Preparing for your house sale
Selling a home is an emotional decision, but it's also one that needs to be made with your head. Making small strategic decisions can result in you getting more money for the sale and if done right, you could even end up making back more than was spent on repairs!
Many fixes cost little and can dramatically enhance market response and value. From basic cleaning to staging a home to increase its appeal, anything that appears likely to bring a return on the investment is worth your consideration.
How your home looks when it's on the market determines its desirability and value in the hearts and minds of home buyers; and typically, a seller only has one chance to make the most of it.
As your agents, we’ll manage the entire process so you don’t have to. Have questions? Call us at (206) 755-2137 or book a time on our website for a no-obligation consultation.
Home seller frequently asked questions & tips
-
To set the best pricing I will:
- Prepare a comparative marketing analysis (CMA)
- Review market conditions
- Review other homes on the market
- Discuss your home sale goals
- Determine the optimal listing price
-
The most crucial element of selling a house is correctly setting the initial asking price. If a house is priced close to its fair market value, the property usually sells quickly and for top dollar. On the other hand, if a seller grossly overprices a property, it typically tends to linger on the market and reduces the eventual sale price to less than it would have been with more realistic pricing.

A home is usually one of my clients’ biggest financial assets. Its sale is typically one of the largest, most complicated, and most emotional financial transactions of their lives. I take that responsibility very seriously.
As your agent, I have a fiduciary responsibility to protect your interests to the best of my ability.
My fiduciary obligation is to put your interests above all others:
To achieve the best achievable sales price and terms within the timeframe you outline.
To make the process as easy and straightforward as possible, with a minimum of time, effort, and stress on your part.
To protect you, as best I can, from any and all future liability.
I don’t get paid until the sale of your home closes for a price you deem acceptable.
