What we do for sellers
We manage every stage of a home sale with clear milestones and written communication. That includes a market review, pricing recommendation, marketing plan, showings coordination, contract negotiation, inspections and repair coordination, and closing support. Our priority is to preserve value and remove friction so sellers can move forward with confidence.
Local market knowledge and pricing
Price is the single most important factor that determines how quickly a property will sell and at what net proceeds. Our team compiles current active, pending, and closed sales, and compares properties on square footage, lot size, condition, and recent improvements. We present a concise pricing range with supporting data so you understand the trade-offs between time on market and achievable sale price.
Marketing that produces qualified buyers
We prepare a marketing plan that targets likely buyer groups for your property. That typically includes professional photography, floor plans, and factual property descriptions distributed through the local MLS and direct outreach to our buyer network. For select properties we recommend staged photography and targeted online campaigns to reach buyers who intend to purchase in Galveston.
Showings and open house coordination
We manage scheduling to limit interruptions to your day while ensuring broad access for qualified buyers and agents. Each showing is recorded and followed up with candid feedback so pricing or presentation adjustments can be made quickly if needed.
Negotiation and contract management
Offers are evaluated against several criteria: price, financing, inspection terms, proposed closing date, and contingencies. We provide an objective recommendation and handle all communications with buyer representatives so your interests are protected. During the negotiation we keep you informed with written summaries of key terms and any possible outcomes.
Inspection, repairs, and closing logistics
Inspections can surface issues that affect value. We coordinate with inspectors and contractors, present repair options, and negotiate reasonable terms with buyers. When the closing approaches we review settlement statements, confirm what you will need to bring to the closing, and assist with any last-minute details to prevent delays.
Fees and transparent billing
Commission structure and closing costs are explained in plain language before listing. We provide an estimated net proceeds worksheet so you have a realistic expectation of funds at closing. Any third-party fees, such as staging or repair costs, are presented for approval before work proceeds.
Common seller questions
- How long will the property be on market? That depends on price, condition, and market demand. We provide a realistic timeline after the market review.
- Should I make repairs before listing? We prioritize repairs that yield a reasonable return on investment. Cosmetic refreshes often improve buyer response more than extensive renovations.
- What happens if the appraisal is low? We outline options including renegotiation, supplemental appraisal data, or buyer financing solutions when possible.
Next steps
- Schedule a meeting for a property review and valuation.
- Approve the written listing plan and pricing recommendation.
- Authorize photography and marketing materials.
- Accept an offer and proceed to closing.

Why professional representation matters
Choosing experienced representation minimizes the surprises that can arise during a sale. You receive a documented plan, timelines, and a single point of contact for all buyer communications. This reduces delays and avoids unnecessary concessions that can erode net proceeds. We document every major decision and provide written summaries so you have a clear record from listing to closing.
Client responsibilities
Sellers should ensure clear title, disclose known property conditions, and provide access for showings. Open communication about timelines and priorities helps the team represent you effectively.
What to expect on closing day
We confirm that documents are ready for signature, funds have been routed correctly, and keys will be released according to the closing instructions. If any unexpected administrative issue arises, we coordinate with the title company to resolve it promptly.
Sample checklist (seller)
- Confirm utilities and final meter readings as needed.
- Gather manuals, warranties, and service records for appliances.
- Provide spare keys and gate codes to the title company as instructed.
- Clear personal items where staging is required.
Client testimonials and results
Clients regularly note timely communication and an orderly process. Where price negotiations were required, we documented options and delivered clear comparisons so sellers could make informed decisions. The majority of our engagements result in a sale at or near the recommended price range when sellers follow the agreed presentation and pricing plan.
