Find a Realtor, Me :)
A lot of Realtors “List and Leave it.” Not me. I provide a full service menu of services when listing your home and offer weekly reports so you know exactly where your home is being marketed and how many people are seeing your beautiful listing online.

Open Title
This step is often glossed over at the beginning of the process, but pulling your title report early is very important to make sure your property is free of any liens.

Set the Right Price
When setting your list price, the best question to ask is what are current home buyers willing and able to afford in the Spokane market. There’s a lot that goes into this and I will educate and provide you with all the information needed to arrive at a list price.

Be Ready to Negotiate
When reviewing and accepting an offer, it is extremely important that you have a Realtor who reads the fine print. I’m a full time Realtor who reads contracts over and over to make sure you are protected in all cases.

Be Ready for Buyers to Walk Away
Sounds strange right? But, in reality, buyers walk away from transactions all the time. However, I always have a contingency plan for scenarios just like this so you’re always covered.

Negotiate Inspection
Buyers will most likely get an inspection and ask for certain things to be repaired or updated. There are so many options you have as a seller when you receive an inspection response, having an experienced Realtor on your side to navigate this part of the deal is crucial.

Communication is key
I immediately turn into an Event Planner to make sure you have a successful closing. I coordinate with all parties involved to make sure we’re all on the same page to close on time.

Top 10 Marketing Questions to Ask When Selling Your Home
Is your realtor any good at marketing? Find out by asking these questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The better question to ask is “What are current home buyers willing and able to pay for your house.” Buyers set the real estate market so it’s important to understand current buyer interest rates and market conditions.
-
There are some updates you should do before selling your house, but there are some you should stay away from. I will help guide you through these decisions.
-
Not so much look for, but smell for. Be very mindful of what your home smells like and what odors it gives off. And you may not know since you’re used to the smell of your own house. Any pet or old water flooding odors needs to be addressed before listing your house.
-
If you don’t address the peeling paint on your house, then you eliminate all future buyers who need to obtain an FHA loan.
-
It depends. The buyer now has a decision to make. They can either pay the difference themselves, or let the seller know of the lower value and the seller can either accept the lower value and change the purchase price as such, or walk away from the transaction.
-
Never get a pre-inspection of your house before listing. Because if you do, you will need to disclose EVERYTHING that comes up on the inspection report. Plus, all inspectors are different and see different things. Just wait for the buyer to do the inspection, negotiate and go from there.
-
Ask your Realtor for a Seller Net sheet, which will outline all taxes and commissions deducted from your house sale so you will be able to see what your Net proceeds will be.
-
There’s no such thing as the “best time”. There’s always buyers waiting to get into a house in Spokane, so when you’re ready to list, there will be buyers out there.
-
The problem with offers that contain a home sale contingency is that you have to rely on a successful closing of the buyer’s home before you can close on your property. There’s a lot of risk associated with that. However, if you accept the home sale contingency offer, you can still show your home and accept other offers that don’t have a home sale contingency.
-
Not nearly as accurate as a local professional Realtor’s assessment.
