WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Prepping your home for showings, marketing your home and choosing offers, and the appraisal process--selling your home—especially if you've never done it before—can be surprisingly time-consuming and emotionally challenging.

Learn the simple steps sellers take to sell their homes, from listing to closing, in easy-to-understand terms.

STEPS FOR SELLERS

MEET YOUR AGENT

Helping you sell your home is a collaborative effort. We provide a thorough market analysis of your property to give you feedback on price, staging, selling, and what comes next.

SIZE UP UP YOUR HOME

We do a walk through to help determine its size, style and condition. We compare your home with other listings similar in size, location and features to create a Comparative Market Analysis. We'll share our findings with you and discuss how the CMA fits your expectations .

SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME

We believe the best looking homes sell fastest and for more money. We can make suggestions for getting your house into perfect shape for showings. We can also arrange a professional staging report for you that can help your home look its absolute best for buyers.

MARKET YOUR HOME

Now that your house is ready, it's showtime. We use many ways to get your home noticed.

OFFER IN HAND

Once a buyer makes an offer on your home, we present that "offer"(The Oregon and Washington Sale Agreements) to you and negotiate on your behalf to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

DEPOSITS AND ESCROW

The Earnest Money, a sum of money that the buyer deposits at the beginning of the transaction, is collected. In Escrow, a trusted third party who receives and reviews all paperwork and transactions for both the buyer and the seller.

INSPECTION + APPRAISAL

Unless the buyer has all cash, an appraisal will be ordered by the Buyer's lender. We are in touch with the appraisers, often meeting them at the appraisal to provide comparable market analysis and your house upgrades to make sure that the appraisal represents what your property is worth the amount offered.

SIGN + CLOSE

We help coordinate a time for you to review and sign all the closing documents at the Title Company. Once all the final documents have been signed, and you receive payment for your property, the deed is recorded and the transaction is officially closed.

“Rhonda has been the biggest blessing…”

Rhonda has been the biggest blessing. My husband and I were first time home-buyers in Portland, OR, and she answered all of our incessant questions with patience and enthusiasm at all hours of the day. She is spunky, humorous, and so easy to be around. She was eager to help us at the drop of the hat throughout this journey. Her expertise put us at ease, and it was easy to trust her to take care of us and advocate for us. We got an amazing house and with her help, everything went smoothly. I can't recommend her enough! She really is the best of the best, and anyone would be honored to have Rhonda as their agent! :)

Rhonda Spencer is nothing short of amazing!

"We worked with Rhonda to buy our first home and she was so awesome throughout the entire process. To say she was on top of everything would be an understatement. She was helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and always available. Most importantly, she worked tirelessly to make sure we were getting what we wanted and what was best for us. If you want an agent that will truly go the extra mile for you and make your experience the best it can be, I highly recommend Rhonda Spencer."

“Her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar.”

"Rhonda is fantastic- not only is she responsive to my multiple texts/emails about properties, but she is extremely knowledgeable about Portland, properties, various home characteristics (foundation material, electric, etc etc). Her knowledge helped guide me to a quality home. Additionally, her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar. If you’re looking to buy a home, you need Rhonda! As a bonus, she’s a charming, sweet and lovable person who is always cheerful and smiling. Who doesn’t want that when under the stress of buying a new home?!"
