Step 2

Client Intake Meeting

Once you decide to move forward with us, this meeting is where the magic starts. We’ll meet at your home to get to know both you and your property, gathering the details we need to market it powerfully.

We’ll walk through:

Your goals and timeline
Property features, history, and updates
Market value, pricing strategy, and selling plan
Recommended pre-listing improvements, if any
Photography, staging, and marketing preparation

We value your time and aim to be efficient while also thorough. To best serve you, we dedicate up to three hours for this step, depending on your property and schedule.

We’ll call to coordinate this appointment directly as these meetings typically occur on-site at your property to be listed for sale. We prefer a minimum of one hour allotted to these meetings to save your valuable time throughout the process overall. Time varies: typically 1 to 2 hours.

Important Disclosures & FAQs

Does scheduling Step 1 mean I'm committing to work with you?

No. Step 1 is simply an opportunity to explore if we’re a good fit. However, laws and regulations requires a few disclosures:

WWREA Disclosure:

We must review the "Working with Real Estate Agents" (WWREA) brochure with you before discussing confidential info. This is not a contract—it’s a disclosure form confirming you understand your rights and options as a seller.

Listing Agreement:

Before we can legally market your home or represent you, a signed listing agreement is required. This ensures transparency, protects your interests, and clarifies the working relationship.

Why hire a listing agent to sell your home?

Statistics consistently show that homes listed with a licensed agent sell faster and for more money. More importantly, a good agent:

Represents your best interests with fiduciary duty
Provides professional advice, negotiation skills, and marketing
Helps reduce stress by handling complex details

Your listing agent must promote your best interests, be loyal, disclose material facts, use reasonable care, and protect your confidentiality.

We bring professionalism, transparency, and heart to your home sale. As a local team, we treat every transaction like it’s our own and value authentic relationships built on trust. We walk with you every step of the way—so you can move forward with peace and confidence.
