How I help you sell
Comparative market analysis
A pricing plan built on recent sales in your neighborhood, not an online estimate.
Professional marketing and photography
Professional photos, video and targeted online marketing that reach local, relocating and military buyers.
Staging guidance
A room-by-room plan for what to fix, what to leave and how to present the home for the best first impression.
Negotiation
From multiple offers to repair requests and appraisal gaps, I protect your price and keep the deal on track.
How selling with me works
Step 1:A free home value consultation in Hampton Roads
We start with a walkthrough of your home and a conversation about your timing, goals and next move. Whether you're selling in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk or Portsmouth, this is where we map out a plan that fits your life, including buying your next home or relocating.
Step 2:A comparative market analysis and pricing strategy
I pull recent nearby sales, active competition and homes that didn't sell, then adjust for your home's condition, updates and location. You get a clear recommended list price and an estimate of your net proceeds, so you know what you'll walk away with before you list.
Step 3:Preparing your home to sell
I give you a short, honest prep list focused on repairs and updates that actually pay off, plus staging guidance for each room. For older Hampton Roads homes, we talk through a possible pre-listing inspection so surprises don't derail a sale later.
Step 4:Professional photography and listing marketing
Your home goes live with professional photos, video walkthroughs and a strong written description, listed on the MLS and major home search sites. I market to local buyers, relocating families and military buyers moving to the area.
Step 5:Showings, open houses and feedback
I schedule showings around your life, run open houses when they make sense and share buyer feedback quickly. If you've already moved or are on PCS orders, I handle access and keep you updated from anywhere.
Step 6:Reviewing offers and negotiating the best terms
I walk you through every offer, comparing price, financing, contingencies, closing date and concessions, not just the headline number. Then I negotiate to get you the strongest terms possible.
Step 7:Inspection, appraisal and repair negotiation
Once you're under contract, I manage the home inspection response, termite inspection, appraisal and the buyer's lender timeline, negotiating repairs or credits so the deal stays on track.
Step 8:Closing on your home sale
I coordinate with the title company and the buyer's agent, review your closing figures with you and make sure everything is ready for closing day. After the sale, I'm still here for referrals and questions whenever you need them.

Questions about hiring a listing agent
How does listing commission work?
Commission is agreed in writing in your listing agreement before we go live, and it's paid from the sale proceeds at closing. I'll explain exactly what's included and what it covers.
What closing costs do sellers pay in Virginia?
Typically commission, the Virginia grantor's tax, settlement and attorney fees, prorated taxes and any agreed buyer concessions. See my guide to closing costs when selling a house in Virginia and try the net proceeds calculator.
How long does it take to get a home ready to list?
Many homes are ready in one to three weeks with cleaning, touch-up paint and small repairs. Bigger projects take longer, and I'll tell you honestly which ones are worth it.
Should I sell before or after buying my next home?
It depends on your finances and the market. Selling first gives you certainty on your budget; buying first avoids a double move. I'll help you weigh both and can structure contracts to line up the dates.
How do you decide on a list price?
I compare recent sales, active competition and your home's condition and features, then recommend a price that attracts strong offers without leaving money on the table.
Do I need to be home for showings?
No. Showings are scheduled through a lockbox and I'll send you feedback after each one.
