Price
We'll compare relevant closed sales and current competition, then discuss the differences that matter. An asking price needs a reason behind it.
Broker Blake | Baird & Warner
I'm Blake Galler with Baird & Warner. Before recommending a price or a list of projects, I want to see the property and understand your timing, budget and plans for what comes next.

We'll compare relevant closed sales and current competition, then discuss the differences that matter. An asking price needs a reason behind it.
We'll separate necessary work from optional improvements. The aim is to make the property easy to understand and present it well without spending blindly.
We'll discuss your move, availability for showings and what needs to happen before the property is ready. If you're buying too, that belongs in the plan from the beginning.
We'll agree on the presentation and marketing plan for your home, including photography, listing information and the way the property will be introduced to buyers. I'll explain the proposed services and terms so you know what is included.
Good preparation can be as simple as making rooms easier to use and answering obvious questions about the property. Larger work needs a separate discussion about cost, timing and likely value to a buyer.
We'll compare the terms as well as the headline number: financing, contingencies, timing and other conditions that affect the transaction. I can explain the real estate choices and coordinate with your attorney on contract questions.
Once a contract is in place, we'll keep track of the remaining steps, respond to issues and work toward the agreed closing. No sale price or timeline is guaranteed.
Not automatically. Let's look at the property, competing homes, cost and your timing before deciding what work is worthwhile.
An estimate is a starting point. It may miss condition, layout, improvements and other details that affect how buyers compare your home.
Yes. We'll discuss both transactions early and coordinate the plan with your financing and other circumstances.
