My Services
Property Walk-Through
Together we walk your property so you can tell me about your home. You tell me what is special about your home and what you want highlighted. We will chat about what should be done prior to listing it. This may involve you doing minor repairs, decluttering.
Professional Staging
Effective home staging can alter a property and produce a lasting positive first impression. It helps buyers see your home as their home. Where appropriate, I provide a complimentary staging consultation.
Complete Home Floor plans
Professionally measured floorplans help to confirm accuracy, and they help buyers see the flow of your home, its particular layout, and buyers can visualize how their furniture will fit into the space.
The Very Best Photography, Virtual Tours and Video
I hire professional photographers ; they understand angles and lighting and use this to take beautiful pictures and virtual tours that showcase your home. Sometimes professional photography doesn’t completely highlight all the wonderful features of your home. In these situations, I create a video tour of your property.
HD Aerial Photography
For waterfront, executive homes, unique and penthouse properties I offer aerial drone video to expose the environment your home sits in from a birds-eye view.
Professional Full-Color Feature Sheets or Brochures
Full-color Feature sheets or brochures are created, showcasing the property and relevant property information, so prospective buyers have something to hold and make reference to after showings and open houses.
