Step 1: Preparing Your Home for Sale
The first impression is critical when selling your home. To get the best price, it’s important to present your property in its best light.

When offers start coming in, I’ll be there to guide you through the process.
- Reviewing Offers: I’ll help you evaluate each offer, discussing the terms and potential contingencies to determine which one aligns best with your goals.
- Negotiation Expertise: With my experience, I’m adept at negotiating not only the sale price but also terms that are favorable for you, such as closing timelines, repairs, and contingencies. I’ll advocate for your best interests every step of the way.
- Architectural Insights: If buyers request changes or renovations, I can provide insights on what’s feasible and the potential return on investment, allowing you to make informed decisions during negotiations.
Step 4: Closing the Sale
Once you’ve accepted an offer, I’ll ensure a seamless closing process.
- Paperwork Management: I’ll guide you through the necessary paperwork, ensuring everything is in order for a smooth transaction.

- Final Walkthrough: I’ll assist with the final walkthrough, ensuring that the property is in the agreed-upon condition and addressing any last-minute issues.
Step 5: Moving On
After closing, it’s time to prepare for your next chapter.
