From listed to sold, on your terms
Selling a home is part financial decision, part logistics project and part emotional milestone. You deserve clear information and real choices. I'll listen first, then share a data-backed plan shaped around your home, your timing and your goals.
Three ways to sell your home
There is more than one way to sell a house, and you should choose with clear eyes.
Represent yourself
You set the price, create the marketing, handle showings and negotiate directly. Best for sellers with a buyer in hand, time to spare and real estate experience.
Pay to be on the MLS
A company enters your home on the MLS for a set fee; you typically handle showings, negotiation and the transaction. Best for hands-on sellers who mainly want exposure.
A curated experience
A service plan designed around your home, with every showing, offer, negotiation and deadline handled. Best for sellers who want expert guidance and the strongest net result.

What selling with me feels like
Every home has its own timeline, but most listings follow this rhythm. A financed sale typically closes about 30–45 days after we accept an offer.
- Day 1
Consultation
We walk your home, review the market analysis, and choose a service plan and pricing strategy.
- Days 2–14
Preparation
Repairs, touch-ups, decluttering and staging. I coordinate vendors so nothing slips.
- Photo day
Media capture
Professional photography, drone aerials, video and a 3D tour in the best light.
- Launch
Go live
Your home hits the MLS and every major site; ads, emails and signage go out the same day.
- First 2–3 weeks
Peak attention
Showings, open house and agent outreach, with regular feedback and activity reports.
- Offer
Negotiate
We compare price, terms, dates and contingencies, then negotiate the strongest package.
- Under contract
Due diligence
Inspections, CL-100, repairs, appraisal and loan milestones. I track every deadline.
- Closing day
Keys & celebration
You sign with the closing attorney, in person or by mail-away, and the keys change hands.
