Selling Your Home? Let’s Work Together!


My job is to serve you in selling your property for the most money, with the best terms and the least frustration for you…achieving your goals is my goal!

Selling a home is a huge investment, both financially and emotionally. I will be more than your agent, I will be your advocate and will guide you along your real estate journey as I would my closest friend to help you accomplish your goals for selling your property. Selling your home or property is not the end goal, it’s the means through which you can accomplish your goals and transition to the next chapter.

I guarantee to represent you with undivided loyalty, trust, diligence, and confidentiality throughout the selling process and beyond.

What is a CMA?

If you decide to sell your home, we’ll work together to set a price based on the condition of your home, recent upgrades and improvements, and primarily based on a current Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). The CMA will identify nearby homes that are similar to yours in house and lot size, location, age, and condition that are currently on the market, have recently sold, and even those that failed to sell (Expired and Withdrawn listings). This current market data along with other factors will help us to determine a realistic price point for listing your home. Timing and location are key factors in determining what buyers are willing and able to afford in any given market.

In Maryland, you can list your home as Coming Soon before the listing goes active. A real estate sign is a common way to advertise your listing in your community and for drive-by traffic .

All of the details of the listing will be included in an agency agreement that will include, among other things, the initial price, the date the listing will go live, the length of our agency relationship, the agreed upon commission rate and fees for me as your agent, as well as considering what compensation you may choose to offer for the buyers’ agent if we sell the home.

We’ll work together to prepare your property for showings and photographs which will include cleaning and decluttering your home as well as showcasing the most positive aspects of the interior and exterior. Before showings begin, we will determine showing expectations for prospective buyers as well as for you as the seller.

Once the listing goes live in the MLS, I’ll market it using both traditional outlets as well as social media platforms. We can schedule an Open House and/or a Broker’s Open when your listing goes live if that is something you’re interested in doing – we can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of an Open House and decide together if and when to hold one. I will communicate all showing requests to you immediately before confirming the appointments and will share all feedback received from showings as soon as it is received. 

Open House directional signs bring in passersby in addition to those who saw it advertised online.
An Open House may or may not be a marketing option you and your Realtor determine fits your marketing plan.

My Job as Your Realtor Is:

  1. To assist you in exposing as many qualified buyers as possible to your home until it is sold through marketing campaigns, Open Houses, and signage.
  2. To communicate with you regularly regarding the results of our activities using your preferred method of communication (phone, text, email).
  3. To represent you on all offer presentations to assure you the best price and terms in negotiations.
  4. To represent and advocate for you throughout the contract period including property inspections, appraisals, contract negotiations, mortgage and title work.

And to accomplish all of this with the least frustration possible for you!

The goal for ALL listings is to sell your home for the most amount of money, at the best terms, with the least frustration for you!
