How I sell
1/4Step 1 · Stage
Every room gets a job.
Furniture, light and layout set so buyers can picture living there. The rooms that sell the house get the most attention.
2/4Step 2 · Photograph
Win the first scroll.
Most buyers decide whether to visit from their phone. Your listing goes live with professional photography.
3/4Step 3 · Open house
Fill the room.
Launch weekends put many buyers in the house at once. Competition in the room turns interest into offers above list.
4/4Step 4 · Negotiate
Keep more at closing.
Price is only part of it. Terms, contingencies, repair requests and timing decide what you actually keep.
stephaniepopham The four steps behind every listing. The goal is simple: more buyers, better offers, above asking.

Glenbrooke active-adult community, listed at $620,100. Closed at $600,000.
stephaniepopham Good homes draw several offers. My buyers get a search that fits their life, offers written to compete, and someone to read the inspection with them.
Rural homes run on their own systems. Well flow and water quality tests and a septic inspection belong in every contract, and sellers do well to have them done before listing.
3/4Zoning & use
Know what the land allows.
Agricultural-residential zoning decides what can live and grow there: horses, livestock, a second dwelling, a barn or a farm stand.
4/4Pricing acreage
Compare like with like.
Land, outbuildings, fencing, arenas and water don't show up in a tract-home comparison. Pricing country property takes the right comps.
stephaniepopham Acreage, animals, orchards or just quiet. Buying and selling out here is different, and I live in the area.
