2. About Me
Advisor, Former Ad-Man, Dad
I spent over a decade as a writer at some of the top
advertising agencies in the world before deciding to pursue
a passion in real estate. Now, I leverage that accumulated
knowledge as I assist homebuyers and sellers through
every step of their experience — from first contact to
negotiations to closing and beyond.
When it comes to buying or investing, no other agent has
the passion or excitement for real estate to help guide a
seamless transition into your first home, your dream home,
or your forever home.
Beyond real estate, I'm husband to Katie, dad to Corinna (3)
and dog-dad to long-haired dachshund, Ira (10). I also love
to cook and explore new flavors in the kitchen — even curing
meats and making my own charcuterie in my home-built
curing chamber.
3. No two agents are the same. And no other
agent has my background and skills in image
and brand consulting.
Working with me brings that differentiated
wealth of knowledge and experience to your
buying or selling journey.
With me as your agent, you benefit from
unparalleled focus that will make you feel as if
you are my only client, whether you are buying
your first home, dream home, or forever home.
It's a dedication I bring to every client.

11. Deep Cleaning
As mentioned, this is the most important step. Make sure everything sparkles, from the hardwood floors and crystal-clear windows to the kitchen
countertops and toilets.
Don’t forget the smaller details, either, such as taking out all the trash, doing a final dusting of the fireplace mantle and making sure all toiletries
are tucked away in the medicine cabinet.
Remove Clutter
It can be difficult to set up your home like you’re a professional home stager, especially if you have pets and/or young children. But removing
clutter is an absolute necessity before showings.
Fluff your throw pillows, fold and store all blankets and make sure all shoes are stored neatly in the closet. Speaking of closets …
Don’t Forget About Closets
It can be tempting to simply throw everything into a closet the night or an hour before a showing. Doing so certainly declutters the home, but
don’t think for a second prospective buyers will simply walk by closets without opening them. The amount of storage space a home offers can be
a pivotal selling point for buyers, so they’ll definitely open them to see where they can store their shoes, winter clothes and sporting equipment.
Plus, many people are simply nosy or curious!
Remove Odors
Be smart about what you cook the night before or morning of a showing. That broccoli is certainly good for you and the bacon tasty, but the
lingering smell might turn off others. The same goes for candles or air fresheners. Smells are just like tastes in that everyone’s is different, so try
to be as neutral as possible and think ahead so you’re not scrambling to cover up a smell at the last minute.
Remove Yourself (and Your Family)
Obviously, you won’t physically be present for the showing. Neither should any of your personal items. You want prospective buyers to picture
themselves calling this house theirs, so remove all family photos and other items such as children’s artwork or report cards.
Preparing the Space
12. Highlight Key Areas
Kitchens are traditionally a big selling point, so make sure yours is spick and span. Put away all pots and pans, fold (clean) towels and scrub extra
hard to remove all stains from the sink and grease from the oven.
Make sure the countertops are clean enough to eat on and, if you have an island, do the same. Bathrooms are also important and, like kitchens, often
areas where cleaning can be the most difficult. It’s also easy for them to quickly become dirty and undesirable, so make sure the sink, toilet and
shower/bath are free of grime and sparkle.
Open It Up
Open concepts are becoming more and more popular. Outside of major renovations, however, there isn’t much you can do if your home wasn’t built
that way. You can, however, make it easier for prospective buyers and agents to walk through by rearranging the furniture to make the room more
inviting and removing bigger pieces of furniture. Also think about removing other large items that hinder sight lines and might make the space appear
smaller than it is.
Don’t Forget About Outside
Don’t overlook the importance of curb appeal. First impressions are key, and the first thing prospective buyers see when pulling up to the house.
Make sure the lawn and landscaping are well manicured and any loose sticks are picked up. Consider adding potted flowers for an extra boost and
make sure the driveway and any walking paths are clean and clear of debris.
Step Into Their Shoes
This might be difficult, but try walking through the home as if you’re the prospective buyer. What looks good? Bad? Does anything negative catch your
eye or seem out of place? You won’t catch everything but, chances are, if something doesn’t look right to you it definitely won’t look right to others.
Keep it Clean!
Hey, life happens and not all of us are Mr. Clean. But try to keep your home as show ready as possible so you’re always prepared for any unexpected
showings. After all, the more showings your home receives, the more likely it will get sold!
Cont'd
13. Scheduling showings
When a showing is requested, you’ll receive a text, phone call or email, based on your preference. Once you conrm the appointment, I’ll
communicate any special instructions to the interested agent.
Property access
Interested agents will access your property via a secure lockbox.
Timing
Showings typically take one hour.
Agent previews
An agent may view your property alone to ensure it is a match for their clients. They’ll work through me to schedule a follow-up appointment to bring
in buyers.
Unexpected visits
If someone asks to view your property without an appointment, tell them to call the number on the “for sale” sign or give them my information. Even
those who identify themselves as Realtors should coordinate appointments through me. Open houses are an exception!
Cancellations
I will notify you as soon as possible if an appointment is canceled or rescheduled.
What to Expect
14. The
Path to
Closing
I will present you with a purchase agreement (the offer!) from an interested buyer (or
buyers!). This is a written legal document that, if accepted by you, binds the sale and
begins the closing process. The offer will contain:
The price the buyer is willing to pay
The date for desired possession of your home
The buyer’s financing option
A detailed list of what is included in the sale (or an ask for items to be a part of the sale,
like your washer and dryer)
PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Now is the time for you to respond to the purchase agreement. Do you accept?
Reject? Want to submit a counter offer? We’ll work together through this
process as there are many factors to consider.
NEGOTIATIONS
Oftentimes an offer is subject to a home inspection, meaning the buyer isn’t
formally committed to a home until an inspection is completed and the results
are reviewed. The inspection is designed to make sure it meets the minimum
health and safety standards so both buyers and sellers have a clear
understanding of the condition of the home.
INSPECTIONS
Appraisals are detailed reports compiled by licensed appraisers and is the only
valuation report a lender considers when deciding whether to lend the money. An
appraisal provides the lender with an assurance that the property will sell for at
least the amount of money it is lending.

Did you know?
Realtors are paid only for results – when they successfully close a property transaction.
Edina Realty Realtors are compensated the same whether a buyer purchases a home listed by
Edina Realty or another broker.
Realtors have ongoing out-of-pocket expenses similar to those of any small business.
21. Pricing Your
Property to Sell
I understand you want to get top dollar for your property.
I’ll work with you to find the ideal price point that values your home at what it’s
worth (what the market is willing to pay for it), while still being competitive
with other homes in your market.
Other things to keep in mind that may affect pricing are your preferred timeline
and motivation along with the pricing appraisal.
It’s also tempting to want to start with an inflated price, thinking you can
reduce it later if no offers come in. Overpriced homes, even as little as 5 or
10%, stay on the market longer.
Let’s work together to price your home right from the beginning. Home buyers
have more tools at their fingertips than ever before, so if they think your home
is overpriced, they’ll quickly move on to other properties priced closer to fair
market value without another thought.
Priced too high
Fewer potential buyers
Longer time on the market
Requires price reductions to sell
Priced too low
Substantially more potential buyers
Better chance for a quick sale
Possibility for multiple and more attractive offers (fewer contingencies)
