How Much Is Your Home Worth?
Clear guidance, a practical plan, and less stress for families navigating estate home sales and people downsizing, all within your time frame.
Six steps to getting your home sold.
1
Understanding your situation
Clarify your goals for the sale
Identify the situation
Estate: home is occupied or vacant
Downsizing: you've already bought, plan to buy after the sale, or are moving to an apartment or senior living
Identify everyone involved in the decision process
2
Building a plan that fits you
Set a time frame that works for you
Decide how much, if any, updating you want to do
Decide what needs to be moved out before showings
Choose your direction (see below)
3
Getting the home ready
We coordinate cleaning, staging, and moving out
Trusted vendors for every level of help, from a light clean to a full estate cleanout
4
Showing your home at its best
Professional photography that highlights the home's best features
Social media campaign on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
Exposure on every major home search site
5
One unified front
Estate sales often involve attorneys, and we have strong working relationships with many of them. We understand what each attorney needs, as well as the needs of every family member involved, so we can present a unified front and get the right offer from start to finish.
6
A smooth handoff
Remove all items as stated in the contract
Leave the home in broom-swept condition
Coordinate signatures from everyone who needs to sign
Review final documents before closing
Ensure a smooth transfer of the home to the new buyer
Every home and family is different, so we'll walk through your options together.
