This market does not hand anyone a sale. The homes that sell are the ones priced right and presented better than everything they are up against. That is the whole job, and it is mine.
Before a single buyer sees it, the photography, the story, the pricing and the marketing plan are already built. By launch day every hard call has already been made.
Anyone can put a house on the MLS. A launch is one coordinated moment where every channel fires at once, while your listing is brand new and getting the most attention it will ever get. That window does not come back.
Northwest MLS lets eligible sellers market a home for up to 21 days before its official Active launch, with full broker access, optional showings, and you in control of how public it goes. It can build a waiting list before day one. Not every house needs it, and we decide together whether yours does.
Buyers have options and they are comparing yours to all of them, side by side, in the same ten seconds. These are the only two levers that move the outcome.
A price chasing the market from behind loses money every week it sits. We set yours against real comparable sales and real buyer behavior, not hope, and we set it before we launch rather than correcting it after.
Tanya’s take: “The first two weeks are the ones that matter. I would rather price it right and have a decision to make than price it high and have a problem to fix.”
Buyers scroll fast. Your house gets one chance to stop a thumb, and that chance is a photograph. Professional photography and video, real staging guidance, and a listing that looks like a magazine instead of a database entry.
Tanya’s take: “Nobody falls in love with a house in person that they scrolled past online. The photos are not the marketing. The photos are the product.”
Every home I list gets its own page on my site. The full gallery, the floor plans, the 3D tour, the story of the house and the neighborhood, and a way to reach me on every screen. Your house gets a destination instead of a row in a database.
Open a real one and scroll it*Where available. The percentages are Zillow’s own published results, comparing Showcase listings against similar nearby listings that do not have it.
Your own page, and the best placement Zillow sells. Every listing I take gets both.
Here is the plan, day by day, so nothing lands on you at the last minute.
Goals, timing, price range, repairs, staging and showing logistics. Plus a straight answer on whether that renovation is worth doing. Usually the answer is keep your money.
Touch-up paint, deferred maintenance, bulbs, trim, landscaping. We are removing buyer objections, not building a new house.
Seasonal stuff, overflow, extra furniture. You are moving anyway, so Future You gets a head start and the house starts looking bigger.
Deep clean, windows, floors, staging, curb appeal. This is where “lived in” becomes “ready,” and it is the part buyers feel without being able to name it.
Photography, video, pricing, Zillow Showcase, MLS strategy, social, broker outreach and a real launch weekend. Your workload shrinks. Mine explodes.
In this market the best looking home at the best price is the one that sells. I bring the strategy, the marketing and the negotiating. You bring the house at its absolute best. Neither one of us gets it sold alone, so here is the honest version of what that takes.
Some of this costs money. All of it comes back at the offer table, and I will tell you plainly which jobs are worth doing and which ones are not.
How to prep for listing photosTanya’s take: “I have done my half too. When I sold my own home I did not hire a stager. I cleaned, decluttered, moved furniture around and fussed over every single corner myself, with a baby on my hip and the world shutting down around us. Every person who walked through assumed it had been professionally staged. If I could pull that off in that season, you can absolutely do it in yours.”
Negotiation. Inspection. Appraisal. Escrow. Closing. All mine.
After launch I watch what the market tells us, the showings, the feedback, the listings you are competing with, and we adjust. No disappearing-Realtor act. You will always know what is happening.
And then?The highest number on page one is not automatically the best offer. Getting the right offer is strategy.
My job is not just to get you under contract.My job is to get you closed, through inspection, appraisal and everything after.
Thirty eight closings in the portfolio, across Renton, Kent, Maple Valley, Covington and Ravensdale. Starter condos and half-million-dollar family homes and everything either side of that. The strategy changes every time. The standard does not.

Tanya did an amazing job selling our home. When it came time to negotiate, she got the best price for us.
Christian Herzberger · Google reviewShe sold our house, helped us find a new house, and just sold my dad’s house for way more than we listed it.
J Coward · Verified seller reviewOnline estimates have not walked through your house. They do not know about the remodel, the new roof, or what buyers are actually reacting to this month.
Use the tool for a starting point, then bring me every question it creates.
Schedule A Seller ConsultationThat is a great time to talk. The earlier I see the house, the easier it is to make smart decisions, and the more time you have to spread the work out instead of doing all of it in one expensive month.
You can love a home and still be ready for what is next. Tell me your goals and I will tell you honestly what selling would look like, what it would take, and what it is worth.
