For sellers
A price backed by the numbers, a launch that gets your home seen, and a negotiator in your corner.
For homeowners
Prices move street by street. Get a valuation built from the homes that actually sold near you, with a walk-through of what would move the number.
The plan
From the first walk-through to the closing table, with what happens and when.
Why you are selling and when shapes everything that follows - price, preparation, timing. I will show you what the market is doing right now and what you would realistically walk away with.
Know where you are going before you list. A buyer's timeline will not wait for yours.
Choose an agent who knows your market and can show you results. I walk through your home and price it from the sales that actually compete with it - you will see the numbers behind the recommendation, not just the number.
Overpricing is the most expensive mistake in selling. The first two weeks bring the most buyers - a price that misses them rarely recovers.
Curb appeal, small repairs, cleaning and staging - a short, prioritised list of what is worth doing and what is not. Then professional photography and a launch on the MLS, every major portal and my own buyer network.
Fresh paint, bright bulbs and a clear kitchen counter return more than almost any renovation.
I compare every offer on what matters - price, financing strength, contingencies, timing - and negotiate for the strongest total result, not just the biggest number. Once you accept, the buyer's deposit goes into escrow.
A slightly lower offer with a large deposit and no financing risk is often the better one.
The buyer's inspector and the lender's appraiser visit. No home is perfect; I help you judge what is reasonable to fix, respond to repair requests, and keep every deadline on track.
Disclose what you know up front. An issue shared early costs far less than one found at inspection.
The buyer's final walk-through, your signatures, the funds transfer and the keys change hands. I stay on top of every last detail so nothing slips at the finish.
Keep homeowner's insurance and utilities running until the day of closing.
Your bottom line
Commission, closing costs and your mortgage payoff, taken off the top – the number that actually lands in your account.
Estimated net proceeds

At this price you would bring money to closing. Let's talk through the options.
An estimate for planning only. Before you list, I will prepare a net sheet with your actual payoff, local fees and tax proration.
Client stories
Debra went above and beyond to help me view a house she has listed. She was on her vacation on a Florida beach, and took the effort to get the house available for me to view over the weekend from thousands of miles away. I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Banning CA area.
Questions
From the homes that actually compete with yours: recent sales, active listings and the ones that did not sell, adjusted for condition, location and features. You see the whole analysis, not just the number.
In a balanced market, a well-priced home typically goes under contract within a few weeks, then takes 30 to 45 days to close. I will show you the current local numbers for homes like yours.
Rarely. Paint, repairs, decluttering and good lighting usually return more than they cost; kitchens and bathrooms usually do not. I will give you a short list of what is worth doing.
Commission, the title and escrow fees, any repairs you agree to, and prorated taxes. I will give you a net sheet showing what you should walk away with at different prices before you list.
Yes, most sellers do. We will schedule showings around your life, and I will give you a quick checklist to have the house ready in fifteen minutes.
