A home's condition is just as important as its price and location. Julie strategizes with each seller in order to maximize a home's potential to achieve the highest price in the least amount of time. Prior to listing, sellers receive a specific plan on items that can be completed prior to the property entering the open market. Staging, decluttering, furniture placement, painting, landscaping, etc. This is an invaluable step and lends the seller a competitive edge over the competition.

Putting your home on the market is a private decision. Many times, sellers have a need for privacy, due to job relocation, family changes, or simply the desire to test the market. This option allows you to control who is exposed to your home. With a Private Exclusive, your home will be shared with Top Agents and clients. It will not be advertised on MLS or in print.
