How We Help Sellers
Communication
Your needs always come first. We provide the service we agree to, in the ways that work for you, whether once a week, once a day, by phone, email or text message. You'll always be kept in the loop. From listing to closing, you'll know the status of our marketing efforts, the offers on the table and the steps leading to a successful closing once an offer is accepted.
Marketing
Your home will get the exposure it deserves. Our marketing systems maximize your property's visibility to buyers. With 96–100% of buyers using the internet at some point in their home search, we leverage the latest digital strategies to capture attention and get your home under contract.
Satisfaction
We'll guarantee your satisfaction. Our relationship is dependent on meeting and exceeding your expectations. With updates as frequently as you want them you won't miss a thing.
Social Media Marketing
Today’s buyers live online and on social media. We amplify your property’s reach with targeted Facebook & Instagram campaigns, short-form video, and remarketing to keep your listing top-of-mind where buyers spend their time.
Your Sale, Step-by-Step
1) Strategy & Pricing
We analyze recent sales, active competition, days-on-market, and absorption by price. Waterfront and second-home seasonality is factored into timing and pricing. With a understanding of both the big picture and the very latest local and neighborhood listing and sales data, the information you need has never been so accessible.
2) Prep & Staging
Adding cost-effective amenities and improving the general cleanliness and condition of the home is called staging.
Exterior
- Keep the grass freshly cut.
- Remove all yard clutter.
- Weed and apply fresh mulch to garden beds.
- Clean windows inside and out.
Interior
- Remove excessive wall hangings, furniture and misc items (consider a temporary storage unit).
- Clean and organize cabinets and closets.
- Repair all plumbing leaks, including faucets and drain traps.
- Clean all light fixtures.
For Showings
- Turn on all the lights.
- Open drapes in the daytime.
- Keep pets secured outdoors.
3) Launch & Marketing
Our marketing plan is designed to capture the maximum exposure for your home in the shortest period of time.
- Price your home strategically so you're competitive with the current market and price trends.
- Place "for sale" signage, easily visible to drive-by prospects.
- Optimize your home's Internet presence by posting information in the NEREN MLS system including plenty of photographs and a description of your property.
- Produce a video/photo tour of your home, placing it on multiple Websites and Social Medial platforms to attract both local and out-of-town buyers.
- Create listing package & fliers to place inside your property.
- Target our marketing to active real estate agents who specialize in selling homes in your neighborhood.
- Advertise your home on our website with 10,000 monthly visitors, utilize email campaigns and the latest social media strategies.
- Create an open house schedule to promote your property to prospective buyers and market those open houses.
- Target active buyers and investors in our database who are looking for homes in your price range and area.
- Provide you with frequent updates detailing our marketing efforts, including comments from the prospective buyers and agents who have visited your home.
4) Feedback & Adjustments
Weekly performance updates help us decide if we tweak price, terms, or presentation. 10 Days or 10 Showings with no offers typically means a price adjustment should be made.
5) Offers & Negotiation
We structure price, terms, timelines, and risk around your goals. We navigate repairs, concessions, and appraisal strategy.
6) Closing
Typical contract-to-close is 30–45 days, depending on title, financing, appraisal, and repairs. We coordinate documents and timelines all the way to recording.

FAQ — Selling in NH
Typical seller costs?
State transfer tax, title/recording, prorations, and commission. We’ll prepare a custom net sheet so you know your bottom line.
Do I fix everything on inspection?
No. We’ll weigh buyer leverage, loan type, and your goals to decide what to repair, credit, or decline.
Waterfront specifics?
Confirm dock/mooring permits, septic capacity, and DES shoreland rules—these can impact timing, disclosures, and price.
How long to close?
Often 30–45 days contract-to-close; title issues, repairs, or appraisal gaps can extend timelines.
When is the best time to list?
Spring/summer bring more buyers; winter often means less competition and serious demand. We advise based on your micro-market and property type.
What if appraisal comes in low?
We use comps, terms, and timing to negotiate appraisal gaps—price changes, buyer cash contributions, or reconsideration requests where appropriate.
Can I sell while buying another home?
Yes. We sync timelines, negotiate use-and-occupancy, and work with lenders to make the transition smooth.
What do I have to disclose?
Known material defects must be disclosed. Waterfront, septic, well, or lead-based paint issues carry specific requirements.
How do showings work?
We pre-qualify, schedule blocks for efficiency, and gather actionable feedback. We can tailor privacy settings for occupied or rental properties.
Cash vs. financed offers?
Cash can shorten timelines and reduce risk; financed offers may bring higher price but add appraisal/financing contingencies. We compare net and risk, not just price.
What if a buyer backs out?
We enforce contract terms, evaluate earnest money disposition, and quickly re-activate marketing to maintain momentum.
Any special rules for waterfront/STRs?
Shoreland rules, dock/mooring permits, and town STR ordinances can affect value and timing. We help verify what applies to your property.
