The selling process
A strategic path to sold.
- 01
Plan your sale
We talk through your goals, timing, and what you need to net. If you're buying next, we plan how both moves fit together.
My role: Map out the numbers and timeline, including your estimated net proceeds.
- 02
Prepare with purpose
We walk through your home together and decide what to repair, refresh, declutter, or leave as is.
My role: Prioritize the updates buyers notice, and skip the ones that won't pay off.
- 03
Price strategically
I prepare a detailed market analysis using recent sales, active competition, and your home's condition and location.
My role: Explain the reasoning behind the number, and the risk of pricing too high or too low.
- 04
Market and show
Your home launches with professional photography, Windermere's reach, showings, and open houses.
My role: Present your home at its best and share buyer feedback regularly.
- 05
Negotiate and close
We compare offers, negotiate terms, and navigate the buyer's inspection, escrow, and closing.
My role: Compare offers on strength and certainty, not just price, and keep the deal on track to closing.
Common questions
Seller questions, answered.
When is the best time to sell?
Spring is often busy in Seattle, but the right time depends on your goals, your next move, and current inventory. We’ll look at the data together.
Should I renovate before listing?
Usually not a major renovation. Focused updates — paint, repairs, and presentation — tend to offer the best return. I’ll help you prioritize.
What will I need to disclose?
Washington requires most residential sellers to complete a seller disclosure statement. I’ll guide you through it so you can complete it accurately.
Is a pre-listing inspection worth it?
It can be, especially for older homes. It helps you address issues early and price with confidence. We’ll decide together based on your home.
