If you’re thinking about selling your home in the next 6, 12, or even 24 months, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you're preparing to list your home now or planning ahead, understanding the process can make selling much smoother.

1. Communication: The Key to Success

The first and most critical step is consistent communication. Our team ensures that you’re in the loop at all times with a regular, clear communication cadence.

• Weekly updates: You’ll receive a detailed email report about the number of showings, feedback, and any suggested improvements.

• Marketing reports: We track impressions across various platforms, including our custom website, YouTube videos, and social media, so you know exactly how many people are seeing your home.

Pro Tip: This communication keeps you informed and reassured, helping you understand the market activity around your listing.

2. Hitting the Ground Running

We waste no time getting everything in place to ensure a smooth process.

• Scheduling: We’ll schedule any necessary maintenance, cleaning, window washing, staging, photography, and videography before your home goes live.

• Lockboxes & Access: We set up lockboxes to allow easy access for buyers’ agents.

• Home Essentials: Our team ensures essentials like carbon monoxide detectors and water heaters are in proper working order.

This preparation ensures that your home is show-ready from day one.

3. Aesthetic Appeal: Curb Appeal & Interior Staging

The visual impression of your home is key to attracting buyers.

• Deep cleaning: Professional cleaning of carpets, windows, and every corner.

• Yard TLC: We take care of any landscaping or curb appeal upgrades.

• Professional staging: Whether it’s a few finishing touches or fully furnishing a vacant space, we work with professional designers to make your home look its best.

Once everything is perfect, we capture stunning photos, videos, and 3D virtual tours.

4. Showing Your Property

When it comes time to show your home, our goal is to make buyers feel welcome.

• Open houses: We create eye-catching flyers and just listed postcards and even go door-to-door to invite your neighbors.

• Creating a welcoming vibe: We ensure your home is presented in a way that resonates with potential buyers and feels as inviting as it looked online.

5. Marketing Your Listing

We don’t just rely on open houses to market your property. Our team creates a comprehensive marketing plan:

• Social media posts: Weekly updates about your home on various platforms.

• Targeted ads: We run Facebook and Google ads to ensure your home reaches the right buyers.

• YouTube videos: We showcase your home in professionally produced video content.

• Tracking success: Using Facebook Pixels and Google Analytics, we track the performance of our campaigns and provide you with weekly marketing reports.
