One of our agents will discuss with you what you would like to sell the home for, and show you what other homes are selling for right now. As a team, we will come up with a price together. Our agents are on your side but are removed from the sale emotionally. We want you to make money in the sale but we have a realistic way of looking at things that most who are attached to the home don’t have.
