Seller's Guide

Guide to Selling Your Home

Your home may be your single biggest investment; selling it is one of the largest financial transactions you’ll ever make. So when you sell, you want to get the best price and the most favorable terms in the shortest amount of time. There are many decisions to make and strategies to consider in order to maximize your return with a successful sale. I will guide you through these before we list your home; then I’ll manage every aspect of the transaction, from the
first open house to the final closing.

Selling your home

AS YOUR LISTING BROKER: 

  • I’ll communicate what buyers are looking for and the
    conditions that will encourage them to buy.
  • I’ll analyze the market and help you set the right price.
  • I’ll provide detailed information about your home to
    the thousands of Northwest Multiple Listing Service
    member agents actively assisting buyers.
  • I’ll also target a more specific cohort of agents
    representing the most likely buyers for your home.
  • I’ll capture buyers’ attention and captivate imaginations
    through elegant visuals and thoughtful storytelling, in
    both digital and print media.
  • I’ll make sure your home is visible to the large number
    of people who relocate to our region from across the
    country and around the world.
  • I’ll quickly separate the qualified buyers from the rest
    of the pack, saving you time and potential heartache.
