Steps to selling your home

When I represent a seller, I have your best interests at heart. Whether you’re selling a $100,000 home or a $30 million home, you will get my full attention, 24/7 availability, top notch staging advice, professional marketing, tough negotiating skills, and amazing photographers as well as my expert and honest advice.  I believe it’s my job to not only sell your home for the highest price, but to do so quickly with as little stress and interruption in your life as possible.  I go above and beyond for every seller from using my staging techniques on your house when needed, arranging for contractors to do repairs during the inspection period as needed, to helping you find professional packers and movers. Still need more proof that I’m really good at what I do? Ask me for referrals.

Want to do some projects to your home to get it ready for the market? How about using the equity in your home without opening a line of credit or being charged interest? Check out my exclusive Shaina Concierge program.

Some sellers prefer a quick sale or to be listed privately. Check out more information on my Immediate Purchase Program and Exclusive Listing option.

If you’re interested in working with me, please download my seller checklist.  This checklist contains the steps we will follow together from A to Z to sell your home for top dollar. Second, send me an email at shaina@montcoliving.com so we can set up a time to for me to conduct a free market analysis of your home. Third, I will send you a seller net sheet which is the approximate amount of closing cost fees you will need to pay out of the sales price to sell your home.
