Meet & Chat

Together, we’ll sit down and discuss your selling objectives and timeline. We’ll tour your home and develop a strategy to maximize its appeal to potential buyers.

Preparing Home

Based on our conversations, we’ll discuss any repairs or touch-ups and get your home staged for photos and showings. We’ll also set up the lockbox so it’s ready when we need it.

List & Market

Once your home is ready, we’ll create a comprehensive listing and implement a targeted marketing strategy. In addition to the MLS®, we may post it on social media, digital or print marketing, and have an open house.

When offers start coming in, we’ll negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible price and terms for the sale of your home. 

Inspections & Appraisal

We’ll coordinate any necessary inspections and appraisal processes, ensuring that your home meets all requirements and facilitating a smooth transaction.
