What to expect when selling your home.

Thanks for trusting me with the sale of your home! I have been in the real estate field my entire life. My parents were brokers in Florida, and my grandfather was a real estate attorney. It’s in the blood. I love working with sellers throughout the home selling process to ensure you understand what is happening every step of the way. I want you to feel “at home” every step of the way.I’m always available to answer any questions you have. I am here to help guide, educate, and consult my clients.

  • Depersonalize Your Space: Clear out personal items to present your home as a blank canvas, inviting buyers to imagine their own belongings in the space.

    Maintain Cleanliness: Keep all areas tidy and clean, ready for viewings at any moment to make a lasting impression.

    Opt for Neutral Paint: Choose neutral paint colors to avoid deterring potential buyers, as specific tastes in color can vary widely.

    Plan for Pets: Arrange a comfortable solution for your pets during home showings to ensure a smooth experience for visitors.

    Smart Repairs for ROI: Focus on repairs or updates that are most likely to increase your home's value and attract serious offers.

  • Properties that are priced correctly from day one generally sell for more at the end of the transaction. Your property is “hot” when it is first listed, so it is important to attract the most buyers in the beginning. The photos of your home are extremely important in showcasing your home to potential buyers. I work with excellent real estate photographers to ensure the best photos are on the MLS and marketing material. Your home will be marketed on the MLS as well as many other websites and social media platforms.

    MARKETING PLAN INCLUDES

    MLS and Syndicated Sites: Ensuring wide visibility among homebuyers searching online.

    Social Media: Leveraging platforms to reach a diverse audience and engage potential buyers.

    Company and Personal Websites: Showcasing your property on both company and personal professional websites for comprehensive coverage.

    Facebook Marketplace: Utilizing this popular platform to tap into local and broader markets.

    Neighborhood Postcards: Sending out eye-catching postcards to the local community to generate buzz and interest.

  • When your home goes “live” on the MLS, we will get showing requests. As the showings begin, we will get feedback from potential buyers. We will work together to consider whether or not the feedback will result in a change of price, repairs, etc… The ultimate goal is a quick process.
