INVESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS
presentation matters.
Preparing a home properly and professionally — and marketing it to as many buyers as possible, in its best light — is the difference between an average result and the SOUND way. Professional cleaning, staging, and photography can have a real impact on how quickly a home sells and for how much. That's why preparing your home for market is a core part of how we work — not an afterthought. Every listing is different, and we take the time to talk through exactly what makes sense for your home. Here's how we approach each piece:
Cleaning
A freshly cleaned home makes a strong first impression — on buyers, in photos, and at showings. We discuss cleaning as part of your pre-market preparation and work to make sure your home is show-ready from day one.
staging
Depending on the home, staging can make an enormous difference in both how quickly it sells, and for how much. We have multiple stagers we use and are happy to discuss the potential benefits to you, our seller.
Photography
Professional photography is something we provide on every listing. Our photographer captures your home with precision lighting to present it at its best — realistically and compellingly. We also include 3D imaging, and where your home would benefit, drone photos and video as well.
“We had the pleasure of working with Dave as our real estate agent for the purchase of our home. His expertise, diligence, and patience throughout the entire process was incredibly helpful. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions with ease. He was always very responsive, answering emails and phone calls promptly. He also provided great advice and was willing to go the extra mile to help ensure that everything went smoothly. He was very personable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and reliable real estate agent.”

Preparing the home
Getting your home market-ready is a process, and it starts with a real conversation. Based on your home, your timeline, and your goals, we'll walk through what preparation makes sense — from cleaning and staging to any touch-ups or improvements worth making before you go live.
Staging, in particular, is something we approach seriously. A professionally staged home can help buyers visualize the space, create stronger listing photos, and consistently produce faster sales at higher prices. We'll discuss staging as part of our listing strategy and make sure you understand what we're recommending and why.
Our goal is always to net you the most money possible — and how we prepare your home is one of the most direct ways we influence that outcome.

“We have been working with Sound Team Realty for several months in the craziest housing market of all time! We've had to make a number of offers, due to the high involvement of investor-buyers who but with cash, and to date we've had no success. Rather, with each offer, STR has helped us to become more aware, informed, and smarter about each offer we've tendered. They have been there for us 100% - finding new options, encouraging us when we wanted to give up, offering exceptional expertise and professionalism without fail. Their responses are always timely, supportive, and informative. Having been in the housing market ourselves for twenty years, we have still learned a great deal through this process, thanks to them, and we are pressing ahead to secure a home we love! My husband and I find it an honor to recommend Sound Team Realty for your Real Estate needs. You will not be disappointed but rather, enriched and rewarded.”

Staged homes sell for more!
Staging a home is an art. Based on anticipated buyer demographics, we work with our professional stagers to achieve the ideal aesthetic to attract buyers and maximize the home’s final sale price. Professional staging is a proven industry tool with study after study showing that staged homes sell faster than non-staged, and at a higher sale price.
I have worked with this AMAZING team of real estate agents for several years and I can't say enough good things about them - they are all so kind, so caring to their clients and their knowledge of the real estate industry is second to none. They work closely with their clients to make sure that the house is a perfect match while making the buying and selling process both easy to understand and protecting their clients from a lot of the stress that home buying and selling can create. Can't recommend them enough! You guys are AWESOME!

Setting the price
MAKING SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR HOME IS WORTH
The goal when setting a price for your home is to end up getting you every possible penny in today’s market. We start by walking through your home to understand layout, finishes and condition. We then look at any comparable properties in the area, which involves much more than counting beds, baths, and square footage. From there we explain the different market-specific strategies being used, give you the strengths and weaknesses of each, and make a collective determination on the best approach to take.
Home valuation
Automated, algorithm-based value estimates are notoriously limited. We tour your home together to understand its strengths and how they compare to homes nearby.
Recent sales
We research similar homes that have sold in your area and explain how your home compares with regards to layout, finishes, square footage, garage space, yard, etc
the breakdown
We then take all the information and deliver a detailed, customized valuation. If you are thinking of selling your home, this is the best way to get a feel for what’s real in your market.
NEGOTIATING FOR YOU
MANAGING THE DETAILS
We review offers and suggest which are the best for you to consider based on the dollars, terms, and small print. We routinely go back to the best offers and do all we can to get them to further distinguish theirs via increased offer price, more favorable terms, etc. Once we’ve reach mutual agreement with a buyer, after any counters that may go back and forth, furthering our aim to net you the most money possible, Shannon manages all remaining aspects of the transaction behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and well informed closing experience for you.
Are you considering your next move?
We’d love to work with you!
