Where Do You Start When You’re Ready to Sell Your Home?
The Home Selling Process
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, relocating, or settling an estate, selling a home comes with a lot of moving pieces—pricing, prep, showings, negotiations, paperwork.
We handle all of it. Our job is to get you the best possible price with the least possible hassle, and to give you a straight answer at every step along the way.
1. Home Evaluation
We'll walk through your home and give you an honest assessment of what it's worth in the market—based on real comparable sales in your neighborhood.
2. Prep & Pricing Strategy
We'll recommend which updates are worth making (and which aren't), then set a pricing strategy designed to attract strong offers. Sometimes a small investment in prep pays for itself.
3. Listing and Marketing
Your home goes live on the MLS, which feeds it to Zillow, Realtor.com, and everywhere buyers are looking. Professional presentation and accurate details help you stand out.
4. Showings and Offers
We coordinate showings around your schedule and present every offer with our honest recommendation—including the fine print that can make a "high" offer weaker than it looks.
5. Negotiation to Closing
We negotiate on your behalf, manage the inspection and appraisal process, and keep the deal on track through closing day.

Yes—New York is an attorney state, meaning a real estate attorney handles your contract and closing. If you don't have one, we can recommend trusted local attorneys we work with regularly.
