The first home I ever sold on my own was a challenge—a property that had sat on the market for over six months. The owner had finally withdrawn it from his previous agent and relocated out of state. As a new agent with just a little over a year of experience, I mustered all the courage I had and reached out to him directly.
I got straight to the point: “I love your house, and I believe I can sell it. But first, I’d like to understand why you think it hasn’t sold yet.” Then, I simply listened. He shared his frustrations about the previous experience, and once he’d finished, he asked me what I would do differently.
First, I explained that we needed to make a few minor repairs to freshen up the house. It was only about a year old, but it needed a little extra polish to feel “new” again. Then, I suggested a price adjustment. I laid out my recommended price and the reasons behind it, carefully explaining how it aligned with current market conditions.
He thought about it and then told me, “I listed with a new agent once before, and no Realtor has ever worked harder.” He agreed to let me list the property on one condition: that I’d keep him regularly updated, and we established how and when he preferred to be contacted.
Once the small repairs were made, we put the house back on the market—this time with me as the listing agent. Within 24 hours, it was under contract, and we closed within 30 days at 98% of our asking price.
There are a lot of Nashville agents who rely on “their” branding to get your home sold.
I think there is a better way, and I am committed to holding myself to that higher standard.
I see each listing as a partnership and a conversation, not just a transaction. For me, putting my sign in the yard is only the beginning of the process. I stay in close contact with my clients and keep them informed at every step. Whether they prefer a Tuesday afternoon text update, a weekly call, or a coffee meeting, I make sure they always know what’s happening.
If you’ve listed a house with an agent before and then, you didn’t hear from that agent for two weeks, that isn’t me.
Every home I list receives a tailored approach, because I believe each property is unique. For example, if you’re selling a $600K house in Bellevue, I’ll make sure it’s everywhere—on Realtor, Zillow, Realtracs MLS, and even on a billboard along I-40. But if you’re selling a completely remodeled, multi-million dollar mid-century modern gem, that’s a different story. A unique property like that deserves a curated, exclusive marketing plan. It won’t be listed like something you could purchase on Amazon; instead, I’ll showcase it in a way that speaks to buyers who appreciate its one-of-a-kind features.
It’s about understanding the property, listening to my clients, and executing a strategy that meets their specific needs. Selling a home is a journey, and I’m with you from the first conversation to closing day, keeping you informed and advocating for you every step of the way.
