Selling
How a home is presented changes what it earns.
Two houses on the same street, the same size, the same year built, do not sell for the same number. A lot of that gap is decided before the photographer arrives.
What makes this different
Kellie’s eye is part of the service, not a side note.
Kellie has always loved interior design, and ten years of living in other countries gave her a lot of rooms to learn from. She will walk your house with you before it lists and tell you what to change, what to leave, and what is not worth spending money on.
Sometimes that is paint and a rearranged living room. Sometimes it is taking half the furniture out. It is rarely a renovation, and we will say so when a project will not earn its cost back.
What it looks like
The order things actually happen in.
-
We walk the house
Room by room, with you, before anything is decided. This is where most of the value gets added and it costs nothing.
-
Price it against the street
Not against a citywide median. Pricing moves pocket by pocket here, so we pull the comparable sales that actually share your street and your school boundary.
-
Prepare and present
Paint, declutter, rearrange, repair the things a buyer will flag anyway. Then photography, because good photos of a prepared house is the whole game online.
-
Go live and stay close
Listing, showings, feedback. You hear from us with what buyers are actually saying, including when it is not what we hoped.
-
Negotiate and close
Offers, inspection requests, appraisal, paperwork. We keep you told rather than making you chase us for updates.
Included
Things you should not have to ask for.
-
A walkthrough before you commit
The room-by-room visit happens whether or not you decide to list with us. It is how you find out what your house is actually worth preparing.
-
Street-level pricing
Comparable sales from your pocket of the valley, not a city average that tells you almost nothing about your block.
-
Staging direction
Practical instructions, not a mood board. What to move, what to store, what to buy if anything, and in what order.
-
Straight answers on timing
Including when waiting a season is the better financial decision. That advice has cost us listings and we still give it.
Selling well is mostly a series of small decisions made early.Mitch & Kellie Wahl
