A good sale comes down to three things: the right price, great marketing, and staying on top of every detail until closing. Here is how a Treasure Coast home sale works from first conversation to closing day. ## Step 1: Price it with real data We price your home using recent sales in your neighborhood, current competition and what buyers are actually paying, not just an online estimate. You'll see exactly how we got to the number. ## Step 2: Prepare the home We walk through the home with you and point out the simple fixes and updates that matter most to buyers here. Having your roof age, any wind mitigation report and your HOA documents ready helps buyers move faster, because their insurer and lender will ask for them. ## Step 3: Market it so it gets seen Professional photography, video, a full listing on the MLS, and promotion across our social media and local network. ## Step 4: Showings and updates You'll hear from us regularly with showing feedback, activity on your listing and what we're seeing in the market, so you're never left wondering. ## Step 5: Review offers and negotiate We walk you through each offer line by line: price, deposit, financing, inspection period and closing date. The highest price isn't always the strongest offer, and we'll explain why. ## Step 6: Contract to closing We track every deadline, coordinate with the buyer's agent, lender and title company, and help you handle inspection and appraisal requests so there are no surprises on closing day. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do you decide on a list price?
