Home / Selling your home
Selling your home
Your home is more than where you live. It's one of your biggest assets. We plan, market and negotiate its sale with one goal: the best possible return for you.
Plan first
Strategy beats emotion
For many people a home is part family heirloom, part old friend. When it's time to sell, it pays to set the feelings aside and approach the sale with a plan.
That plan should be built by a professional who isn't emotionally tied to the house, but is motivated by the best price and terms for you. Someone who will show every buyer why they should want your home.
Saving money isn't the same as making money
Some sellers start by asking for the cheapest way to sell. Cutting costs on the sale of your largest asset is how people step over dollars to pick up dimes. Treat your home like it's on sale and you'll get exactly what you bargained for. Treat it like it's for sale, properly marketed, and you'll get its value.
What you get
How we sell your home
Pricing with a reason
A price based on the market, the property and your goals, explained so you can decide with confidence.
Marketing that reaches buyers
Good photography, the MLS and online listings, and outreach to the buyers looking for a place like yours.
Negotiating that sticks
Offers, counter-offers, inspection repairs and closing dates, handled firmly and kept on schedule.
Hiring an agent?
Six things to look for
Reading our website is a bit like interviewing us. Here's what we think matters, and what we bring.
1. Integrity
Honesty and principles that hold up over a whole transaction. Our clients' reviews say it better than we can.
2. Attitude
A positive, steady disposition. More deals are lost to bad first impressions than to anything else.
3. Work ethic
Very little replaces hard work. We roll up our sleeves.
4. Knowledge
Education plus years of real-world experience in this market.
5. Sales skill
Skill only comes with practice. We've been in sales for about forty years.
6. Asking for the sale
It sounds obvious, yet it's the step most often skipped. It's what we do best.
“We didn't want a realtor. He showed our house to a couple he sensed were looking for our log house. They came, we clicked… he ran himself ragged, negotiated them to everyone's satisfaction, speeded right along and became a friend in the process!”
