The selling path, in order

Set a preparation and listing schedule around your property, budget, and move.

  1. 1

    Walkthrough and pricing

    We walk the home together and build the price from your block's actual comparables — view lines, condition, and district status included, not averaged away.

  2. 2

    Prioritized preparation

    Compare repair and presentation options against your budget. Agree on priorities before spending; no improvement guarantees a return.

  3. 3

    Launch week

    Prepare photography, property details, and a marketing schedule. Review buyer feedback and activity as the listing progresses.

  4. 4

    Negotiate to close

    Offers compared on their full terms, inspection negotiations handled calmly, and escrow tracked to a closing date you can plan a move around.

Know your numbers before you list

Understand the costs and decisions to discuss before listing your home.

Seller questions, answered directly

I might sell next year — when should I talk to a broker?

An early conversation gives you time to compare recent sales, collect property records, and decide which preparation tasks fit your budget. The right listing date depends on your home and circumstances; starting earlier does not guarantee higher proceeds.

Start with the number.

A walked-through valuation is free, specific to your home, and useful even if you don't sell this year — it turns the whole decision into arithmetic.
