Coffee should be hot. Beer should be cold. If they aren’t, it’s disappointing, but it doesn’t change your life.
Selling your home is different. It’s likely your largest asset, and you deserve reasonable expectations: market value, in a reasonable time, with as few hassles as possible.
Here’s what to ask before you hire an agent.
Ask your agent to explain how they’ll
- Price it right, based on real comparable sales, not wishful thinking.
- Prepare it to make a strong first impression, online and in person.
- Position it in the market so the right buyers see it and act.
What you should always expect
Hard work, honest advice and an agent who represents your interests. Share your goals and timeline up front, so your agent can tell you plainly what’s realistic.
How I work
I’ve sold homes for about two decades, and as a builder I can tell you which repairs are worth making and which aren’t. Start with a home value estimate, the seller questionnaire or my home staging guide.
A simple plan for your what to expect from your agent move
I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes across the west metro for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. For the local picture, read my Chaska homes guide or browse neighborhoods in Chanhassen and Victoria.
Your next step in what to expect from your agent
Every move is different. When you’re ready to talk about yours, I’m a call or text away.
Please note: I don’t handle rentals or property management. I work with buyers and sellers, and that’s where I can help you most in what to expect from your agent.
Stay close to the market, without the noise.
Every so often I send a short, practical note: what Twin Cities homes did, prep tips that are worth the money, and neighborhoods worth a look.
Thank you! You’re on the list.
I’m glad you’re here. A quick confirmation is on its way to your inbox. Whenever you want to talk about your own home or a move, I’m a call or text away.
