What to Expect During the Home Selling Process in Westmoreland County, PA

Selling your home can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or relocating, having a clear plan and the right realtor by your side can make the process smooth, stress-free, and even exciting.

I’ve guided many sellers through this journey across Westmoreland County—from prepping their homes to handing over the keys—and I’m sharing exactly what you can expect at each stage.


📋 Step 1: Consultation & Pricing Strategy

We’ll start with a walkthrough of your home—virtual or in person. I’ll assess condition, location, features, and recent comps in the neighborhood. Then we’ll:

  • Set a competitive price using current market data

  • Discuss your timeline and goals

  • Decide if any updates or staging are needed

Pro tip: With my remodeling background, I’ll tell you which small fixes will get big returns—and which you can skip!


📸 Step 2: Marketing That Works

Your home gets custom, high-quality marketing designed to get attention—fast. I create:

  • Professional photography and video

  • Eye-catching listing descriptions

  • Social media promos and online exposure

  • Yard signage and flyers (if needed)

My marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s built specifically for your home and your audience.


🏠 Step 3: Showings & Open Houses

I coordinate showings to work around your schedule. You’ll always have notice, and I’ll give you feedback after each visit. If we do an open house, I’ll promote it heavily to drive the right buyers through the door.


✍️ Step 4: Offers & Negotiations

When an offer comes in (or multiple!), I review it with you in detail. I’ll negotiate on your behalf to protect your interests and get you the best terms—not just the best price.


🔑 Step 5: Under Contract to Closing

Once you’ve accepted an offer, we move into the “under contract” phase. I’ll guide you through:

  • Inspections and possible repairs

  • Appraisal

  • Final paperwork

  • Scheduling your move and settlement

You’ll always know what’s next—and I’ll be one phone call away.


❤️ Selling with Confidence (and a Personal Touch)

As a mom, a farm girl, and a full-time real estate pro, I get how busy life can be. I’ll work hard behind the scenes so your selling process feels effortless on your end.

With expert marketing, local experience, and real estate knowledge backed by remodeling insight, you can trust that your home is in great hands from listing to closing.
