Selling your home with me is a full listing service: professional photography, an MLS listing syndicated to Zillow and Realtor.com, a pricing strategy built from live Stamford market data, open houses, and negotiation through closing. There are no upfront fees — commission is negotiable and agreed in writing before your home goes live. Step one is a free CMA of your home.
What's included when you list with me
- Professional photography. Your home's first showing happens on a phone screen. Pro photos are standard on every listing, not an upsell.
- MLS listing + full syndication. Your home goes on the MLS and syndicates out to Zillow, Realtor.com, and the portals buyers actually use — maximum exposure from day one.
- Pricing from live market data. A free CMA of your home plus live MLS data, refreshed every 3 hours, so your price is set against this week's competition — not a stale report.
- Open houses and showings. Scheduled around your life, with feedback relayed to you after every one.
- Negotiation. Offer review side by side, counteroffer strategy, inspection negotiations, and terms — I represent your interests through the entire back-and-forth.
- Coordination to closing. Deadlines, attorney handoff, and paperwork tracked so nothing stalls your deal. Connecticut sellers also have disclosure requirements — I make sure yours are handled correctly.
Pricing your home: live data, not guesswork
Most pricing mistakes come from stale information — a report pulled last month, or a Zestimate that's never seen your kitchen. My site tracks the Stamford market from a live MLS feed that refreshes every 3 hours. Right now there are 1,699 active listings in Stamford, and the median asking price for homes for sale is $1.1M. That's the market your home will compete in the week it lists — and it's the data your price gets built from.
The starting point is a free CMA (comparative market analysis): recent sales of homes like yours, in your part of Stamford, adjusted for condition and features. Want a read on your number before committing to anything? Get your free home valuation here — no obligation attached.
How I do it differently
Two things, honestly. First, the live data: because my market feed re-bakes every 3 hours, I'm reading current inventory and asking prices when we set your strategy — not quoting a quarterly PDF. Second, straight answers: if your target price is above what the data supports, I'll tell you before it costs you weeks on market. If a cheap fix will earn back multiples at sale, I'll tell you that too. You get the numbers and the reasoning, and you make the calls.
Timing questions come up in almost every listing conversation — here's how the seasons actually affect selling in Stamford, and if speed is the priority, here's what actually sells a house fast.
FAQ
How much does it cost to sell my home with you?
There are no upfront fees — you pay nothing to list. Commission is negotiable and agreed in writing in the listing agreement before your home goes live, and it's paid at closing. Separately, Connecticut sellers typically pay state and local conveyance taxes and attorney fees at closing — here's the full breakdown of selling costs. I walk you through every line so there are no surprises.
How do you decide the asking price for my home?
It starts with a free CMA — a comparative market analysis of recent sales of homes like yours in your part of Stamford. I combine that with live MLS data my site refreshes every 3 hours, so the price reflects what's actually on the market against you this week, not last quarter. You get a recommended range and the reasoning behind it; the final call is always yours.
How long will it take to sell my house in Stamford?
It depends on pricing, condition, and the season — a well-priced, well-presented home generally moves faster than one that's overpriced or under-marketed. I don't promise a number of days; I show you what comparable homes are doing and we price to your timeline. More on that here: how long it takes to sell in Stamford.
