The Selling Process.

  • Get It Ready.

    Time to declutter, clean, and complete any repairs. We’ll work together to determine what needs to be done prior to listing your house.

  • Let's Talk Strategy.

    We will go through market statistics to set realistic timelines for your sale. Together, we will review comparable sales to determine an appropriate listing price and marketing strategy for the current market.

  • Staging & Snapshots.

    It’s time for finishing touches! If we’ve determined staging the property is best, we’ll do that 1-2 days before our photographers come in. We’ll make sure to give buyers the best first impression of your house.

  • List It & Show It.

    Now that we’re on the market, it’s time for showings to begin! This is often the hardest part as your house has to remain in tip-top shape inside and out.

  • Make a Deal.

    We will review all offers together and determine the best course of action. I will negotiate on your behalf until we come to an agreement.

  • Closing Day.

    Get packing, hand over the keys, and move on to your new adventure!

Buy or Sell First?

Every situation is unique, so there are a few factors to examine before advising which may be best for you. For example: What are the current market conditions? Are you financially capable of carrying two properties without feeling stressed? If we’re in a seller’s market, you might want to find a new home first, but if we’re in a buyer’s market it’s probably best to sell your property prior to buying. Let’s take a look at the advantages of both.

Buy First When…

  • There is a lot of competition in the market and property prices are rising

  • You’re confident there will be a high level of demand for your existing property

  • You can negotiate or make it conditional on selling your own home

  • You’re looking for something very specific, which may be more challenging to find on a tight timeline

Sell First When…

  • Property prices are flat or declining

  • You want greater certainty about how much you are able to spend on your next home

  • You’re moving locations and buying in a different and slower market

  • You can negotiate a long closing or know that you’ll be able to find something that suits your requirements
