The Process

Steps to Sell Your Home

Seven steps from valuation to closing day, and what to expect at each one.

What's My Home Worth?

Before You List

Four Things That Move the Number

Accurate Pricing

Priced off real comps, not optimism. The first two weeks decide the outcome.

Standout Marketing

Professional photography and targeted reach to buyers actively searching your area.

Expert Negotiation

Price, repairs, appraisal gaps and timing. All of it is negotiable and all of it matters.

A Seamless Process

190 closings of pattern recognition. I see the problems before they become problems.

Step by Step

The Seven Step Selling Process

01

Valuation

I walk the home and pull comparable sales from your immediate area, then adjust for condition, updates, lot and layout. You see the comps I used and why. This is the conversation that determines almost everything downstream.

02

Prep and Stage

A punch list ranked by return: what is worth fixing, what is worth leaving, and what will never pay you back. Sometimes it is paint and decluttering. Sometimes it is nothing at all, and I will tell you that too.

03

Photography and Marketing

Professional photos, then MLS syndication out to the major portals and targeted promotion to buyers already searching your area and price band. Most buyers decide from the first three images, so this step is not cosmetic.

04

Showings

Feedback comes back to you, honestly, including the parts that sting. If we are getting traffic without offers, that is data about price. If we are not getting traffic at all, that is data about presentation.

05

Offers and Negotiation

We evaluate more than the top number: financing strength, contingencies, close date, appraisal handling. The highest offer is not reliably the best one, and a deal that falls out in week three costs you real momentum.

06

Inspections and Contingencies

The buyer inspects and usually asks for something. We decide together what to fix, what to credit and what to decline. Appraisal comes in here too, and if it lands low there are several ways to handle it.

07

Closing Day

You sign, the county records, funds release. I will have coordinated title, the lender and the buyer's side to hold the date, and I stay reachable afterward for the loose ends that always come up.

Step One

Start With the Number

Everything else follows from an honest valuation. That part is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
