Selling Your Home
My passion is helping clients prep their home for the market so they can sell quickly and earn top dollar.
What the home selling process looks like…
Every house is unique and has its own charm to focus on. I will work with you to build a comprehensive plan so we can get you the highest return on your investment.
Step 1 : We do a walk-through of your home
When you have decided it is time to sell your home, I will come over and do a walk through with you. I want to understand all the lovable parts of your home so we can share that story and highlight the best details when we put your property on the market.
Step 2: Prep your home to sell
Once I do my walkthrough with you, I will give you a list of recommended improvements to help make your home dialed and ready for eager buyers. It’s amazing how a few small affordable changes can positively impact buyers first impressions and increase your market value.
I have an incredible network of talented contractors and will get you set up for success each step of the way, wherever needed.
Step 3: Set your sale price
I will pull local comparative market data so we can price your home appropriately for this market. There are many data points to consider when pricing your home. The location of your home, recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area, the condition of your home, and the current market, are among the most impactful factors that determine your property’s value.

Step 4: Set a listing date
Once we have a full understanding of the timeline between your own time constraints and the timeline for your chosen repairs, we will set the listing date.
Everyone’s motivation for selling is different. I work work you based on your unique needs to ensure you are as successful as possible throughout the entire process within a realistic timeline.
Step 5: Stage and photograph
When all your improvements are complete, and just before our listing date, we will style out and stage your space. Staging is so important when it comes to getting the best return on your home and real estate investment. The numbers don’t lie and staging truly is a worthy investment. Once all the pieces are in place, our photographer will come take photos of your listing so we can market your property and show buyers their new potential home! Having professional photos to show off your home is a very affordable and impactful way to market your property.
Step 6: List and market your property
The time has come, your property is officially for sale. All our professional photos are published along with written detail of the property and specifications in MLS (Redfin / Zillow, etc.). Folks can shop and fall in love with your listing. This is when all the work you have put into getting your property ready for market pays off. The goal is to draw buyers to your listing en mass.
Buyers will schedule private showings with their realtors and come tour your home. I will host Open Houses and share special details about your home, the local attractions, and answer any questions buyers may ask about your property.
You will want to plan some time away from the home so potential buyers can easily tour your listing without scheduling conflicts or constraints.
Step 7: Review and accept offer
Once an offer comes in, I will present it to you and help explain the terms. You can decide whether or not to accept the offer based on your goals and needs.
If you receive more than one offer, you can compare and decide which offer to accept. Based on your goals, we pick the offer that’s best for you and your situation.
You sign the offer contract, legally binding the agreement.
Step 8: Negotiate with buyer requests
Depending on the offer you accepted, there will likely be a negotiation with the buyers based on their inspection results and appraisal result. Negotiation requests from the buyer typically include repair requests, credits, or reduced purchase price.
Step 9: Closing Day / Get Paid!
After you accept an offer, the countdown to closing day begins. Typically, it takes an average of 30 days from accepting the offer to close the transaction.
On closing day, the deed is transferred to the buyer and you get paid for the purchase of your home! This payment is processed by the Title Company to your bank account.
On closing day the buyer takes possession, and they get their keys at 5pm.
Alternatively, if you are waiting to move to your next property, you might have agreed to close with rent back. This allows you to live in the house as a tenant for an agreed period of time.
