Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

As a proud recipient of the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation—the premier seller agency designation in the country- I bring expert knowledge and proven strategies to help you prepare your home for the market. Getting your property market-ready is essential for maximizing its value, and I’m here to guide you through every step of the process. Here’s how I can help:  

  • Assessing Your Home’s Value: Thanks to my husband, Mark, a licensed appraiser with over 30 years of experience, I have an insider’s understanding of home values. This unique knowledge helps me provide you with a clear and realistic pricing strategy that aligns with current market trends and ensures you maximize your investment.

  • Making Key Updates: We’ll walk through your home together to identify simple, cost-effective updates that can make a big difference. Whether it's freshening up paint, enhancing curb appeal, or improving light fixtures, I’ll guide you on the best ways to make your home shine without over-investing.

  • Staging and Presentation: First impressions matter. I’ll work with you to stage your home in a way that highlights its strengths and appeals to buyers. With my experience and Mark's appraisal expertise, we know what buyers look for and will ensure your home is presented in the best possible light.

  • Professional Photography and Virtual Tours: Using the latest technology, I ensure your home is captured beautifully in online listings. High-quality photos, virtual tours, and drone shots help showcase your property to buyers from all angles and attract attention immediately.

  • Strategic Marketing: I don’t just rely on online listings—I have strong relationships within the local community and real estate industry. I tap into this network to spread the word about your property and connect with the right buyers quickly.

  • Negotiation Expertise: As a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), I’ve received specialized training in advanced negotiation strategies, equipping me to navigate any situation with confidence. My goal is to secure the most favorable terms for you, whether it’s managing offers, addressing contingencies, or ensuring the appraisal value aligns with the final contract. With a deep understanding of market trends and a focus on protecting your interests, I’ll work tirelessly to ensure your transaction runs smoothly and you achieve the best possible outcome.

Wow. Seriously, Wow. Kelly and Jennifer went way beyond my high expectations and needs. Number one, we sold and closed quickly and for a good price.

They were incredibly helpful in connecting me to service providers to take care of many things to make the home ready for sale. Without their help I'd still be prepping. They...
