Selling
Sell with a builder’s eye and a stager’s touch
Pricing based on real sales, preparation that pays back, and marketing that brings serious buyers. I handle every step so you can focus on your next move.
My selling process
Four clear stages, from the first walk-through to handing over the keys.
- Walk-through and pricing
A room-by-room look with a builder’s eye and a pricing plan based on recent sales in your neighborhood. - Preparation and staging
Small repairs and professional staging that pay back at the closing table. No unnecessary renovations. - Launch
Professional photography, video and a marketing push across MLS and social media. - Offers to closing
Negotiation, inspections and every deadline handled until you hand over the keys.
Why it matters
Right price from day one
Homes priced correctly from the start attract more buyers and stronger offers than homes that need price cuts later.
Repairs that pay back
Having built and renovated homes myself, I can tell which fixes buyers will pay for and which ones to skip.
Staged to sell
As an Accredited Staging Professional, I help your home photograph well and feel right the moment buyers walk in.
Common questions
When is the best time to sell?
Spring is usually the busiest season in the DC area, but the right time depends on your plans and local inventory. I’ll show you what is selling in your neighborhood right now.
Should I renovate before selling?
Usually not a full renovation. Targeted repairs, fresh paint and good staging often bring a better return. I’ll give you a clear list of what is worth doing.
How do you price my home?
I look at recent comparable sales, current competition and your home’s condition and upgrades, then recommend a price strategy you understand.
Can I sell and buy at the same time?
Yes. We plan the timing together so you are not stuck between homes, and I can represent you on both sides of the move.
