Seller's Guide

Why are you selling your home and what do you hope to achieve? Whether you're pursuing a dream upgrade, relocating for a new opportunity, or simply ready for a change, being clear on your goals is the first step. Your timeline and priorities will shape everything from pricing to marketing. If speed is essential, a competitive offer price can accelerate the sale. If maximizing profit is the focus, a strategic top-of-market retail listing price can boost your bottom line. Whatever your vision, share it with Jeff and he’ll tailor a business plan and strategy to make it happen.

Once your home is priced, it's time to prepare it for the photographer and videographer. This involves decluttering, depersonalizing, and often staging or painting to enhance visual appeal. Ensure all light bulbs match in color temperature.  Jeff’s pro tip: avoid compact fluorescent bulbs, as they produce poor photo and video quality. Don’t forget to make minor repairs, clean the windows inside and out, and give the entire home a deep clean so it presents at its absolute best. If you prefer, Jeff has a team of painters, gardeners and stagers ready to assist.

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it’s not the end of the journey. With over 25 years of experience successfully negotiating on behalf of my clients, Jeff carefully evaluates each offer to ensure the buyer has been thoroughly vetted and the terms are in your best interest. He’ll assess every situation strategically and negotiate from a position of strength to achieve the most favorable outcome for you. Jeff will be your eyes and ears throughout the entire process, focused on protecting your goals and maximizing your results.

It’s great news when you’ve accepted an offer, and you’re almost at the finish line! Before you can officially close, there are a few final steps to take care of. You and Jeff will put together a list of what needs to be done, which might include things like an inspection, appraisal, or some repairs. Don’t worry, Jeff will  handle coordinating everything, making sure each task is completed by the right party and staying on top of the timeline. A few days before closing, he’ll check in with the closing company to confirm we’re all set. And if you haven’t already, it’s a good time to start planning your move so the buyer can take over without a hitch.
