I think it's time to sell our house.
Should we do an open house?
Should we paint the house?
Should I take down all the family photos?
What if someone buys it the first day and we have to leave in 30 days?
Where can I keep my pets during showings?
And what do I do with all that pet hair?
Show ready? I have 3 kids. This IS ready...
What do you mean people want to look at houses at 8 PM?
Didn't we just replace the roof...
that was 20 years ago!?
I haven't been in the crawl space since the 1900s.
What's a radon inspection?
R22, 410A... there is a new one now?
They didn't MAKE joist hangers when this deck was built.
My nosy neighbors are going to want to see it, aren't they?
They can have the pool table.
In fact, they have to keep the pool table.
What if it NEVER sells?
Will they take their shoes off?
What happens if a showing breaks something?
I KNEW those glow-in-the-dark stars on the kids' bedroom ceiling would be a bad idea.
I didn't even know our house had an irrigation system.
What's a backflow?
These drapes cost a lot of money,
and you want me to take them down?
What do you mean, sight unseen?!
This isn't what Chip and Joanna made it sound like at all...
These 3M strips promised NO drywall damage.

Let's Start With a Plan.

Before you spend money, make repairs, or start getting your home ready, let's figure out what's best for you.

Selling Is Different.

House hunting can be exciting. You're looking at different homes, thinking about what you want, imagining how you'll use the space, and picturing what comes next. Even when the process gets stressful, buying a home usually comes with a sense of possibility and a fresh start.

Selling your home is a different mountain to climb.

Instead of looking at a dozen homes and imagining the future, you're looking at one — yours — and suddenly noticing that it may be time to do all those things you've been meaning to do for the last five, ten, or twenty years.

The room you were going to paint. The closet you were going to clean out. The repair you were definitely going to tackle next weekend. The stuff you've accumulated that somehow never seemed like that much stuff until now.

And before long, getting the house ready to sell can start to feel like one enormous to-do list.

That's where I come in.

My job as your listing agent isn't simply to show you comparable sales, recommend a price, prepare your home for the MLS, and point out everything the other homes had that yours doesn't. It's to help you figure out what actually needs to be done in the first place.

Some things may matter. Some things may not. Some things may be worth spending money on, while others aren't going to put a dollar back in your pocket. And some of the things you're worried about may have much simpler solutions than you think.

I've spent years working with homes from both the sales and property-management sides of this business. Along the way, I've learned how to solve a lot of the little problems that can make preparing a home for sale feel overwhelming.

You don't need to do everything. And you certainly don't have to do it all alone.

That's where we start: with a plan.
