus a single agent).
He never run out of time for you
because each of his team has a
separate responsible for a specific
process in the selling of your home.
Their combined efforts add up to
superior marketing and customer
service resulting in your home sold
fast and for top dollar.
16
Because most brokers will charge you the same fee no matter how your home sells… even if you find the buyer.
With the Patrick, you have great flexibility
Another agent represents the buyer. Patrick splits the fee with the other agent. If Patrick finds the buyer and writes the contract and no other agent is involved, the fee is reduced to 4.5%. If you find the buyer and no other agent is involved. Patrick writes the contract and walks it through escrow for you. The fee is 2.5%. You find the buyer and there is no other agent involved. You walk it through escrow. You pay no commission, but pay a $750 cancellation fee.

Many Agents think their most important job is satisfying the customer. I believe
that satisfying the customer is simply the minimum requirement for staying in
business.
My staff and I work constantly to improve our systems, processes and services
to go well beyond the standard level of "service" provided by most agents.
Simply put, my objective is to get you the most money in the least time, and
with the fewest hassles.
I want to provide the best service in the industry. Period. I want to make you so
satisfied that you listed your home with me that you will gladly refer me to your
friends and family.
I look forward to serving you, I’m here to help,
Patrick Tuttle
