SELLING
Your selling journey
starts here.
In 2025, Carrie's sellers closed at 106% of asking price. That isn't luck. It's pricing, preparation and somebody who negotiates for a living.

Why 106% matters
Price is set once. Everything after that is negotiation.
A home priced correctly and prepared properly creates competition. A home priced hopefully sits, goes stale, and sells for less than it would have on day one.
Carrie's job is to get the first part right, then defend it — reading offers for what they actually mean, ranking them against your priorities rather than the highest headline number, and holding the line through inspection and appraisal.
THE PROCESS
Six steps to sold.
Meet your agent
01
Meet with your agent to tour the home to discuss features, updates and review the local. We set a price the market will meet and get the house ready to be seen at its best.
Prep & launch
02
The repairs worth making, the ones that aren't, staging, professional photography and a launch timed to hit the market when buyers are looking. Presentation is where the 106% starts.
Showing your home
03
Once we've prepped your house for sale and set a price, we're ready for the public to see your property. Carrie manages showings, gathers feedback, and tells you honestly what the market is saying back.
Review offers
04
When you receive one or more offers on your property, Carrie can rank them based on your priorities and help you analyze, clarify and compare them — because the best offer isn't always the biggest number.
Inspection & appraisal
05
Most buyers request a home inspection as a condition of their offer. Carrie will explain what is and isn't covered, how to prepare, and how to handle what comes back. Then comes the appraisal — and she'll make sure the appraiser has everything needed to support your price.
Close
06
You're one step closer to sold. There's quite a lot to consider when closing on the sale of your house — Carrie will walk you through exactly what to expect, what to sign, and what to do before you hand over the keys.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What sellers ask first.
-
Not what an automated estimate says. Carrie prepares a comparative market analysis using recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood, adjusted for what makes your property different — condition, updates, lot, layout and current buyer demand. It's free, and there's no obligation attached to it.
-
Some pay for themselves several times over and some are money you'll never see again. Carrie will walk your home and tell you specifically which is which — in your market, at your price point — including the ones that cost nothing but a weekend.
-
It depends on price, condition and season, and Carrie will give you a realistic range for your property rather than an optimistic one. Once you're under contract, closing typically follows in 30 to 60 days depending on the buyer's financing.
-
Commission is negotiable and is agreed in writing up front. Beyond that, expect conveyancing or attorney fees, any agreed repair credits, and Massachusetts or Connecticut transfer taxes. Carrie will give you a written net sheet so you know your likely proceeds before you list, not after.
-
Not necessarily, but the sequencing matters a great deal and it's one of the more expensive things to get wrong. Carrie handles both sides of these moves regularly and will map out the options — including the ones that keep you from owning two homes at once.
STEP ONE
What’s it worth?
Ask Carrie for a real valuation — comparable sales, a price range, and a net sheet. No obligation, no pressure, and no inflated number to win your listing.
