Maximize Your Sale Price

01

Don't Overprice

Biggest mistake sellers make. Overpriced homes sit, accumulate days on market, and sell for less than they would have at the right price from day one. Trust the data, not your feelings.

02

First 7 Seconds

Curb appeal, front door, entryway — buyers decide instantly. Fresh paint on the front door, trimmed hedges, and a clean porch cost under $500 and add thousands.

03

Declutter Ruthlessly

Pack up 50% of your stuff before listing. Buyers need to see themselves in the space, not your family photos. Less furniture = bigger rooms. Storage units are cheap insurance.

04

Fix the Small Stuff

Dripping faucets, cracked outlets, sticky doors — buyers notice all of it. Every small defect whispers 'deferred maintenance.' A $200 handyman visit prevents $10K in concessions.

05

Stage to Sell

Staged homes sell 73% faster and for 6–10% more on average. We include a staging consultation with every listing. Vacant homes get full staging.

06

Be Available

The buyer who can only see your home at 6pm on Tuesday might write the highest offer. Every declined showing is a potentially lost buyer. We handle all scheduling.
