The Seller’s Journey

Selling Tina Curtis April 30, 2025

Listing your home isn’t just about sticking a sign in the yard—it’s a series of strategic steps that can elevate your outcome (and your peace of mind).

Are you or have you ever asked yourself: 

  • What really happens before, during, and after you list?
  • Why do staging, pricing, and marketing need to be done?
  • How do get the market visibility to maximize offers?

Want the short answer? Hire me, Tina.  I hope that made you chuckle a little.  In all seriousness, you are in the right place! I'm here to pull back the curtain and give you insights to being a successful seller!

What Really Happens Before, During, and After You List

Selling a home is more than a transaction—it’s a carefully choreographed experience. When you work with me, you're not just listing your property; you’re positioning it to perform.

Here’s what you can expect throughout the journey:

Before You List

  • Consultation & Goal Setting: We begin by identifying your priorities—whether it’s top dollar, a fast close, or a stress-free transition.

  • Home Prep & Walkthrough: I provide a customized prep list to highlight your home’s strengths and eliminate distractions. This may include decluttering, light updates, and staging recommendations.

  • Professional Photography & Storytelling: We schedule magazine-worthy photos and craft compelling listing copy that creates connection and desire.

During Your Listing

  • Strategic Launch: Your property is introduced with intentional timing and marketing. We never “just list”—we launch.

  • Targeted Exposure: Through syndication, social campaigns, agent networks, and email marketing, your home is seen by the right buyers—not just any buyer.

  • Feedback Loops: I gather showing feedback in real time and keep you informed with market responses and adjustments.

Receive the Offer(s)

  • Negotiation with Strategy: I present every offer with analysis and recommendations that align with your goals—not just price, but terms, timeline, and contingencies.

  • Transaction Management: Once under contract, I handle the details—inspections, appraisals, title, and timelines—so you stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Closing & Next Steps: I ensure a seamless transition, whether you're moving locally, investing elsewhere, or designing your next chapter.

🛋️ Why Staging, Pricing, and Marketing Need to Be Done?

Think of these three elements like a triangle—if one is off, the whole structure weakens.

  • Staging draws buyers in emotionally. It shows how the home could be, not just how it does now. Clean, spacious, and beautifully styled spaces photograph—and show—better.

  • Pricing positions your home in the market. A great home priced too high lingers, and becomes stale. A well-positioned price creates urgency and sets the stage for strong offers (often with better terms).

  • Marketing builds anticipation and reach. The right exposure brings the right buyers. I don’t just “post and pray”—I'm strategic and build campaigns that speak directly to your home’s target audience.

When these three are done in sync, your home becomes irresistible. 

How I Create Momentum and Visibility to Maximize Offers

I treat every listing like a product launch—with intention, energy, and strategy.

Here’s what I do differently:

🚀 Pre-Market Momentum

🧲 Magnetic Marketing

🎯 Offer Optimization

When you list with me, you get more than a REALTOR®—you get a strategist, marketer, and advocate with an eye for design and the experience to execute.
