MORE THAN REAL ESTATE.

Whether you're downsizing your own home or managing a family property, selling the house is often only one part of the job.

My team and I help with the work that comes before the SOLD sign — from sorting belongings and preparing the property to coordinating repairs, staging, marketing and the sale itself.

A TEAM TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVE.

20 HOURS OF COMPLIMENTARY HANDS-ON ASSISTANCE

Because sometimes the hardest part isn't selling the house. It's getting it ready to sell.

When you list your home with me, up to 20 hours of hands-on assistance are included to help with things such as:

Sorting • Decluttering • Packing • Organizing • Deep Cleaning • Donation Preparation

You don't have to tackle everything alone before calling a REALTOR®.

WHAT HAPPENS TO EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT TAKING?

For many families, figuring out what to do with decades of belongings is more overwhelming than selling the house itself.

We help you work through the options:

KEEP → FAMILY → SELL → DONATE → RECYCLE → DISPOSE

Depending on the situation, we can help arrange the sale of furniture, antiques and household belongings through online marketplaces, antique dealers, collectors, auction services or an organized estate sale.

We can also help coordinate donations, recycling and disposal of items that won't be making the move.

PREPARING THE HOME — WITHOUT OVERDOING IT.

Not every home needs renovating before it goes on the market.

The goal is to identify the improvements that can actually make a difference — and avoid spending money where it isn't likely to matter.

We can help coordinate:

Minor repairs • Painting • Cleaning • Property clean-up • Improvements • Staging • Trades

With more than 25 years of construction experience, Mark helps assess practical repairs and improvements and assists with coordinating the work needed to prepare the property for market.

You don't have to spend weeks searching for different companies and trying to coordinate everyone yourself. When additional expertise is needed, we can connect you with trusted professionals and help keep the preparation moving.

WHEN WE NEED SOMEONE, WE KNOW WHO TO CALL.

MANAGING AN ESTATE PROPERTY?

Selling an estate property can involve a different set of responsibilities — particularly when you're dealing with belongings, property preparation, family members or managing everything from out of town.

We can help simplify the property side of the process.

REAL HOMES. REAL TRANSFORMATIONS. REAL RESULTS.

I worked with Anette and her team to downsize and sell my father’s home. The process was especially challenging because his move to a retirement residence happened unexpectedly and I live more than five hours away. From start to finish, Anette went above and beyond.

Anette and her team expertly managed the downsizing and prepared the home for listing in just a couple of weeks. She communicated clearly throughout and managed countless details that I could not have managed remotely.

Despite a difficult market, the house sold within days and drew two offers above the asking price. After the sale, Anette continued to coordinate the move and manage the logistics between sale and closing, which made the process far less stressful for our family.

Professional, compassionate, organized, and hardworking, Anette made a complicated process much easier. I highly recommend Anette to anyone looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results.  -Paul D.

WHEN A HOME NEEDS A LITTLE MORE

Every property is different. Some homes require additional work or specialized services before they're ready for market.

When appropriate, we can help arrange additional services such as:

Additional packing or organizing
Repairs or renovation work
Specialty cleaning
Professional staging
Storage solutions
Moving services

Any additional costs are discussed with you before work is arranged.

My free Downsizing Resource Library includes practical guides, checklists and planning tools to help you understand your options and start making decisions at your own pace.

Free lifetime access. No pressure. Start wherever you are.

NOT READY TO TALK YET?

You don't have to be ready to sell before you start planning.

In fact, that's exactly what the first conversation is for.

Whether you're considering downsizing, helping a parent move or managing an estate property, we'll talk about what's happening, what needs to be done and what your options are.

No obligation. No pressure. Just a conversation.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT BEFORE YOU CALL.
