🏡 Sell Your Home with Confidence
Elzie's Proven Path to Maximum Profit & Quick Results
Our Bold Promise: Sellable, Not Just Sitting:
In today's market, properties can take anywhere from 60 to 90 days to sell. Elzie’s process is designed to cut through the noise and position your home as the must-have property.
By following Elzie's clear instructions, we will ensure your home is sold efficiently and profitably.
STEP 1
The Expert Eye: Showroom Ready Assessment
Disconnection Phase
Elzie's Proven Path to Maximum Profit & Quick Results
Before the first picture is taken, we walk through your property with the critical eyes of a potential buyer. We start with The Disconnection Phase—removing all personal photos and sentimental items. Buyers need to envision *their* life in the space, not yours. We help you disconnect so they can connect.
-
Declutter & Stage for Value:
We’ll open up the space, moving non-essential pieces into storage. -
The Fresh Look:
Simple updates, like painting, can give your home the "fresh look" it needs to attract top dollar offers.
– Elzie’s Golden Rule
STEP 2
Curb Appeal & The Beauty Contest
(During the Process)
A motivated seller must be willing to invest strategically. We call this “The Beauty Contest.”
-
First Impressions Matter:
We must "freshen up the landscape." Great curb appeal is the magnet that draws buyers in. -
Beauty vs. The Beast:
Every home on the market is in competition. We are aiming for Beauty to secure the fastest sale and highest price. -
Strategic Investment:
Any minor work you do now is an investment to make your home more sellable, not necessarily more valuable. This is upkeep crucial for attracting competitive offers.
STEP 3
Precision Pricing: The Certified Market Analysis
The Deep Dive:
We believe in pricing your home based on facts, not guesswork. Overpricing means the home will sit, and buyers will assume it’s overpriced or that “something is wrong.”
- Elzie conducts a Certified Market Analysis (CMA) comparing your home only to truly comparable properties, matching square footage, year built, and key features.
- We price your home based on what the market is truly saying it will bear.
-
Avoid Chasing the Market:
We price it right from the start to get it sold and prevent the need for continuous price drops.
STEP 4

🤝 Your Questions, Answered & A Friend for Life
How quickly can you sell my home, and how does the current market affect me?
The current market average is 60 to 90 days. If we follow the “Showroom Ready” plan and price accurately from the start, we position ourselves to sell within or ahead of this timeframe. I provide a weekly market watch report to keep you fully informed.
How does Elzie ensure I get the maximum price in the quickest time?
By combining Precision Pricing (CMA) with the Showroom Ready Assessment. We ensure your home looks like the most money and is priced exactly where the market will respond immediately. This avoids sitting on the market, which always leads to lower sale prices.
Why should I invest money in preparing the home if I won't enjoy the improvements?
This is a Strategic investment to win the “Beauty Contest.” These are not upgrades for value, but tasks for sellability. The few dollars you spend now prevent price deductions later, ensuring you net the maximum amount needed to pay off your mortgage and meet your financial targets.
How do you ensure the sale covers my mortgage and future financial targets?
Our Certified Market Analysis (CMA) establishes a realistic selling price that we aim for. By pricing accurately and preparing the home for top dollar, we minimize delays and ensure the final sales proceeds meet your critical financial needs without causing strain.
I've seen different estimates online. How do we determine the right asking price?
We use facts, not estimates. Elzie conducts a detailed CMA by comparing your home to truly comparable, recently sold properties (square footage, age, features). We price based on what the market will pay, not what general websites suggest. We price it right to sell, not to sit.
Do my recent improvements (like a new deck or painting) justify a higher asking price?
These items make your home highly sellable and attractive, but they are often categorized as upkeep or personal enjoyment and may not always significantly increase the appraised value above comparable homes. We factor them in, but we rely on the CMA to prevent overpricing.
How do we prevent the financial burden of paying two mortgages?
The primary way to avoid dual mortgages is to price correctly from day one. An overpriced home sits, forcing you to constantly drop the price and pay two mortgages. We follow the market, not chase it, to ensure a timely and clean closing.
I have a tight deadline due to an upcoming move. Can you meet it?
I move very fast. The timeline depends on your effort in completing the Showroom Ready recommendations. By doing the work now and pricing accurately, you maximize our chances of securing an offer quickly and getting you to your next home on schedule.
