Selling a home in Gig Harbor
The Best Sale Starts Before the Listing Goes Live.
Pricing. Presentation. Positioning. Timing.
The decisions we make before your home hits the market can have just as much impact as what happens after.

20 years of marketing strategy
Your Home Deserves More Than a Listing.
I spent two decades learning what makes people notice, pay attention and take action.
That experience shapes everything from how I position your home and build the launch to the photography, messaging and way buyers experience it online.
The goal is not more marketing. It’s better marketing.
The pre-listing strategy
Prepare
Prepare
What actually needs attention before we list — and what doesn’t.
Position

Price, presentation and messaging designed around your home and its buyer.
Launch
Launch
A coordinated release built to create attention when it matters most.
Experience on both sides of the table
I’ve Been the Seller, Too. More Than 100 Times.
I’ve personally bought and sold more than 100 properties.
That changes the way I look at a transaction.
I’m thinking about the buyer, the numbers, inspection, appraisal, negotiation, risk and what actually has to happen for a deal to make it all the way to closing.

Preparing your home to sell
Not Every Improvement Creates Value.
Before you spend $30,000 getting your home ready to sell, let’s figure out whether the market will actually pay you back for it.
Some improvements create leverage. Some simply create expense.
We’ll focus on the work buyers will notice, the friction worth removing, and the things I would leave completely alone.
Spend where the market will notice.
Leave alone what the market won’t pay you back for.

Pricing + positioning
Price Is Part of the Positioning.
The right price is not simply a number pulled from recent sales.
It is a positioning decision based on the market, the competition, buyer behavior and how we want your home to enter the conversation.
The goal is not to chase the market. It’s to enter it intentionally.

When the offers come in
The Highest Offer Isn’t Always the Best Offer.
Price matters. So do financing, contingencies, inspection terms, appraisal risk, timing and the buyer’s actual ability to close.
I evaluate the whole offer, not just the number at the top.
Financing · Contingencies · Inspection · Appraisal · Timing
A strong offer is the one most likely to get you where you want to go.
