Sellers · The Process
The Selling Process.
Nine defined steps. No surprises. Whether you're selling in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, or anywhere across Orange County, this is exactly how the process works from first conversation to closing day.
How we sell
A great listing is a sequence, not a single act.
Whether we're selling a bayfront property in Newport Beach, an estate in Newport Coast, or a family home in south OC, every step below is built to eliminate the most common friction points in a home sale. You'll know exactly where we are and what comes next before it arrives.
- 01
Home Preparation
We start before the photographer shows up. Decluttering, cleaning, targeted repairs, updates where they'll actually return value, staging, and disclosure preparation. A home that's prepped properly sells faster and survives inspection without renegotiation.
Prep work, done before the first photograph. - 02
Pricing Strategy
A written Comparative Market Analysis built from real sold data in your specific sub-market. Newport Beach, Newport Coast, and every other OC market have different comp sets, and your pricing strategy is built around your specific neighborhood, not a broad average.
A number on paper, with every comp behind it. - 03
Marketing Your Home
Professional photography, videography, a Coming Soon campaign, Zillow Showcase placement, full portal syndication, social media posts across four platforms, targeted email to the eHomes high-net-worth database, and open houses. The same plan on every listing, not scaled back based on price point.
A distribution system, not a brag sheet. - 04
Showing Your Home
Showings scheduled and managed with easy access for buyers, curb appeal maintained throughout the active period, and showing feedback collected and reported back to you. Every showing is an opportunity and we treat it that way.
Prepared, then opened to the market. - 05
The Offer Process
Offers reviewed line by line: price, terms, contingencies, possession date, and everything in between. A clean offer with a strong buyer often beats a higher number with risk attached to it.
Terms, not just price, read line by line. - 06
Escrow Process
Escrow opened immediately upon acceptance. Inspections scheduled and attended. Appraisal coordinated. Any post-inspection repair negotiations handled. Title and escrow kept in lockstep all the way to recording.
Behind the scenes: inspections, appraisal, coordination. - 07
Disclosure Requirements
California requires detailed disclosures: TDS, SPQ, NHD, and more. Newport Beach and Newport Coast properties often have additional considerations given coastal zone regulations and HOA documentation requirements. These are completed thoroughly and delivered on time.
Paperwork that protects you long after the sale. - 08
Contingency Removal
Inspection, appraisal, and loan contingencies removed in sequence, each confirmed in writing. Once the loan is Clear to Close, we're on a clean path to recording.
Each contingency cleared, one by one. - 09
Close & Post-Sale Support
Keys change hands, funds are wired, and the property records. We don't disappear at closing. Relocation referrals, vendor recommendations, and any post-close questions are part of the service.
Clear to close, and the rest is yours.
