SELLER’S GUIDE

A Step-by-Step Guide for Sellers

Selling your home is a big decision, and I am here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're a first-time seller or an experienced homeowner, my streamlined process ensures a smooth and successful sale. As part of a Maui styling company, I will make sure your home looks its absolute best to attract the right buyers and maximize your return. If you are selling from out of state or internationally, I also have specialized strategies to simplify the process for you.

Step 1: Deciding to Sell

Understanding why you are selling helps me create the best strategy for you. Whether you’re relocating, downsizing, upgrading, or selling an investment, I will tailor our approach to align with your goals.

Things to Consider:

  • Your ideal timeline

  • Any repairs or updates your home may need

  • How much equity you have in your property

Step 2: Preparing Your Home for Sale

First impressions matter, and I will work with you to ensure your home is in top condition before it hits the market. I will help you assess any necessary repairs, recommend cost-effective updates, and create a strategy to showcase your home’s best features.

How We Help You Get Ready:

  • Decluttering & Depersonalizing to create a neutral, inviting space for buyers.

  • Identifying Repairs & Updates to enhance your home’s overall appeal.

  • Maximizing Curb Appeal with simple improvements like landscaping and exterior touch-ups.

Pre-Listing Inspection Coordination to prevent surprises during escrow.

For those who want to make an even bigger impact, I am also part of Aloha Styling, a professional styling & staging company. Our staging services can transform your home to highlight its best features, create a welcoming ambiance, and help potential buyers emotionally connect with the space—leading to a faster and more profitable sale.

Step 3: Setting the Right Price

We will analyze market conditions and provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to ensure your home is priced competitively. Our goal is to position your property for maximum exposure while securing the best return.

Step 4: Listing & Marketing Your Home

Once your home is ready, I will launch a strategic marketing campaign to attract the right buyers.

Our Listing Strategy Includes:

  • Professional Photography & Videography to showcase your home.

  • Online & Social Media Marketing for maximum visibility.

  • Targeted Advertising & Networking to reach potential buyers.

  • Showings & Open Houses to generate interest.

Selling from afar doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how I can help:

  • Closing Timeline – Finding a schedule that works for you.

We will negotiate on your behalf to secure the most favorable terms and guide you through counteroffers as needed.

Once we accept an offer, I will manage the escrow process, ensuring everything moves smoothly through closing.

Steps During Escrow:
