Bright staged living room in a St. Louis home

Selling in St. Louis, Missouri

Sell your home without the guesswork.

You'll see what each option would put in your pocket, in writing, before you decide anything.

Which one sounds like you?

My home is ready. I want top dollar.It needs work and I don't know what's worth fixing.I need a firm date.

Selling shouldn't feel like a gamble.

Most sellers lose sleep over the same few things: a buyer backing out, a surprise from the inspection, and living out of a laundry basket for showings. My job is to plan for those before they reach your front door.

Before you accept an offer, I check the buyer's financing and terms, not just the price. I keep other interested buyers in the loop in case you need them.

Three ways to sell. You pick.

Every home and every seller is different. I'll show you the numbers for each, side by side.

List it right

For a home that is ready, or close to it. You have some time and want the strongest price the market will pay.

The trade-off: Usually the highest price, and the longest timeline.

What I do

Price it from recent sales near you, not from an online estimate.
Professional photos, video and a virtual tour, included.
Full exposure to buyers on the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com and Homes.com, plus Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
A dated plan from today to closing.
Showing times we agree on up front, built around your work, your kids and your pets.
A plan for the inspection and the appraisal before they happen, so a surprise is less likely to knock your sale off course.
Updates without asking. You never have to chase me to find out where things stand.

Fix what pays

For a home that needs some work. You want to keep more of your money and aren't sure which repairs are worth doing.

The trade-off: Some money and a few weeks up front, for a better chance at a stronger price and fewer inspection surprises.

What I do

Estimate what each repair costs against the range it could add to your sale price.
Get the bids and line up the contractors.
Hold contractors to a schedule and a quality standard, so you aren't the general contractor in your own home.
Point out the repairs that are unlikely to return what they cost, so you can skip them.
When the buyer's inspection comes back, separate safety issues from normal wear, to help keep small items from costing you big money.

Sell on your date

For when the date matters most. You need a set closing date, or you want to sell without repairs or showings.

The trade-off: A firm date and less disruption, usually for a lower price. I'll show you the difference in dollars.

What I do

Bring you cash and investor offers in writing.
Compare each one against a normal listing, so you can see what speed costs.
Explain every contract in plain terms before you sign.
Keep a normal listing ready as your backup.

How an investor sale works

You and the investor agree on a price in writing. The investor takes over preparing and selling the home, and you are paid the agreed amount at closing. This usually pays less than a full listing. I'll show you the difference and what it costs before you decide.

As your agent, my job is to help you keep as much of your money as possible.

When you're my client and you're thinking about a repair, an upgrade or a service contract before you sell, check with me first. I'll tell you if I think it's worth it. Sometimes the best advice is "don't spend that."

Start with your numbers

One of my clients was told she needed termite treatment every month.
She asked me before signing. Once a year was all she needed. One question saved her from paying for something month after month that she didn't need.

Move with a plan. Not pressure.

I plan a home sale the way I used to plan global product lines.

Before real estate, I led national and global product launches. One product design could often have 20 parts and 8 to 12 vendors behind it, and we often launched more than 50 products a season. Plus the product engineering, merchandising and advertising! I managed the costs, kept vendors on schedule, and learned that nothing can be left to chance.

A home sale has moving parts, fixed deadlines and a lot of people involved: photographers, compliance, stagers, inspectors, contractors, lenders and title. All while you have packing, unpacking, movers and everything else to schedule and map out. My role isn't to sell you on a price. It's to give you a clear plan, deal with risks before they turn into problems, and show you the money side up front.

You have enough on your plate. Let me help. I'm good at this.

"The usual way" describes common practice. Individual agents vary. Price and repair estimates are my professional opinion based on recent sales. They are not a promise of what your home will sell for.

Sell my house in St. Louis: questions sellers ask me.

Ask me a question

How long does it take to sell a home in St. Louis?

It depends on the home, the price and the season. There are three parts: getting ready, finding the buyer, and closing. Once you accept an offer from a buyer using a loan, closing usually takes about 30 to 45 days from the day the agreement is signed by both parties. I'll give you a dated plan for your home so you know what to expect.

What should I fix before I sell?

Less than you think. Start with what a buyer's lender or inspector is likely to flag. For everything else, check with me first. I'll estimate what each repair costs against the range it could add, and tell you if I think it's worth it.

Can I sell if I still owe money on my mortgage?

Yes. Your loan is paid off at closing from the sale. Your written numbers show what is left for you after the loan, closing costs and fees.

Do you work with corporate and military relocations?

Yes. I've been through both kinds of moves myself, more than once. I know what it's like to land in a place where you don't know the neighborhoods, what your daily routine will look like, or what to expect. Homes are also built very differently across the country, so you need someone who knows which questions to ask and what to look for. I'll be your guide at every step, whether you're coming to St. Louis or leaving it.

What does it cost to work with you?

Let's be honest: looking at a traditional real estate commission can make anyone wonder what they're actually paying for. I've felt that exact frustration myself.Here is how I look at it through my background as a project manager: a commission isn't just a fee for paperwork; it's a performance-aligned investment. When you work with me, I cover the cost of marketing your home, and I manage the contractors and the logistics. My commission is paid at closing, when your home is sold. If you choose to make repairs, those are your costs, and I'll show you which ones are worth it first.Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable, and we review the exact number together at our very first meeting. It gets put in writing with my brokerage, LPT Realty, before you sign anything. No hidden fees, no moving goalposts, just clear, predictable math so you always know what you're getting for your investment.
