Selling a home,
explained properly.

I take you through each step of selling, what it involves and why it matters, so you can make clear decisions about the biggest thing you own.

The process

Seven stages, no surprises.

Every sale follows the same path. Knowing it in advance means you can ask the right questions at the right time.

Didn't sell the first time?

A home that doesn't sell usually has a reason. Most come back to five things. I'll look over your campaign and tell you plainly what I would change, and what I wouldn't.

Get a second opinion

The five usual reasons

Price. Did the price match what the evidence supported?

Presentation. Did the photos and the home itself show at their best?

Marketing. Did the campaign reach the people most likely to buy?

Method. Was the sale method right for the home and the market?

Communication. Did you know what buyers were saying, and when?

Blair Thompson with his family

"I'd rather you understood every step than simply trusted me."

I've lived in Whitby for about twenty years, and I sell homes across the greater Wellington region with Harcourts Team Group. I don't ask sellers to take my word for things. I show them the evidence, explain the options, and let them decide with a clear picture.
