Selling your home in Collin County, with a plan
A plan set before your home goes live: pricing you choose, strong photos, and buyer interest built early.
What selling with me looks like
If you're getting ready to sell your home in Collin County, you probably have two worries. Will it sell for what it's worth? And how do you live in it while strangers walk through your kitchen?
I've sold more than 500 homes over 20+ years, and my answer to both is the same: a plan, set before the home goes live. The price strategy, the photos, the timing and the buyer interest are all decided up front, so you aren't waiting and hoping once the sign goes up.
This page covers what that looks like. The full, step-by-step version is on how I sell a home.

How I sell a home
You choose the price strategy. I lay out three plans: test the ceiling, match the market, or test the floor. I tell you which one I'd pick and why, and you decide. Every month the home is on the market, I refresh the market analysis so we're working from what's true now. Details are in how I price.
The home looks its best online. Every listing starts with a staging consultation, then professional photography, drone photos and a listing video made from those photos.
Buyers know it's coming. Before launch, the home goes into Coming Soon status in the MLS, a Coming Soon sign goes in the yard, and the listing video goes out as Coming Soon. Then it gets paid Facebook and Instagram ads targeting the local market around the listing, and syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com and the other major sites.

Selling a home across Collin County
The method is the same everywhere. What changes is who's shopping and what your home competes with. A resale home in a neighborhood surrounded by new construction sells differently than one in a finished community. Start with your town:
- Selling your home in McKinney
- Selling your home in Frisco
- Selling your home in Prosper
- Selling your home in Allen
- Selling your home in Stonebridge Ranch
- Selling your home in Celina
You can also start with what your home is worth. When you're ready, get in touch or call (469) 693-3839. You can also go back to my home page.
