FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When you list your home with me, there are no upfront costs for staging or preparation services—I only get paid when your home sells. We’ll sign a standard listing agreement where we agree in advance on the commission percentage, which is typically paid at closing. That means my success is directly tied to yours—I’m fully invested in getting your home sold quickly and at the best possible price.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is designed to make selling your home simple, strategic, and stress-free: 1. Initial Consultation: We meet (in person or virtually) to discuss your goals, timeline, and property details. 2. Listing Agreement: Once you’re ready, we sign a listing agreement and determine your commission structure. 3. Maven Market Makeover Begins: I coordinate a full-service preparation plan—this includes staging, a deep interior clean, front yard refresh, and exterior window cleaning—at no cost to you. 4. Marketing & Launch: Your home is professionally photographed and listed with a compelling marketing strategy to attract the right buyers. 5. Showings & Offers: I handle all buyer inquiries and guide you through negotiations to get the best offer. 6. Closing Support: From contract to closing day, I’m by your side making sure every step runs smoothly. You’re never left wondering what’s next—I’m there every step of the way.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked for many retail companies over my 20 year career doing store layout and design. I also have been a stager since 2007, starting in my home town of Sonoma CA. I am a RESA CSA stager.
