Listing Process

Most people skip this part statistically, sellers only talk to one agent (NAR). This is your chance to learn, compare, and get a feel for who you trust. It’s completely normal to meet with a real estate agent three or four times before you sign anything. Ask the questions, take your time, and don’t be afraid to pivot. I’m genuinely happy to be one of the options you consider.

After the interviews, we’ll handle disclosures, the listing agreement, and a bit of pre-planning. This is the foundation so everything that follows feels straightforward. I’ll guide you through what’s required, what’s optional, and what to expect. We’ll set a clear and seamless process from day one. You should feel prepared and confident here not uncertain or on edge.

This is the prep phase where we make the home feel effortless to walk through. We’ll pre-pack what you don’t need day-to-day, declutter, and do a true deep clean (windows included). The goal is simple: potential buyers should focus soley on the home, fixtures, and not your personal property. Optional, getting a pre-listing inspection for confidence, discovery, and disclosure.

If staging makes sense we’ll treat it like what it really is: a marketing decision. The goal isn’t to “decorate a house,” it’s to help buyers understand the space, feel the lifestyle, and emotionally connect the moment they walk in and or see it online. Sometimes editing what you already have: removing personal items, repositioning furniture, tightening the look, and styling the home so it photographs cleanly and shows even better in person. We’ll choose the level that makes sense for your home, your timeline, and the type of buyer we’re trying to attract.

We’ll build a pricing strategy while walking through what to expect, then schedule professional photography (including twilight/sunset shots when it adds value). If needed, we’ll plan periodic photo refreshes so the listing stays visually current every 30 days. Next, we’ll identify what makes your property stand out and turn that into a consistent story across the listing description, online marketing, including high-quality brochures buyers can take home. All the marketing is included, ask Sydney for a mock settlement statement.

We’ll set a showing plan (and open house dates, if any), and once we’re live, I’ll manage the flow and communicate the way you prefer either sweet and short or long and detailed. You’ll get feedback in your preferred format, and if we need to adjust anything, I’ll recommend it clearly and early. When offers come in, we evaluate more than price: terms, financing strength, timelines, and risk. Offers don’t always align on the first try, and sometimes it takes multiple offers or counteroffers before the right one lands and matches your goals and risk tolerance.
