Step 1: Schedule a Home Selling Consultation
Let’s talk goals, timing, and strategy. I’ll provide a personalized game plan tailored to your property and market. It is important to understand why you're selling and what you want to accomplish with your sale. Do you need to sell as soon as possible?

Step 4: Prepare Your Home for Listing
Declutter, depersonalize, and freshen up the space. I’ll offer tips—or connect you with local pros—for cleaning, staging, landscaping, or minor repairs if necessary to boost the value.
Step 5: Schedule Professional Photography & Marketing Prep
High-quality photos, videos, drone shots, floor plans, document compilation, and compelling descriptions make your home stand out across all platforms.
Step 6: Launch Your Listing
Your home goes live on the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, social media, and more. I’ll host open houses and private showings as needed.
Step 7: Review & Negotiate Offers
Once offers come in, I’ll break them down clearly, help you respond, and negotiate on your behalf for the best terms and price.
Step 8: Under Contract & Inspections
We’ll work through buyer inspections, appraisals, and financing contingencies—ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.
Step 9: Final Walkthrough & Closing Prep
We’ll tie up loose ends, schedule final cleanings or repairs if needed, and prepare you for closing day.
