ESTABLISHING A PRICING STRATEGY
THE BEST GUIDE TO A PROPERTY’S MARKET VALUE An impartial evaluation of market activity is the most effective way t o estimate a property’s potential selling price. A Comparative Market Analysis considers similar properties that:
Have sold in the recent past
Are currently on the market (in com petit ion wit h your pr oper t y f or buyers)
Are competitive b u t are within a slightly lower price range
Failed t o attract a qualified buyer
The Risks of Over-pricing Over-pricing can damage the chances f or a successful home sale. It may:
Prolong the time a pr oper t y is on the market
Diminish the im pact of the marketing plan
Reduce the pool of prospective buyers
Result in a lower sales price

A HIGHER CALIBER OF SERVICE
MARY DE VRIES My background as Architect and developer has positioned me perfectly to become a top selling REALTORÂŽ in San Francisco. Beginning my career in Manhattan I very quickly became a principal in a design build firm, and 6 years later moved to San Francisco. Within another few years, I had purchased a condo, a house, and my first development site designing and building a multi-unit condominium project. My early years in the city also included raising three daughters in the Parnassus Heights neighborhood, just above Cole Valley.
A self-acclaimed "Real Estate Junkie� my enthusiasm for San Francisco's neighborhoods and houses and my vision for property potential are unparalleled. My astute negotiation skills serves my clients well. My client base has grown tremendously over the years as clients have spread the word about their satisfaction and enthusiasm in working together on their real estate sales or purchases. My success has quickly gained me membership in Top Agent Network, attained only by the top 10% of agents in the City, and the #1 Agent (out of 1400 agents) for Berkshire Hathaway Drysdale Properties.
TESTIMONIALS
“Mary was incredible and I would highly recommend her: She was very patient and provided a ton of great knowledge; She showed us many homes and was not at all pushy, and often would say this one's not for you; She is an SF native so knows the city very well; She was an architect for many years before becoming an agent, so she can help you see the potential of any property and also what it will take to get it there. She was recommended by a friend who had a great experience and also had good feedback from others they recommended. We will certainly use Mary again.” -Peter “We were introduced to Mary via a family friend. We had spoken with a few different realtors that were recommended to us, however, Mary really really made us feel that she had our best interests at heart and that she would help guide us through the process since it was our first experience as home buyers. Mary was committed to helping us find the home we wanted and that fit our budget.” -Jordan “Mary was great to work with. Purchasing our first home in San Francisco was a very daunting task but with her experience, architectural knowledge and contacts in the city we were able to have our answers to all questions resolved quickly!...It was particularly useful to have her knowledge of structural work too as we were looking at places with potential for renovations and Mary was always in touch with us when we needed advice.” -Ro “Mary is great. She took the time to walk us through our options, showed us many a listing and then one day, found us our home. Her follow through was excellent and timely, helping us to close in time and ironing out the little things that pop up at the 11th hour. The hidden nugget with Mary is that she's an architect by training so has a great eye for the details in a redone Victorian for example that we had no clue about. And she has given us some great referrals for vendors and service providers we've needed post closing. You can't go wrong with Mary.” -Dean “She was available daily and patiently helped me build the confidence I needed to make the investment. Mary was excellent. Highly, highly recommended!” -Maine “Mary has come to our house to this day and continues to stay in touch with us and gets to know our family as it grows. I highly recommend Mary and would refer her to anyone I knew, both on the selling and buying side.” -Jordan “We quickly realized how competitive the market was, and decided to buy a home we could renovate. Mary does a great job of being aggressive when needed on your behalf and is great at giving many different options and thinking outside the box. I was very glad to have Mary on my team and would highly recommend her.” -Kristinaw
WARREN BUFFETT “I would want to be associated with somebody where the financial strength was unquestioned and where the name stood for integrity. What other quality would you want that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices does not have; and I don’t think you could find one.” Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Known as the “Oracle of Omaha,” Warren Buffett is an investment guru and one of the richest and m ost respected businessmen in the world. Born in Nebraska in 1930, Warren Buffett demonstrated keen business abilities at a young age. He form ed Buffett Partnership Ltd. in 1956, and by 1965 he had assumed control of Berkshire Hathaway. Overseeing the g r o wt h of a conglomerate with holdings in the media, insurance, energy and food and beverage industries, Buffett became one of the world’s richest men and a celebrated philanthropist. EARLY LIFE: Business Empire: Businessman and investor. Born Warren Edward Buffett on August 30, 1930, in Omaha, Nebraska. Buffett’s father, Howard, worked as stockbroker and served as a U.S. congressman. His mother, Leila Stahl Buffett, was a homemaker. Buffett was the second of three children and the only boy. Buffett demonstrated a knack for financial and business matters early in his childhood. Friends and acquaintances have said the young boy was a mathematical prodigy wh o could add large columns of numbers in his head, a talent he occasionally demonstrated in his later years. W arren often visited his father’s stockbrokerage shop as a child, and chalked in the stock prices on the blackboard in the office. A t 11years old he made his first investment, buying three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share. The stock quickly dropped t o only $27, but Buffett held on tenaciously until they reached $40. He sold his shares at a small profit, b u t regretted the decision when Cities Service shot up t o nearly $ 2 0 0 a share. He later cited this experience as an early lesson in patience in investing. BUSINESS EMPIRE: Despite the success of Buffett Partnership, its founder dissolved the firm in 1969 to focus on the development of Berkshire Hathaway. He phased out its textile manufacturing division, instead expanding the company by buying assets in media (The W ashington Post), insurance (GEICO) and oil (Exxon). Immensely successful, the “Oracle of Omaha” even managed t o spin seemingly poor investments into gold, m ost notably with his purchase of scandal plagued Salomon Brothers in 1987. Following Berkshire Hathaway’s significant investment in Coca-Cola, Buffett became director of the company from 1989 until 2006. He has also served as director of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings, Graham Holdings Company and The Gillette Company.
