What sold, and how long it took. Every sale since last spring, slow ones too.
Every house has an hour. I photograph yours twice.
How I sell a house. Five things, in this order.
None of it is clever. It is done carefully, by the same people each time, and you hear from me every evening the house is on the market.
Price it to the street
I walk the block with you and price on what the last six houses actually sold for, not on what is listed.
Fix the three things buyers notice
Usually paint, light and the front step. I bring the list and the people; you decide what to spend.
Photograph it twice
At noon and at dusk, from the same spot, by a photographer I have worked with for eight years.
Open the door on a Saturday
One open house, done properly, then private viewings booked through me.
Read every offer with you
Terms before price. I will tell you which offer is still likely to be standing at closing.
Streets I know. Five neighbourhoods, house by house.
Kind words, filed by address. Pick a house to hear from the people who sold it.
“June told us the porch would sell it and to stop apologising for the kitchen. Six days later we were still apologising for the kitchen, but it had sold.”

Notes from the market. Written when something changes, not every week.
What nine days on the market actually means
The number on the listing sites counts from the day a house goes live. Here is what happens inside those days, and why the first weekend decides most of it.
Why I photograph every house twice
Noon shows buyers the rooms. Dusk shows them the house they will come home to. It costs one more evening and it is the photo they remember.
Pricing to the street, not to the hope
The listing price is a message to buyers. Priced to what the street has paid, it brings them in on the first weekend. Priced to the hope, it sits.
Your sale, day by day. Pick your neighbourhood and a Thursday.

From my own sales in each neighbourhood. Yours may be quicker or slower; I will tell you which before we list.
What’s yours worth? I’ll walk the street before I give you a number.
Tell me the address. I’ll look at the last six sales on your block, come round on a weekday evening, and send you a price you can hold me to. No listing agreement, no newsletter.
Or call (303) 555-0142. I answer my own phone.
