Together, as a partnership, we will collaborate in regards to market conditions, pricing and positioning strategies, preparing your property for sale, traditional and internet marketing strategies, real estate databases, individual showings, open houses (and the feedback), continual monitoring of the competition, offers to purchase, negotiation strategies, mortgage pre-approvals, home inspection issues and the final purchase and sales agreement. All the while addressing what is customary in the marketplace in an effort to secure that your property closes! In the last 12 years, I have sold 97% of my exclusive property listings...that means I successfully close almost every property I list for sale. While other agents may be debating the current market conditions, I will remain focused on creating strategies and maintaining a strong negotiating position with aggressive yet honorable sales tactics. I like to refer to this as my Valued Client Service Program VCSP!

You will have 24/7 on-line access to all the real estate tools necessary to research the market and perform our transaction right here totally web-based...you will be able to monitor the market and your transaction from anywhere in the world! With the help of my 10 Steps to a Smooth Purchase and/or Sale you will have access to all currently Available Properties (Live feed from LINKBoston.com with Google Map), the most recent Sales Data (updated monthly), Open Houses, and my list of Trusted Legal Counsel and Trusted Vendors. When the time comes, my website provides Moving Information with tips and recommendations as well as little extras like the ability to change your address and utilities on-line, arrange parking permits and much more. Finally, just prior to the actual closing, we will discuss the final Closing Information and coordinate your actual closing schedule. My commitment to you is to provide experience, expertise, honesty and a willingness to do what it takes to deliver in difficult circumstances!

Please Note:  New Legislation in regards to Agency Disclosure has been adopted as of July 1, 2005. There are some major changes from the State of Massachusetts in regards to Agency Representation. Please review the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons "Facts for Consumers". If you're going to enlist the services of a real estate agent, shouldn't they have at least 12 years experience specializing in Downtown Boston's Historic Neighborhoods?

I have been a Realtor®" since 1995 and a member of The National Association of Realtors NAR, The Massachusetts Association of Realtors MAR and The Greater Boston Real Estate Board GBREB. I recommend that you review The Massachusetts Real Estate Licensing Board's "Things Sellers Should Know when Dealing with a Real Estate Agent". You might also want to review industry tips on "What is a Realtor®", Why Use REMAX and "How to Sell a Home".

I pride myself on four tangible items of service: total accessibility and cooperation with constant feedback and follow-up, down to earth honesty and integrity, the latest in technology integrated into all the traditional real estate services, and aggressive yet honorable sales tactics! If you choose to enlist my services, your prospective buyer's will not interact with a team of inexperienced assistants. Rather, I will personally oversee all aspects of your home sale and will be in constant contact with you, your attorney, the buyer's agent and the buyer’s lender throughout the entire transaction in an effort to monitor the progress and to assure that your property ultimately closes without incident. In doing so, I have comprised a Sample Property Questionnaire and a Sample Seller Chronological Task List designed to keep myself apprised of every detail from start to finish! You will also have world wide access to your Sample Seller On-line Transaction right here on my website allowing you to monitor every aspect of your transaction until your property closes! My goal is to provide a superior level of high-touch service with the help of my 10 Steps to a Smooth Purchase and/or Sale so that you can feel very much a part of this transaction while still going about your busy life!

My client base speaks for itself with Testimonials graciously expressing opinions of my services. Over the past several years more than ±95% of my business has been from existing clients and the referrals of their friends, relatives, neighbors and business associates. My promise to you is that I will always remember this is your property and your transaction, to work with you as a partner and to always respect and convey your decisions in the best possible light! I will strive to facilitate your transaction while maintaining client confidentiality and effectively protecting your best interests. Typically I try to prioritize no more than a dozen clients each quarter...this allows me to focus 100% of my energies on your property and not spend my time looking for new business! I hope to prove that after executing our agreement, service will not be an unexpected bonus, but rather another opportunity to earn your trust and your hopefully future business. In turn, my goal is to prove worthy of requesting the referral of your friends, relatives, neighbors and business associates!

My Real Estate Philosophies

You could sell your own home...and if the agent in question does not have the necessary experience I respectfully suggest that you do so! You could hang a for sale sign on your property, place an advertisement in The Boston Globe, submit your listing to various websites including www.boston.com, www.craigslist.org, www.aol.com,  www.msn.com, and now even post your property in your local MLS...then you can call all your neighbors, friends, relatives and business associates, dispatch mailings, host open houses, schedule individual showings, follow up with the prospects...negotiate with the buyer and or broker over price, dates, the P&S, disclosures, home inspection issues (or what I call the "buyer's remorse period of mourning"), deal with the mortgage company, the attorneys, appraisers, under writers and all the while making sure that the buyer is still in the deal?...etc., etc., etc! Some home owners may ultimately sell their own homes, but to be successful in this market the process usually requires the interaction of a professional Realtor®" representing your interests as the real estate market is a "living and breathing" thing consisting of real people with different needs, wants, preferences, financing issues, time frames, and most importantly; opinions of value! In addition, today the vast majority of buyers have an Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement which substantially limits the amount of prospects that can purchase your home without involving a real estate agent. If you're going to enlist the services of a seller's agent, shouldn't they have at least 12 years experience specializing in Downtown Boston's Historic Neighborhoods?

However, we may have different opinions of what my job is? You may think that my job is to advertise your property until it sells. I really try to do things differently...I believe my job is to find the right buyer at the highest possible selling price...I only get paid if I ensure that your property closes! What I believe you pay a real estate commission for is the unlimited exposure of your property to the global network of real estate agents across the city and state, every prospective buyer, relocation prospects from around the world, your neighbors and the general public. I believe you need an experienced negotiator with a comprehensive overview of the market and an innate understanding of buyer's motivations combined with the expertise and experience to close the deal! What separates me from the average real estate salesperson is honesty and intuition; two things that can't be taught. Combine this with a strong knowledge of the market and you have an ally in residential search that is difficult to discover; anywhere!

My philosophy is that real estate as not a science. I liken it to cooking; not as exact as baking, but not as easy as roasting a pop-up chicken. I think it is more like the type of cooking that requires constant monitoring so we don’t spoil the soup. You'll be the Executive Chef designing the menu and controlling the temperature and timing…I will oversee the kitchen respecting and conveying your decisions based on your time frame and preferences. While other agents may be debating the current market conditions, I will remain focused on creating strategies and maintaining a strong negotiating position with aggressive yet honorable sales tactics!

"No one in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX®." With more than 125,000 Sales Associates in more than 6,500 offices worldwide, RE/MAX is the world's largest Real Estate Company! I have been representing sellers since 1995 specializing in Downtown Boston's Historic Neighborhoods with the proven experience of closing ±300 properties totaling over a quarter of a billion dollars! In the last 12 years, I have sold 97% of all my exclusive property listings...that means I successfully close almost every property I list for sale! I am a Realtor®" and have been a member of The National Association of Realtors NAR, The Massachusetts Association of Realtors MAR and The Greater Boston Real Estate Board GBREB since 1995. Blah, blah, blah...right?

Why do I choose to associate with RE/MAX? Because "each office is independently owned and operated" as franchises throughout Boston's historic neighborhoods affording me the ability to truly represent your best interests in almost all instances. The most significant benefit that I offer as a RE/MAX agent is the lack of Dual Agency Disclosure which is very much an issue you should be aware of in this market. In my humble opinion, Dual Agency is without doubt an irreconcilable conflict of interest for the vast majority of sellers and buyers! And why not have the power of the world's largest real estate company on your side...can't do anything but help, right? By the way. I am well aware that some see the red, white and blue as a little hokey, but trust me the buyer's don't care...as a matter of fact what they see is the broker that you have hired; and whether she/he is a closer or not!!!

I am also proud to say that with every property I sell, a donation is made to the Children's Miracle Network and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through RE/MAX International. If you are considering selling and/or buying property now or in the future, please feel free to call my cell phone at (617) 283-5044 or email Rich@RichHaen.com to discuss your particular concerns and/or schedule a private consultation. I look forward to the opportunity to earn your trust and your subsequent business.

Children's Miracle Network and RE/MAX are joined by their desire to provide local community hospitals with modern tools and information. Since RE/MAX became the exclusive real estate sponsor of Children's Miracle Network in 1992, RE/MAX Associates have raised nearly $75 million for the cause. Founded in 1983, Children's Miracle Network generates health care funds and awareness programs to benefit children. The nonprofit organization's 170 participating hospitals across North America help 17 million children annually... read more »

With its "RE/MAX Racing for Life®" slogan, RE/MAX is proud to be a co-sponsor of the National Series Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program at Komen Race for the Cure events. Together with its affiliate network, corporate partners and various donors, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested more than $630 million in research, education, screening and treatment since 1982. The foundation is best known for its Race for the Cure events, the world's largest series of 5K runs and fitness walks. Komen estimates that more than 1 million people participated in its 2006 races... read more »

I generally recommend pricing aggressively yet realistically and then respond appropriately based simply on how the market reacts to your property; as prices are ultimately dictated by "how much the market will bare"! My commitment has always been to provide an honest yet aggressive assessment of your home's current market value based solely on the facts. My goal is to always offer my clients the appropriate guidance on pricing depending upon their time frame and preferences, while respecting and conveying your decisions! I believe that to be successful in this market it is critical to have a truly competitive price accompanied with an experienced closer who will position your property to attract the buyer who will pay the highest possible selling price!

With 24/7 on-line access to all currently Available Properties and the most recent Sales Data, we will determine your property's highest possible selling price by preparing a CMA or Competitive Market Analysis! With the help of my list of Trusted Vendors, we could also discuss any repairs and/or staging of your property so that it appeals to the vast majority of home buyers...a highly coveted commodity! I also suggest that you preview Sunday Open Houses so that you can better judge the true value of your home in comparison to the current competition. This market is so sensitive to price, that if the market perceives your price as too high they many times will not even make an offer! In an effort to capture as much activity as possible, I respectfully suggest a realistic pricing strategy in an earnest effort to avoid extremely disappointing results after you execute a property listing agreement with me! Again, I liken it to cooking; "when it's hot it's HOT...but when its not it's COLD"!

There are many reasons to be confident that this market has fared better than most due primarily to Boston's owner occupancy rate currently hovering at ±75%! Fortunately, there has been almost no increase in the foreclosure rates and "sub-prime financing" was not a real factor in the downtown real estate market. However, it is quite evident based solely on the most recent Sales Data that Downtown Boston's property values dropped ±5-10% over the course of the past two years...the higher the price the higher the hit (statistics compiled from www.LINKBoston.com). Realistically, buyer's level of motivation and subsequent demand will most likely continue but ONLY for well-priced properties in all of Downtown Boston's Historic Neighborhoods!

However, I have been in the business long enough to know that an aggressively yet realistically priced property combined with a comprehensive Traditional Media & Internet-Based Marketing Strategy should be securely under agreement within the first ±30-60 days (as always, depending upon your time frame and preference), and then close within the next ±30-60 days. The level of activity we receive is the only true barometer of how the market has responded to your price? I try to price your property aggressively yet realistically with a plan that fits your time frame and preferences: so that it will sell quickly but at a price that doesn't "leave money on the table”. The next steps are global exposure to the entire network of real estate agents and their perspective buyers from around the world...all the while maintaining a strong negotiating position with a consistent yet flexible marketing strategy!

Until the spring market of 2005, provided that I marketed your home and followed through with a few brokers and buyers, your home would sell within days or a few weeks. Today the market is quite different...knowledge and experience alone is not enough as the current market conditions are severely affected by a limited pool of prospective buyers accompanied by an enormous amount of competition. On that note, it is paramount to be completely honest and up front with you in regards to the current value of your home...even at the risk of loosing your business to another agent who is willing to list your home for sale at any price. I also believe that my job is now to then identify the prospects who are genuinely interested in your property and focus on them...all the while trying to convert them from prospects into buyers. I do this with years of experience reassuring your prospects that they have my interest, professionalism and integrity and then work every offer to the fullest extent! If we position ourselves properly so that we have the vast majority of the spring or fall market on our side, how aggressive you choose to price your home should be based primarily on your time frame!

Technology easily allows prospective buyers the ability to identify properties that are lingering on the market! Many times agents will intentionally over-price your home in an effort to 'buy your listing.' This is, without question, not in your best interest as an over priced property listing is a liability as statistics prove time and again that the best price is usually secured within the first few weeks of exposure to the general public. In my experience, if the interest level from the current buyer pool is low, nine out of ten times, the reason is that the market simply disagrees with the price. If a seller ignores this feedback -- or if a real estate agent does not discuss these issues with their client -- many times the risk of your property being labeled as "tired inventory" is inevitable! Allowing your property to sit on the market for too long will inevitably cost you time, added stress, and most of all money. Conversely, I respectfully suggest we acknowledge the reality of the market throughout the entire sales process whatever that may be, and then strategize accordingly in an attempt to consummate a financially successful and honorable transaction at the highest possible selling price!

Global exposure is the cornerstone of today's technologically advanced marketplace! My guarantee is to provide you with a comprehensive Traditional Media & Internet Based Marketing Strategy designed and maintained by Boston Logic combining all of today's technological advances with the traditional real estate services! Equally important, your property will be listed on both the nation's largest real estate database Multiple Listing Service MLS and LINKBoston.com which is Downtown Boston's #1 Real Estate database of choice. The benefit to you the seller is the global exposure of your property to the entire network of real estate agents and every prospective buyer in the market, relocation prospects from around the world and the general public. You can be certain that your property will reach the targeted audience...this strategy leaves no stone unturned!

The Traditional Media Marketing Strategy will include individual advertisements featuring your property in The Boston Homes Newspaper and a 500 piece QuantumMail.com Post Card to your immediate neighbors! The Internet Based Marketing Strategy will be heavily leveraged conveying a consistent message throughout the entire internet! To introduce your property to the most serious and able buyers, both our Traditional and Internet Marketing Strategy will be strategically launched four days in advance of the 1st Open House and will continue until your property is firmly under contract. All of my marketing strategies have been designed in an effort to entice prospects to view your property over the competition!

Together we will prepare a tailor-made marketing strategy focusing individual attention on your property! We will include a complete description highlighting the best features and benefits of your home, additional amenities recent updates, professional photographs and a virtual tour, building and/or condominium statistics, on-line Neighborhood Information, and a Google Map pinpointing the exact location of your property. All Open Houses will be posted in the Boston Homes and on all websites along with a map pinpointing your exact location so that it is very easy for your prospective buyers to locate your property!

The Friday prior to launching your property listing, you will receive an electronic Sample Marketing Campaign Blitz for your review! Throughout your sales cycle you will receive bi-monthly Sample Status Updates including a summary of the most recent activity from individual showings and open houses as well as the feedback, statistics of the number of visitors from all the various websites, proofs of the media coverage, an updated list of the current competition, the most recently sold properties in your price range...and as always my best advise as to how I suggest we proceed. You will also have world wide access to your Sample Seller On-line Transaction right here on my website allowing you to monitor every aspect of your transaction. My goal is to provide a superior level of high-touch service with the help of my 10 Steps to a Smooth Purchase and/or Sale so that you can feel very much a part of this transaction while still going about your busy life!

Internet Based Marketing Strategy

 

I firmly believe that the vast majority of buyers today rely heavily upon the internet for their property search! In fact, statistics from the National Association of Realtors NAR show that ±80% of all prospective buyers searched for their new home on the internet since 2000. I believe that in an educated urban market like Boston, that percentage is even higher! Therefore 24/7 internet based marketing will be heavily leveraged conveying a consistent marketing strategy throughout the entire internet!

In addition, while all other national real estate companies have reduced their national television and magazine exposure, REMAX has increased their 2008 budget by 10%....exceeding over $1 Billion Dollars in National Television and Newspaper Exposure!

 

Boston Logic...Information Technology!

Web Development. Online Marketing.

Boston Logic Technology Partners help me "leverage technology to grow and run my business forming partnerships with my clients, by achieving measurable success" in the process of selling your home. My marketing strategies have been designed and are constantly maintained by Boston Logic combining all today's technological advances with the traditional real estate services in an effort to entice prospects to view your property over the competition!

Although a comprehensive global marketing strategy is vital, the network of real estate agents will provide the vast majority of all prospective buyers through the use of the two major real estate databases! Therefore, your property will appear on Multiple Listing Service or MLS the nation's largest real estate database and Listing Information Network or LINK downtown Boston's #1 real estate database. The benefit to you the seller, is the unlimited exposure of your property to every prospective buyer, all real estate agents, their buyers, relocation prospects from around the world, your neighbors and the general public...again in this way we will again leave no stone unturned!

Multiple Listing Service or MLSpin.com

Your property will appear on the nation's largest real estate database! This presents your property to the entire network of real estate agents world-wide and their buyers, global relocation prospects, and the general public. Once we enter your property into the MLS database, we will receive an instantaneous number of buyers whose requested criteria match your property. The MLS database is the original source for the live-feed to the major consumer website's such as www.realtor.com, www.remax.com, (as well as all other major real estate company's website's), www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.boston.com,  www.aol.com, www.msn.com, and www.craigslist.org. The vast majority of the relocation prospects, as well as most suburban real estate agents, access this world wide real estate database.

Listing Information Network or LINK-online.com

Your property will appear on Downtown Boston's #1 real estate database! This presents your property to the local real estate agents and their buyers (the most serious and able buyers), your neighbors and the general public. The vast majority of prospective buyers from around the city will come from this local database as most downtown real estate agents and current property owners continue to rely upon the accuracy of this local database. The LINK-online database is the original source for the live-feed to the Boston Homes Newspaper.

I will personally accompany all showings not a team of inexperienced assistants! I will call you after any showings where the buyer has provided feedback that is worthy of discussing. My schedule is Monday thru Friday 9am-7pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am-4pm - unless of course we are negotiating a deal as I am equipped with 24/7 mobile phone and internet access during your entire sales cycle. If I am some how not available, which is very rare, I have excellent backup coverage from my office. As I have said before, in this market I believe my job is now to identify the prospects who are genuinely interested in your property and focus in on them...all the while trying to convert them from prospects into buyers. I do this with years of experience reassuring your prospects that they have my full interest, professionalism and integrity and then work every offer to the fullest extent! Honestly, how can a "team" of inexperienced assistants have the knowledge and experience to give you an accurate assessment of your particular situation and sound advice?

I will also personally attend your open houses not a team of inexperienced assistants! I will call you after the open house with the feedback from the buyers as well as agents. All open houses will be posted in the Boston Homes Newspaper, Multiple Listing Service MLS, LINK-online.com, www.realtor.com, www.remax.com, www.homestore.com, www.aol.com, www.msn.com, www.wallstreetjournal.com,  www.boston.com, www.craigslist.org and www.richhaen.com. Again, the ultimate goal of the Media Campaign is to create as much pent-up demand as possible prior to your property's 1st Open House and throughout the sales cycle!

I will also host future strategically scheduled open houses, but firmly believe that repeated open houses simply over expose a property creating a perception of desperation instead of a sense of confidence. However, if circumstances beyond our control, such as inclement weather, holidays, competition with other activities etc., affect the outcome, I will schedule another open house the next weekend available. If you wish, I will schedule a broker's preview a few days after the public open house. I will personally host all showings of your property as prospective buyers request any showings...the only true barometer of what the current market thinks of your property and the price!

Once you have an accepted and fully executed "Offer To Purchase Real Estate" the property is considered "Under Agreement". Please note that recent changes adopted by the MA Superior Judicial Court has determined that Offer to Purchase Real Estate Documents are Legally Binding provided that all contingencies have been satisfied. Customarily, the Purchase and Sale Agreement (commonly know as the P&S) is usually executed within the next fourteen (14) calendar days. The balance of the five to ten percent (5-10%) cash down payment is also customarily collected and submitted for deposit into the Seller's Real Estate Agency's Escrow Account (a personal check made payable to the listing agency is sufficient at this time). If this transaction is in conjunction with a 1031 tax-free exchange, please seek legal and/or tax advice ASAP! Please review the Estimated Closing Costs & Legal Updates and All Sample Offer To Purchase Real Estate Documents!

The Process

If you intend to be represented by legal counsel in your real estate transaction which is not mandatory but highly recommended, you might start by asking your current attorney for a recommendation if she/he does not practice real estate law. It also is a good idea to consult with your friends, relatives, neighbors and business associates for their legal counsel recommendations. However, the experiences of most of my clients have shown that it is usually best to hire an attorney who regularly practices real estate law and are familiar with the local real estate community.

I will be available to you and your attorney throughout the entire process and will coordinate the distribution and execution of the final Purchase and Sale Agreement and collection and deposit of the escrow funds. However, I truly believe that this is an opportunity for you and your legal counsel to discuss any and all of your concerns in regards to this transaction. You will be advised on many issues and will need to fully understand and agree to the final draft of the P&S. I strongly suggest that you read your entire P&S prior to execution. And by all means, if your P&S is not executed on time, I respectfully suggest that you or your attorney request a written extension from the buyer's counsel via facsimile. 

Recommendations 

I have been involved in many real estate transactions, and I can impart the names of five attorneys with confidence. Eric, David, John, Michael and Sarah are all well versed in Boston's real estate transactions. The vast majority of my client base has hired their services and already represent many lenders saving you time and money. Please review some typical "Legal Updates" with relevant information on the subject. This is not a recommendation, just another opportunity to do business by relationship...feel free to request references:
