Plan for 60-90 minutes. Dawn will tour your home, discuss your goals, review market data, and create an action plan. It's thorough but efficient. ### Do I need to clean before the appointment? A light tidy-up is helpful so Dawn can see your home at its natural best, but don't stress about deep cleaning. She is evaluating potential, not judging housekeeping. ### Should all decision-makers be present? Yes! Having all owners present ensures everyone hears the same information and can ask questions. It streamlines decision-making. ### What if I'm not ready to list immediately? That's perfectly fine. Many sellers meet with Dawn months before listing to create a preparation timeline that works with their schedule. ### Will you tell me honestly if my expectations are unrealistic? Absolutely. Dawn's job is to give you accurate information, even when it's not what you want to hear. Honesty upfront prevents disappointment later. ## Pro Tips for a Productive Appointment ### Walk through your home beforehand Note any issues you're aware of and features you want to highlight. This helps our discussion. ### Be honest about condition Dawn will discover issues eventually. Knowing upfront helps her price accurately and advise on repairs. ### Share your must-have timeline Whether you need to sell quickly or have flexibility, this affects the selling strategy. ### Ask about the marketing plan You should understand exactly how Dawn will promote your home and why. ### Discuss your next steps Are you buying another home? Relocating? This affects timing and strategy. ### Take notes We'll cover a lot. Notes help you remember details when making decisions. ## Ready to Get Started? Schedule your listing appointment and take the first step toward selling your home.
