Home Sellers
For Sellers
Thinking About Selling? Start With the Numbers — Then Build the Strategy.
Selling a home involves much more than choosing a list price. Valerie will help you evaluate comparable sales, current competition, property condition and market activity to develop a pricing and marketing strategy for your home.
Determining value is important, but it’s only the beginning.
A successful sale requires the right preparation, pricing, presentation, exposure, negotiation and transaction management.
I’ll help develop a strategy around your property and your goals, including:
- Reviewing your property and current market conditions
- Analyzing recent comparable sales and active competition
- Developing a pricing and positioning strategy
- Identifying preparation or improvements that may help the sale
- Preparing the property for the market
- Creating compelling MLS and online marketing
- Positioning the property for maximum buyer exposure
- Managing showings and buyer feedback
- Evaluating offers beyond just the purchase price
- Negotiating price, terms, and contingencies
- Navigating inspections and repair requests
- Managing appraisal issues if they arise
- Monitoring contract deadlines
- Coordinating with the title company and other parties
- Keeping you informed throughout the transaction
- Managing the process through closing
An automated home value may be a useful starting point, but it cannot see your property’s condition, improvements, lot, view, location within the neighborhood or how it compares with what buyers are choosing right now. That requires a closer look.
Talk With Valerie About SellingPreparing Your Home
Getting your home market-ready
A little preparation can help your home make a stronger first impression when it reaches the market. Here’s the general process I use to help sellers prepare their home for the market.
Declutter & Depersonalize
Clear counters, closets, and personal photos so buyers can picture themselves in the space.
Minor Repairs & Touch-Ups
Small fixes, leaky faucets, scuffed walls, burnt-out bulbs, that buyers notice more than sellers expect.
Professional Photos
I coordinate professional photography and, when appropriate, video before the listing goes live.
Staging Consultation
Guidance on furniture placement and what to store, using what you already own wherever possible.
Final Walkthrough Prep
A last pass together before photos and showings begin, so the home shows at its best from day one.
Marketing Plan
Getting your listing in front of the right buyers
Your property deserves more than simply being entered into the MLS. Depending on the home and target buyer, I’ll develop a marketing strategy that may include professional photography, MLS exposure, major real estate websites, social media, open houses and direct outreach to buyers and agents.
Pricing Strategy
Priced right from the start
Pricing isn't about choosing the highest number - it's about positioning your home against the properties buyers are comparing it with. I'll analyze recent sales, active competition, your home's condition, location and unique features to help determine a pricing strategy designed to attract serious buyers.
Negotiation
Protecting your bottom line at the table
An offer is more than a purchase price. I'll help you evaluate financing, deposits, contingencies, inspection terms, closing dates and other conditions that can affect both your proceeds and the likelihood of closing. I'll negotiate on your behalf from the initial offer through inspections, appraisal and closing.
