Selling
Selling your home
What the process looks like, from the first walkthrough to close.
Sold
Homes I sold
My most recent sales, newest first.
What clients say
“We interviewed four agents and Shane was the only one who walked the house before quoting a number. He told us the kitchen was fine and the deck was not. We spent six hundred dollars on the deck and had three offers by the second Monday.”
The process
How it goes
Walk the house together
An hour, room by room, deciding what is worth doing before a single buyer sees it. Usually it is less than people expect.
Price it to the block
Comps from your streets, not the county average, and the number I would list at even if you would rather hear a bigger one.
Prepare, repair, stage
The paint, the clear-out and the one or two repairs that pay for themselves. I project manage it and I have the crews.
Photograph and launch
Professional photos on a good light day, listing copy I write myself, and a launch timed for a Thursday so the first weekend counts.
Show it and report back
Open houses both weekends with a sign-in link, private showings midweek, and what buyers actually said in your inbox the same day.
Read the offers, then close
Price, financing, contingencies and timing read out side by side, then escrow kept on schedule to the date you need to be out.
Why work with me
Why work with me
I write every listing myself
Not a template with your address dropped into it. Buyers and their agents can tell within two sentences, and so can search engines.
You hear the feedback first-hand
I am at the showings, so what a buyer said in your kitchen reaches you that evening, unfiltered, including the parts you will not enjoy.
One number, in writing, before we list
You get my honest price and the three comps behind it on paper. If you want a higher number I will tell you what it costs you in days on market.
Ten years of buyers in one market
The people I sold to in 2018 are the ones trading up now, and they hear about your house before the sign goes up.
I am there for the hard parts
The repair request after the inspection, the appraisal that comes in low, the buyer who gets cold feet. That is the job and I do not hand it off.
No listing I cannot defend
If I think your house needs three weeks and six hundred dollars before it goes live, I will say so rather than take the easy listing.
Marketing
How I market a home
Professional photography
Shot on a good light day by a photographer who does this full time, not on a phone at four in the afternoon.
Listing copy written for your house
Your home gets its own paragraphs, written for the buyer scrolling at midnight and for the search engine that indexed it an hour earlier.
Floor plan and measured rooms
Buyers rule out houses they cannot picture. A proper floor plan keeps yours on the list long enough to get a showing.
Twilight and drone where it helps
Not for every house. For the ones with a view, a pool or a street that photographs better at dusk, it is worth the extra evening.
A neighborhood guide that links to you
The guide for your area, written by me and linked from your listing, so buyers arrive already sold on the street.
Open house with a sign-in link
Both weekends, with a QR code at the door, so you know exactly who walked through and I know who to call on Monday.
Emailed to my buyer list first
Every buyer I am working with, plus ten years of past clients, hear about your home the day before it is public.
Weekly reporting until it sells
Views, showings, saves and what buyers said, in one email every Monday. No chasing me for an update.
Selling
What is your home worth?
Tell me where it is and what you have done to it, and I will come back to you.
No instant estimate.
