The Promise Listing Process: How We Get Homes Ready, Marketed, and SOLD

Welcome! At The Promise Realty, we pride ourselves on delivering results that consistently exceed expectations. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why our proven, step-by-step process is designed to transform your property, reduce days on market, and maximize your sale price—backed by industry-leading statistics and real success stories from clients just like you.

Step 1: Preparing Your Home for Success

A. Personalized Walkthrough & Consultation

First impressions matter—buyers decide within 7 seconds whether they feel at home. During your complimentary consultation, we walk through your property together to identify opportunities for improvement, from minor repairs to impactful updates.

You’ll receive a customized action plan outlining:

• Repairs to consider
• Staging recommendations
• Timing strategy for market readiness

B. Professional Staging and Photography

Why does staging matter so much? Consider this:

✅ Staged homes sell 72% faster than non-staged homes (RESA).
✅ In early 2025, professionally staged homes sold for an average of 107% of list price, often netting $56,000 over asking.
✅ For every $1 invested in staging, sellers saw an average return of $23.34—a 2,334% ROI.
✅ 83% of buyers’ agents say staging helps buyers visualize the property as their future home.

We focus on the spaces that make the biggest impact:

• Living Room
• Primary Bedroom
• Kitchen

Once staged, our professional photography and videography team steps in to capture stunning visuals—because 95% of buyers start their search online, and high-quality photos dramatically increase showing requests.

C. Pre-Listing Inspections and Touch-Ups

We believe in proactive preparation. By addressing potential inspection issues upfront, you:

• Build buyer confidence
• Avoid costly last-minute negotiations
• Enjoy a smoother closing process

We’ll connect you with trusted contractors and handymen to handle repairs efficiently and professionally.

Step 2: Pricing Strategically

Correct pricing is critical. Overpricing risks stagnation and price cuts, while strategic pricing attracts multiple buyers quickly.

Our approach includes:

• A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) leveraging local sales data
• Insight into buyer demand trends
• Transparent pricing discussions so you can make confident decisions

Homes priced right from day one sell faster and for more—period.

Step 3: Professional Marketing That Works

A. High-Impact Visuals

Buyers won’t just “see” your listing—they’ll feel inspired to visit. We invest in:

• HDR photography
• Video walkthroughs

In fact, 40% of buyers are more likely to visit a staged home they previewed online.

B. Listing Syndication and Marketing

Your listing appears everywhere buyers are searching:

• MLS
• Zillow
• Realtor.com
• Over 100+ real estate websites for maximum exposure

C. Open Houses and Private Showings

We schedule open houses and private tours with one goal: create urgency and excitement. Strategic timing ensures your property gets the attention it deserves.

Step 4: Managing Offers and Negotiations

A well-prepared home often sparks multiple offers and bidding wars. Recent examples show our listings frequently selling 5–10% over asking price.

We guide you through:

• Clear, easy-to-understand net sheets comparing offers
• Expert negotiation to protect your equity, timing, and peace of mind

Step 5: Closing Smoothly

When it’s time to move forward, our team handles every detail:

✅ Inspection resolution: Issues are resolved swiftly thanks to early preparation
✅ Title and escrow coordination: All paperwork managed professionally
✅ Final walkthroughs and moving resources: So you can focus on your next chapter
