Working With Me!

Step By Step Guidance

I will guide you through the process step by step – my goal is to ensure you are prepared and confident when your home goes on the market and satisfied at the closing table.

Market Ready

I will provide a checklist with recommended items to complete prior to going on the market. I know that life is busy and you may not be able to complete everything; that’s okay! We will work together to determine what should be prioritized.

Efficient & Seamless Experience

Selling your home can be a stressful process, but I am here to make it as seamless as possible! From coordinating pre-market items to negotiating with the buyers agent, my goal is to make sure it is an efficient and positive experience throughout.

I’m Your Trusted Advisor

Ultimately, I serve as your trusted advisor. Whether it is discussing strategic pricing, organizing stagers and painters, or working through negotiations, I am here to provide guidance each step of the way.

15 Steps to SOLD!

Consultation

During our COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION we will tour your home and go over what needs to be done to prepare it to sell. I will share the comps in your area with a comparative market analysis(CMA), and discuss strategic pricing and my marketing strategy that will sell your home for top dollar quickly.

Marketing Strategies

Our MARKETING will go above & beyond putting a sign in the yard and placing it in the MLS. We take pride in our custom marketing strategies. Your home will be showcased on social media, email, video & print marketing. We want to meet every possible buyer wherever they might be looking.

Staging & Pre-Inspection

If applicable, I may recommend staging & a pre-inspection. The goal of STAGING is having a trained eye come into your home and look at it as a buyer would. My ability to stage for the market will get your home show ready. We look at staging like we are creating a neutral palette, so that all buyers can envision themselves living there.

A PRE-INSPECTION will be done so that the buyers will have confidence to make an offer on the home.

Photography & Videography

Many times a buyer has already decided if they are interested in your home just from the pictures online, without ever stepping foot inside. Our PHOTOGRAPHY partners are the best at coming into your home and capturing it at its absolute best. Now, the pre-marketing can begin.

Coming Soon & Firm Exclusive

If applicable, we can list your home as “COMING SOON” in MLS. This will give buyers a sneak peek into your home before it is officially ready to show.

FIRM EXCLUSIVE is another option for the most discerning clients. Your home will be marketed within our firm to all of our brokers.

Active On Market

Now that we have completed all the steps to prepare your home for market, it’s time to go LIVE . Our marketing plan will also go live and your home will be presented to thousands across our market as well as the world with our Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® global network.

Showings / Open House

Keeping your home show ready is the key to being sold quickly. I will share tips with you to keep the guess work out of making sure you are ready for all SHOWINGS. Keeping a clean, shiny, and clutter-free home will ensure buyers only see the best things about your home.

Here is what the settlement doesn’t change:

• Agents who are REALTORS® are here to help you navigate the process of selling your home and are ethically obligated to work in your best interest.

• Compensation for your agent remains fully negotiable, and if your agent is a REALTOR®, they must abide by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and have clear and transparent discussions with you about compensation. When finding an agent to work with, ask questions about compensation and discuss what you would like to offer buyers.

• You have choices Work with your agent to understand the full range of these choices when selling your home, which will help you make the best possible decision for your needs.
