Disclaimer:Selling your house is hard work.
This is not about you. It’s about your house. And your buyers.
Some houses sell themselves. Most don’t.Most need a little something.
Whether it’s a small tweak or a full blown make over, using your things or mine,
I do whatever is necessary to sell your house…FAST.I take one house at a time and make it the best it can be.
That’s why my average house sells in 3 days or less, with multiple offers and for over asking price!
Sometimes it takes a bit longer but on average it doesn’t.It’s all in a day’s work for me. It’s what I do.
