Most agents will list your house, put it online, and leave the hardest part to you.
The sale is the easy part. It always was. What is hard is everything in the house, the trades that have to be booked and supervised, and the timing between the home you are leaving and the one you are going to. That work is real, it takes weeks, and handing it back to a homeowner in their seventies has never sat right with me.
Where the money goes
Every agent spends their commission on something. Most spend it on advertising themselves: billboards, bus benches, magazine spreads, the photograph on the back of a notepad. That money is spent to win the next client, not to serve the one in front of them.
I spend mine on your move instead. Packing, moving day, unpacking at the new home, upkeep of the house until it sells, cleaning and light repairs, staging and professional photography. These come out of my commission and are not billed on top of it.
This is not generosity and I would rather not dress it up as generosity. It is where I think the money does the most good, and a house that is prepared properly tends to sell better anyway. The work pays for itself.
What qualifies a move
Because the services are paid from my commission on both sides of the transaction, the combined value of your sale and your purchase has to support them. That is the whole test, and it is arithmetic rather than judgement.
I tell you exactly what applies to your move at the first consultation, in writing, before you commit to anything. If your move does not support the full service, I will tell you that too, and I will tell you at the start rather than halfway through.
Thinking about a move?
A phone call and a short visit at your home, with no obligation. I will tell you exactly what applies to your move before you commit to anything.
