No Time to Waste! Let’s Get ‘Er Sold!
WHY DO YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR HOUSE?
People have many reasons to want to sell their home. Empty nesters looking to downsize, a growing family needing more space, tired of renting, no matter the reason, I can help you get from point A to point B.
HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN?
Selling your home can seem daunting, especially if you’ve lived there for quite some time. Once you decide to sell your home there are some steps you should take to prepare you and it for the sale. I always tell my clients, we need to begin by letting go. This is no longer your home.
“CAN YOU SELL MY HOUSE?”
Yes, and I will die trying. I’ll be honest and you’ll hate me at times, but you’ll thank me later. I’ll get you the best price for your house and we will go over why. I have expertise in marketing, so know your house will be pretty enough. Ready to let go?
HERE WE GO
Take a deep breath. You will now exhale. You are about to start a new chapter, but in order to do that we need to finish the last. The very first thing we are going to do is a walk through of your home. This is the part where you’ll hate me. Being brutally honest is going to be your cod liver oil, it’s going to taste real nasty upon receiving, but it is going to do good for you in the long run.

PURGE. DECLUTTER. ORGANIZE.
We can all agree that moving sucks. Purging will help so much when it is time to vacate the premises. When you decide you are going to sell your house, it’s time to get down and dirty and start getting those Marie Kondo piles. Give yourself a good deadline for when you’ll be selling and then get to it!
What do you mean I have to fix things!
When we do the initial walk-through, we are going to go over things to fix cosmetically and defectively. I’ll tell you what inspectors look for and what can cause problems when the inspection comes back. You’re more than likely going to have to fix it anyway so let’s get ahead of the game. MOLD and ROOFS are the biggest ones. We’ll go over repairing everything from a loose toilet to paint to a defective dishwasher.
Make it pretty
We want your house to be the prettiest one at the dance. I have a marketing plan for the sale of your house. I work extensively with you to get your house to showing time. Here are some things I’ll do when you hire me to list your home.
