What selling with Kevin looks like
Seven stages, start to close
Preparing the property
You walk the home together and decide what is worth doing before it goes on the market and what is not.
Small, practical changes usually matter more than big renovations.
Pricing
Kevin reviews recent comparable sales in your Hudson Valley neighborhood alongside your home's condition.
Together you settle on an asking price that reflects the current market, not a wish.
Marketing
Photography, listing copy, and distribution are put together so the home reaches buyers who are actually looking in your area.
Offers
As offers come in, Kevin walks you through each one in plain terms — price, terms, and contingencies.
You decide how to respond; nothing moves forward without your sign-off.
Negotiation
Terms get refined back and forth until both sides are comfortable with the agreement.
Inspections
The buyer's inspection may turn up items to address or negotiate.
Kevin helps you weigh what is reasonable to fix versus what is reasonable to credit or decline.
Closing
Final paperwork, walkthrough, and the transfer of keys. Kevin stays in touch through the last signature.
Getting ready to list
Preparing and pricing your home
Getting the property ready
Not every repair is worth doing before you sell. Kevin walks the house with you and points out which fixes tend to matter to buyers and which ones you can skip.
Decluttering and clearing personal items usually makes the biggest visible difference for the least effort. Older Hudson Valley homes often photograph best when natural light, original woodwork, and outdoor views are left to stand on their own rather than over-staged.
Timing matters too. Foliage season and the quality of winter light both affect how a home presents in photos, so it's worth talking through when to list.
How pricing gets decided
- Starts with recent comparable sales nearby, not a number you'd like to see
- Factors in your home's condition and any work completed before listing
- An asking price set too high tends to cost you time rather than gain you anything
- A listing that sits too long often needs a reset, which buyers notice
- Price gets revisited together as the market responds
Home valuation
Find out what your home is worth
An online estimate is a reasonable starting point, but it can't account for what makes your property different. A real opinion of value comes from Kevin seeing the home in person and comparing it to recent nearby sales.
