Your selling plan
A clear plan before the sign goes up.
From the first pricing conversation to the response after launch, understand what each step is meant to accomplish. Build the details around your home, budget, and timing with Andrew.
How the plan comes together
Preparation. Presentation. Follow-through.
This is the framework for your planning conversation. Specific services, expenses, launch dates, and communication expectations are agreed together for your property.
01 · Before you commit
Price against the homes buyers will compare
Review relevant closed sales alongside active competition. Account for condition, layout, lot, improvements, and ownership costs instead of relying on a citywide average.
What to work through: Discuss a supported price range, the assumptions behind it, and an initial estimate of selling costs and net proceeds.
02 · Before photography
Choose preparation that fits your move
Walk through repair needs, cleaning, decluttering, and presentation. Separate essential information and practical improvements from optional projects, with your budget and timing in mind.
What to work through: Agree on priorities, responsibilities, and a preparation schedule before committing to work. Staging and vendor services depend on the property and agreed scope.
03 · Build the listing
Give buyers a clear picture
Plan photography and property descriptions around the features buyers need to understand. Consider whether floor plans, video, or other materials would help explain the layout and how the home lives.
What to work through: Review the presentation plan, key property details, and any added service costs together before launch.
04 · Launch
Coordinate exposure and access
Discuss MLS positioning, available portal distribution, relevant agent outreach, and whether social content or open houses fit the property. Coordinate launch timing with photography, readiness, and showing access.
What to work through: Agree on a launch checklist and showing plan. The channels and materials used are tailored to your listing; third-party distribution and placement can vary.
05 · While listed
Use feedback to guide the next decision
Review showing activity, buyer questions, feedback, and changes in competing inventory. A quiet launch is a reason to examine price, presentation, and access together.
What to work through: Set a communication cadence and review points so you know when to assess the response and discuss adjustments.
06 · Offers through closing
Compare offers by what they mean for you
Look at price together with financing, contingencies, concessions, timing, and estimated net proceeds. Coordinate the agreed transaction milestones and keep the next decision clear through escrow.
What to work through: An offer comparison and a clear view of the remaining steps, rather than a decision based only on the headline price.
Your first conversation
Start with your questions.
You do not need to be ready to list. Bring your address, approximate timing, known improvements or repair needs, and what you are unsure about. If you want to discuss net proceeds, an approximate mortgage payoff helps frame that conversation.
