NEGOTIATING & CLOSING DEALS

Real estate can be wild, so why not enjoy the ride?

Your property value is closely tied to the pricing history in your region. Price is thus determined not only by comparable properties, but by strategically maximizing the interest of current buyers to produce the highest possible financial return.

Once your home is listed on the market, Nancy and Sophia will advise you on how showings and open houses fit into the selling strategy. Our team will work with you to facilitate them, and give feedback on your property from prospective buyers so you can adjust the price, or presentation of your home if need be.
