Selling a Home
From understanding the market value of your home, to navigating the complicated selling process – I’m here to help.
Selling With Shannon
Here’s the thing…Selling your home means finding an agent you not only trust, but connect with both personally and professionally. When you hire me, you get me. I always put my clients first and I will never pass you off to my assistant or team. I make sure my clients always feel taken care of every step of the way – because let’s face it, things don’t always go as planned and you’ll need someone you can call when things get a little sticky along the way. I don’t do this just to win awards and shout “I’m #1!” from the rooftops. That’s not my style. I do this because I love this.
I specialize in boutique-style service. What does that mean? In a nutshell it means I run my business like a small business where I always put my clients first. By using this boutique-style system, I am able to provide you with a hands-on listing experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Hands-on service from start to finish
The way I see it, when you hire me – we’re in it together. It’s a partnership from start to finish. My clients can tell you I am 100% invested in working by your side throughout the entire process. I go above and beyond to make your selling experience the best you’ve ever had.
A marketing strategy that works
Put simply, I do not cut corners. I have an all-inclusive marketing strategy that works. I craft a custom marketing plan specifically designed to sell YOUR property. From professional staging, to interactive floor plans and jaw-dropping photography, your property will be presented to attract the most buyers and net you the highest price the market will bear.
Prep to sell in 6-steps:
Your home selling roadmap
I’ve developed a comprehensive six-step process that acts as your personal roadmap, guiding you steadily as you prepare your home to sell.
01.
Tackle Any Deferred Maintenance
You are required to disclose items in need of repair so go ahead and get to work on making repairs to any items that are not in working order or items an inspector would flag as deficient. I can help you by recommending various service providers.
02.
Identify Updates & Improvements
Making a few minor updates and improvements can yield big returns when you sell. Paint and fixtures go a long way. I can help recommend the most important updates to help sell your home and increase your sales price.
03.
Deep Clean & De-Clutter
A clean, organized, and clutter-free home often translates to to a higher offer price. Whether you choose to use a professional cleaning service or do it yourself, deep cleaning the property and packing away the clutter will show off the value of your home.
04.
Clean Up & Refresh Landscaping
You only have one shot at making a good first impression. Start with your curb appeal. Trim your trees, remove leaves and weeds, add some fresh mulch, and plant some flowers. Refreshing your exterior goes a long way!
05.
Neutralize/Eliminate Strong Odors
Every home has a unique scent. However, pet, cooking, smoke or other strong odors can not only keep a home from selling, but can result in low offers. I can help by identifying the source and giving suggestions to neutralize any strong odors.
06.
Have Home Professionally Staged
Is it really necessary to stage a home to sell? Yes! Research shows that homes that have been staged are more likely to sell faster and at a higher price. Not only do I have extensive staging experience, I also work with professional stagers so your property will always stand out.
What People Say
I highly recommend Shannon. We initially went with a discount broker due to the cheaper cost. This market is crazy and we needed the most out of our house. We quickly learned you get what you pay for! Shannon is worth every dollar. She came in with a marketing plan, staging, negotiation strategies, and our pictures were greatly improved. We had 4 offers within 4 days all over asking! Shannon is simply worth it!
