Before you list

What I tell every seller first

Short videos, real answers
Lesson 01

Pricing your home right in Rhode Island

What sells in East Greenwich isn’t what sells in Cranston. Zillow doesn’t know your block. I do. After 15 years pricing homes across Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts, and Eastern Connecticut, I’ll show you the comps, explain my number, and let you decide. No inflated number to win the listing. Just what the data says it’s worth.

Lesson 02

What’s worth doing before you list

Not every renovation returns what it costs. Sometimes the smartest move is paint and a new front door. Sometimes it’s pulling carpet to expose the original hardwoods underneath. After walking through hundreds of Rhode Island homes, from Providence triple-deckers to East Bay capes and Newport farmhouses, I’ll tell you which prep work pays off in your micro-market and which to skip.

Lesson 03

Timing your sale

When you list matters almost as much as the price. I’ll tell you what the market is doing in your town right now, how long similar homes are taking to sell, and whether waiting a season helps you or costs you.

Ask Jess
01How do you decide what my home is worth?

I look at real recent sales on your street and in your micro-market, show you the comps and explain my number. Then you decide with the full picture. No online estimate, and no inflated number just to win your listing.

02What should I fix before I list?

Only what pays off in your micro-market. Not every renovation returns what it costs. Sometimes the smartest move is paint and a new front door. I’ll walk through the house and tell you what to do and what to skip.

03When is the best time to sell?

When you list matters almost as much as the price. I’ll tell you what the market is doing in your town right now, how long similar homes are taking to sell, and whether waiting a season helps you or costs you.

04What do I need before closing in Rhode Island?

One item people forget is the smoke and carbon monoxide certificate. The inspection must take place within 120 days before the sale, so I usually schedule it once we’re under contract. My seller’s guide lists the documents you’ll need.

05How will you market my home?

Professional photos that sell the house before the showing, then in front of the right buyers on day one. When offers come in, I compare them side by side and handle the deadlines.

06Do you work outside Rhode Island?

Yes. I’m licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, so I can help if your home is just over the line.
