“Where do I even begin?”
That’s the number one question I hear from folks getting ready to downsize, and it’s a fair one.
If you’ve lived in your home for decades, selling it can feel like a mountain of stress. There’s clutter to sort through, rooms that need freshening up, and the emotional weight of moving. But with the right help, you can move once, get top dollar for your home, and keep your sanity in the process.
The Biggest Challenge Is Too Much Stuff
Let’s be honest. We’ve all collected too much stuff over the years. I know I have!
Most downsizers feel stuck before they even start because of the amount of stuff in their homes. That’s where my team and I step in. Whether it’s donating, tossing, selling on Facebook Marketplace, or hosting an estate auction, we’ve got systems in place to help.
All you have to do is point and tell us where things should go. We’ll handle the rest.
Prepping the Property Without Breaking the Bank
Once your space is clean and cleared, the next step is making it market-ready. But that doesn’t mean spending thousands.
I always look at what the market supports. Sometimes selling “as-is” is the smartest move. Other times, small, strategic updates can make a big difference.
Smart, Budget-Friendly Fixes Can Include:
- Modern light fixtures and ceiling fans
- New bathroom mirrors and lighting
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring
- Deep cleaning of baseboards, doors, and trim
Just changing a dated light fixture and mirror can transform a bathroom, without replacing the faucet or counters.
Dealing With Odors and Staging for Success
Smells sell, or kill, a deal. Smoke, pet, or cooking odors linger, and buyers notice.
We tackle odor with deep cleaning, ozone treatments, and sealing wood when necessary. I also personally stage vacant homes using odor-free rugs, throws, and furniture to create warmth and style.
Result? Your home looks and smells fresh, helping buyers fall in love faster, and pay more.
Timing Matters (And Can Save You Thousands)
Timing is everything in real estate. Waiting too long can cost you.
Recently, a condo that could’ve sold for $330K dropped to $300K because of increased inventory in the neighborhood. That’s a $30,000 loss for waiting just a few months too long.
I help you time the market and price your home smartly, using real, local data, not just online estimates.
Help You Can Count On (That Most Realtors Don’t Offer)
Most agents hand you a checklist. I build a custom plan for each client and help carry it out.
I line up contractors, coordinate clean-outs, and help you find your next home while we’re prepping the one you’re selling.
That way, if you find the perfect place, you’re ready to make a strong offer. Fast.
“I don’t just list the house. I become part of the plan.”
