Setting Your

Plus, she’ll help you with those little improvements that can go a long way. Don’t worry, it’ll be fun (and if you need a good laugh, Amber’s got you covered)!

Listing Your Property

Once your property is prepped and priced right, it’s time to list! Amber will create an eye-catching listing with stunning photos, a catchy description, and all the details potential buyers need. The listing will go live, and Amber will start marketing your home far and wide, making sure no stone is left unturned. Think social media, online listings, email campaigns—you name it!

Reviewing Offers

Here’s where the fun begins: the offers start rolling in! Amber will present every offer to you, explaining the pros and cons of each. Together, you’ll decide which offer works best for your situation. Whether it’s the highest price, the best terms, or a combination of both, Amber’s expertise will help you make the best choice.

Accepted Offer &
Conditional Period

Congratulations! You’ve accepted an offer. But before you can pop the champagne, there’s a brief period where buyers will need to meet certain conditions—like financing or inspections.

Closing Day

The day is here! On closing day, Amber will be there to make sure everything goes smoothly.

The next time you walk into your property, it’s time to say goodbye and hand over the keys to the lucky new owners. It’s bittersweet, but don’t worry—Amber will help make it all as seamless as possible.
