We've learned over time that a successful sale is very often the result of 5 different experts coming together in support of the seller's goals.

The 5 experts

The first two experts are the professional painter and the professional handyman. The painter and the handyman create value by eliminating common buyer objections, and by adding a few low-cost/high-impact updates. It's amazing what new cabinet hardware, a few new light fixtures, and a fresh coat of the right paint can do for a home. Very often it's the simple updates like these that create tens of thousands of dollars of value for the client. 

The third expert is the professional stager. The stager works with the painter and the handyman, so that the painter and the handyman are focused on the right projects. The stager also plans ahead for the work of the fourth expert, the professional photographer. Both the stager and the photographer know that first impressions are always formed online, so both are focused on creating images that attract and engage buyers. 

And of course the fifth expert is the realtor, the person who assembles the team and oversees the sale through the marketing, negotiation, and closing. Viewed in this light, your realtor is more than an agent. Your realtor is the consultant who guides you to the right decisions that lead to a smooth and profitable sale.
