Some say selling a home is one of life’s most stressful experiences—but it doesn’t have to be.
With the right support and guidance, it can actually be a smooth, even empowering process.
We’ll help you every step of the way.
Below is our step-by-step guide to get your home ready for market and set you up for a successful sale.
We’ll tailor a strategy that fits your budget, timeline, and goals—whether it's a quick refresh, a complete renovation, or something in between, every step is designed to help you maximize your return.
And the best part? We have all the vendors and resources you need to make it happen.
Pricing your home right is one of the most important steps in the selling process—and it’s something we’ll decide together.
Starting with a fair, strategic price helps generate strong interest from both buyers and agents, giving your home the best chance to stand out. Price too high, and you risk turning people away; too low, and you might leave money on the table.
With my market insight and experience, we’ll review comparable sales and current trends to find the right balance—so your home gets the attention it deserves, and you feel confident every step of the way.
Most buyers will only see your home once before making a decision, which makes every showing count. That’s why we handle all showings personally—no lockboxes, ever.
We believe a home is more than its square footage—it’s about the lifestyle it offers. A balcony isn’t just outdoor space; it’s a place for morning coffee or tending a small herb garden.
We’ll help showcase those unique, irresistible details—like golden-hour light through your favorite window, the scent of a nearby bakery, or the charm of friendly neighbors. To set the mood, we add thoughtful touches: soft candlelight, fresh flowers, subtle music, even warm cookies—creating a welcoming, elevated atmosphere buyers won’t forget.
We’re here to showcase your home in the best possible light—and your insight is essential.
Tell us what makes your home truly special—not just the features, but the moments and lifestyle it offers. Maybe it’s the nearby top-rated schools, your favorite brunch spot, the welcoming community, or scenic trails perfect for weekend adventures. We want to highlight everything that makes your home stand out and tell its story in a way that resonates with buyers.
Once we’ve gathered those details, we’ll craft a compelling listing designed to capture attention. You’ll review the draft, share your feedback, and we’ll fine-tune it until it feels just right.
Most buyers discover homes through online searches, open houses, or their agents—but we go further. We leverage social media, local marketing, and our agent network to maximize exposure. More eyes mean more interest, and more interest often leads to stronger offers.
And yes—the humble ‘For Sale’ sign still works. It may seem old-school, but it catches the attention of curious passersby who could be your next buyer. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Thinking of selling?
When reviewing offers, it’s not just about the price—it's about the full picture. Here are five key things we’ll evaluate together:
Financial strength: We’ll review the buyer’s down payment, earnest money, and mortgage pre-approval. Cash offers or larger down payments often signal greater reliability.
Contingencies: Fewer contingencies—like inspection waivers or no need to sell another home—can lead to a smoother, faster closing.
Timeline: We’ll ensure the proposed closing date works for your needs, whether you’re in a hurry or need extra time.
Concessions: We'll flag any repair requests or requests for closing cost assistance, which can impact your net proceeds.
Side-by-side comparison: You’ll receive a detailed spreadsheet that lays out each offer clearly, so you can compare terms and make an informed choice.
Sometimes the best offer isn’t the highest—it’s the one with the best terms for your situation. We’ll help you focus on what matters most so you feel confident in your decision.
Being “under contract” means you’ve accepted a buyer’s offer—a major milestone, but not the finish line just yet.
At this stage, certain conditions—called contingencies—still need to be met, such as the home inspection, appraisal, or the buyer securing financing. If any of these fall through, the deal could be canceled, and your home may return to the market.
During this period, your home is essentially reserved for the buyer while both parties work to meet the terms of the agreement. In some cases, sellers can accept backup offers as a precaution.
Once all contingencies are satisfied, the sale moves to "pending" status—bringing you one step closer to closing. It’s a critical phase that requires patience, clear communication, and close attention to detail.
The closing process is the final step in selling your home—where all the details come together and the sale becomes official.
Once all contingencies (like inspections and the appraisal) are cleared, and both parties are ready, we’ll work with the escrow company to finalize everything. A few days before closing, we’ll confirm that all documents are prepared, funds are ready to transfer, and any agreed-upon repairs are complete.
Before closing day, you'll meet with the escrow officer to sign the final paperwork—this includes transferring ownership and confirming the financials. If you're out of town, a traveling notary can handle it.
On closing day, the escrow company coordinates with the title company to officially record the sale with the county. Once that’s done, the home is legally sold—and I’ll hand over the keys (and maybe a garage remote or two!) on your behalf. Time to celebrate!
It’s also a good time to wrap up loose ends like canceling utilities, forwarding mail, and leaving behind instructions for appliances or home systems. While the process may feel formal, it’s really about making sure everything is in order so you can move on to your next chapter with confidence.
From our first meeting to the moment I hand over the keys to the buyer, the process can take weeks or even months—it all depends on your timeline. What matters most is building trust. I’m here to advocate for you, navigate the ups and downs, and deliver the best possible outcome.
To do that, I want to understand what works best for you. Let me know your communication style—calls, emails, texts, or WhatsApp—and the times that suit you best. Tell me what you’re excited about, and don’t hesitate to share any concerns. The more open you are, the better I can tailor the experience to your goals and support you every step of the way.
