When You Hire Christine to Sell Your Home...

My promise to you is that I will listen to everything that matters to you in the sale of your home, and guide you in what works and what doesn't.

 

First Step: Sharing a market analysis with you of homes in YOUR area close to the criteria's of your home that have sold or have not sold, to help narrow down a price point we should sell your home at.

Second Step: Once price has been established we will talk about when to put your home on the market. This will be determined by the readiness of your home, see the list below of what makes a home ready in todays market.
