There are five key steps you should take when listing your home:

1. Prepare your home to get on the market. First impressions are everything, so we make sure to schedule a home staging consultation where a professional stager and interior designer will give you tips to prepare your home for the market.
2. Pre-inspections. For most homeowners, a pre-inspection is important because it removes potential unknowns that you want to avoid during the escrow process. We can set this up for you, as well.

4. Home evaluation. We'll give you a free home valuation through a market analysis and set up where your home should be positioned in the market. Or, you can have a professional appraiser come out for a full appraisal.
