Selling with strategy.

Selling a home is a big decision, and it deserves more than a listing and a hope. I take the time to understand your home and your goals, then build a plan designed to get you the best result.

The process

Seven stages, one plan.

Every sale follows the same path. What makes the difference is the plan behind each stage.

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.

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

"Good results come from good decisions, made at the right time."

I've lived in Whitby for about twenty years, and I sell homes across the greater Wellington region with Harcourts. 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.
