What to look at first
Choose comparable homes for their relevance rather than simply their proximity. Lot position, functional layout, condition, major replacements and the timing of a sale can all affect the comparison. Active listings show competition, while closed sales show completed transactions. Automated estimates can begin a conversation but may miss the features that change a buyer’s decision.
Review an expected net as well as the proposed list price. Payoffs, negotiated concessions, compensation and transaction expenses change what remains. Agree on how feedback and competing inventory will be reviewed after launch. A price adjustment works best as part of an intentional response to evidence, not a last-minute reaction to an arbitrary number of days.
Bring these questions to the conversation
- Separate closed comparables from current competition.
- Document significant condition differences.
- Revisit estimated net proceeds when offer terms change.

A sale dependent on another closing needs a different risk discussion from a cash purchase with a short inspection period. Jessica helps put those moving pieces side by side, then keeps the chosen agreement visible through the final walkthrough.
