Pricing Strategy

The right price isn't the highest price. It's the smartest one.

Overpricing costs more than just time. It costs credibility, leverage, and ultimately equity. Here's how we get it right.

★ Priced Right
Generates showings, multiple offers, and strong net proceeds. This is our target zone.
✕ Overpriced
Sits on market, accumulates days, triggers price cuts. Buyers wonder what's wrong.
↓ Underpriced
Creates urgency but sacrifices equity. We'll tell you when this strategy makes sense.

Price positioning strategy that generates competition, not just traffic

Home Prep

Small moves, big returns.

You don't need a renovation. You need a thoughtful prep checklist. Here's what makes the biggest difference.

Declutter ruthlessly. 30% less furniture makes rooms feel 30% larger
Deep clean everything. Especially baseboards, vents, and grout
Neutralize personal photos. Buyers need to picture themselves there
Touch up paint. Especially scuffs, doors, and trim
Fix small issues. Leaky faucets, sticky doors, burned-out bulbs
Boost curb appeal. Fresh mulch, trimmed bushes, clean front door
Open all blinds and curtains. Light = larger, brighter, better photos
Showing-ready 7 days a week. Beds made, dishes done, lights on
Understanding Value

CMA vs. Appraisal: two different tools.

Sellers often conflate these. They serve different purposes at different stages. Knowing the difference helps you make better decisions about pricing and offers.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

What it is: Your agent's analysis of recent sales, active listings, and expired homes comparable to yours. Used to set the right list price.

Who does it: Your real estate agent.

When: Before listing. Updated periodically if the market shifts during your listing window.

What it costs: Free, part of my listing service.

What it's based on: Recent sold comparables, current competition, neighborhood trends, days on market, and price-to-list ratios.

Appraisal

What it is: A licensed appraiser's professional valuation. Required by the buyer's lender to confirm the home is worth the loan amount.

Who does it: A licensed third-party appraiser ordered by the buyer's lender.

When: After the home is under contract, before closing.

What it costs: Typically $500-700, paid by the buyer.

What it's based on: Recent sold comparables, condition, square footage, and lot characteristics, using strict appraisal methodology.

When they disagree: If the appraisal comes in below the contract price, we have options. The buyer can bring the difference in cash, we can renegotiate price, or in some cases, we can challenge the appraisal with additional comparables. I walk you through this if and when it comes up.
