Consultation & Goals
We start with your reasons for selling, your timeline, and the net proceeds you're working toward — then build the plan around them.

02The process
Six steps from first conversation to closing table.
01
02
Pricing & Market Analysis
A data-driven comparative market analysis (CMA) establishes a strategic list price that attracts buyers without leaving money on the table.
03
Prepare & Stage
We identify the repairs, refreshes, and staging that move the needle — and back it with our handyman, cleaning, and contractor network so your home shows its best.
04
Market & Launch
Your home goes live on the MLS with a full marketing push — professional photography, social media, agent email blasts, and just-listed postcards — to maximize qualified interest.
05
Offers & Negotiation
We review every offer's price and terms together, counter strategically, and protect your position through to a signed contract.
06
Closing & Funding
Inspection resolution, appraisal, title, and closing — coordinated and tracked, ending with funds wired and the deal done.
03Pricing
Price it right, and the market responds.
Pricing is the single biggest lever in your sale. We ground your list price in a data-driven comparative market analysis — not a hunch — then position it to generate the strongest early demand. We map the work into five clear stages.
01
Comparative Market Analysis
We study recent comparable sales, active competition, and absorption to ground your price in real market data — not a guess.
02
Strategic List Price Contract §11
We set a price and terms that are acceptable to you and positioned to generate the strongest early buyer response.
03
Go Live & Generate Demand Contract §9
Submission to the MLS and the full marketing launch put your home in front of the largest qualified audience.
04
Review & Adjust Contract §3.7
We track showings and feedback against the market and, within your listing period, adjust strategy if the data calls for it.
05
Under Contract to Close Contract §12, §14
Earnest money is deposited, title work begins, and we navigate the file through every deadline to a clean closing.
04Your terms
A listing built around you — not a template.
Price is just one part of a strong listing. Just as important are the terms — and these are the levers we can adjust to fit your timeline and goals. We'll walk through each one together and shape an engagement that's comfortable for you and clear in the market.
List Price & Terms
§11The price and the terms you'll accept are set by you. We position both to attract buyers while protecting your bottom line.
Compensation
§7Brokerage compensation is fully negotiable and set by agreement — including whether and how much to offer a buyer's brokerage.
Earnest Money & Deposits
§12We guide how much earnest money signals a serious buyer and how those deposits are handled in your transaction.
Inclusions & Exclusions
§13Fixtures, appliances, and personal property that convey with the home are spelled out — we tailor exactly what stays and what goes.
Possession
§17When you hand over possession is negotiable — at closing, or with a post-closing occupancy arrangement that fits your move.
Listing Period
§3.7The length of the listing engagement, and any extensions, are agreed up front so expectations are clear on both sides.
05Marketing & services
We don't just list it — we market it.
Maximum exposure is what drives the best price. Every listing gets a full marketing launch, and we handle the prep work so your home is ready to shine.
