Selling

We start by walking through your home and talking about your goals, your timeline, and where you're headed next. We'll explain how we work, what we'll do to market your home, and answer any questions before you sign a listing agreement.

We prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales, active competition, and current market conditions. Pricing well from day one is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we'll walk you through the numbers so you can decide with confidence.

We'll tell you honestly what's worth doing before you list and what isn't. Often it's simple things like decluttering, fresh paint, small repairs, and good lighting that make the biggest difference, not a major remodel.

Washington sellers complete a disclosure statement about the home's condition for buyers to review. We'll walk you through the form so you know what's being asked and can answer it completely.

Your home goes live on the Northwest MLS with photos and a description that show it at its best, and from there it reaches the major home search sites. We'll walk you through our marketing plan for your specific home before launch day.

We coordinate showings and open houses around your schedule and share buyer and broker feedback with you along the way, so you always know how the market is responding.

When offers come in, we'll review each one with you, including price, terms, financing, contingencies, and timing. The highest price isn't always the strongest offer, and we'll help you see the full picture before you respond.

Most buyers will have the home inspected, and many will need an appraisal for their lender. If the buyer asks for repairs or a price change, we'll help you weigh your options and negotiate a fair outcome.

We stay in close contact with escrow, the buyer's broker, and the lender to keep everything on track. You'll sign your closing documents with escrow before closing day, and we'll help you plan your move and utility transfers.

In Washington, the sale closes when the deed records with the county. Your proceeds are released through escrow, and the keys go to the buyer when possession transfers under your contract.
