Our first meeting is where we get down to brass tacks. This is where we can begin to discuss how your hopes for a sale mesh with realities of the market, activity in your town and your neighborhood, and the overall presentation of your home. Here is some of what we’ll cover:

• First impressions are critical. I’ll start out doing a "prospective buyer walkthrough". This is always the first thing I do (after saying hello, of course!) because I want to get a sense of your home the way a buyer would: the absolute first impression. That’s how buyer’s make decisions. We will always try to educate them about the benefits of your home, but it is crucial that your home engages them when they first walk through that door.
• Information is power! I will come to our meeting fully prepared to talk about the recent sales history in your area and sales conditions in your neighborhood. It is important to remember that buyers have access to more information than ever before so it is likely that they will know a great deal about sale prices and will judge your home’s value in that context. We need to anticipate their point-of-view, enhance your home’s obvious value wherever possible, and price accordingly.
• Timing is everything. We will discuss exactly when you anticipate selling your home. Market conditions are highly dynamic so it is critical to gather the most relevant market information, which means the most up to date! We can also discuss natural market cycles and whether there might be a strategic advantage to bringing your home online right away or waiting a bit.
• Pricing is alchemy. There is a lot of science behind correctly pricing a home for sale, but it is just as much an artform. When you work with me, you gain the benefit of over a decade of buying and selling homes for clients in this area. There are few who can price a home as well as I can – just ask my clients!
• You must be ready. Once you say "go", my team and I will work with intelligence, focus and tenacity to get you the price you deserve. But we can’t do it alone: you are the most important part of the team! After reviewing everything, I’ll ask you if you’re ready to sell your home. I need you on board and want to make sure that you are ready to take your next step forward.

This is where the fun begins. My marketing team will get to work staging your home (everything from cleaning to arranging furniture to suggesting potential improvements to achieve maximum ROI). Here’s how it breaks down:

My keys to success are: clear client communication, a well-developed network of potential buyers, and over a decade of experience in closing deals. I know how to bring buyers to the table and how to negotiate a fair deal that will allow everyone to walk away satisfied. It’s not as easy as you would think. Buying or selling a home can be a highly emotional process. When you work with me and my team, we’ll help keep everyone focused on the most important thing: closing the deal. The buyers want to be in their new home and you want to move forward the sale. I can help you get there. Here are some of the ways I work with you during to bring your sale home:

Communicating with You

Coordinating the Sale
