FIND IT FIRST.
so nobody RE-TRADES YOU.
Most sellers discover their home's problems the same week a buyer does — in escrow, with leverage on the other side. As a certified home inspector, I find them before we list, so your price survives the inspection contingency.
The listing process, run backwards.
Everyone else starts with staging. We start with structure — the only part of your sale that can cost you five figures after you're already in contract.
Pre-listing structural read
Before a single photo is taken, I walk the property the way a buyer's inspector will. Foundation, drainage, roof, envelope, electrical, plumbing, moisture. You get an honest list of what a report is going to say about your home — weeks before a buyer ever sees it.
Repair triage, ranked by ROI
Not every finding is worth fixing. I sort them into three buckets: fix it (buyers will price it at 3× the real cost), disclose it (cheaper to be transparent than to argue), and ignore it (cosmetic noise). You spend money only where it comes back.
Disclosures done thoroughly
Complete, specific disclosures paired with contractor documentation remove the buyer's leverage to re-open price. Vague disclosures invite renegotiation. We write yours to close the door.
Pricing on real condition
Comps tell you what similar homes sold for. Condition tells you where inside that range yours belongs. We price with both, so the number holds up under scrutiny instead of collapsing in escrow.
No re-trades
The most expensive moment in a sale is day 12 of escrow, when a buyer's inspection surfaces something nobody planned for and asks for a credit. When we've already found it, priced it, and documented it, there is nothing left to renegotiate.
