The price you set and the prep you do in the weeks before listing matter more than anything that happens after. I'll help you get both right, then keep you informed through to closing.
Price it right, prep what matters and stay informed from launch to closing.
That's the short version. The whole route, stop by stop

What I take off your plate before the sign goes up.

It depends on pricing, presentation, neighbourhood and current inventory. I will give you a realistic timeline for your area.
No. You can accept, counter, reject or wait. I will explain the price, terms, conditions and tradeoffs clearly.
