The Utah Seller Guide

Sell Your Utah Home With Confidence.

The exact process I run for every seller β€” pricing, prep, marketing, negotiation, close. No guessing. No fluff. Built for Utah, by Utah's Realtor.

The full guide as a branded PDF β€” 7-step process, prep checklist, marketing playbook.

The Process

7 Steps from First Call to Closing Day

No mystery. No surprises. This is exactly how it works.

Step 01

Strategy Call

We start with a no-pressure call. I learn your goals, timeline, and what makes your home special. You learn how I work and whether we're the right fit.

Step 02

MOXIE-Powered CMA

I pull a hyper-local Comparative Market Analysis powered by MOXIE β€” the same intelligence platform top Coldwell Banker agents use. You get a defensible price range, not a guess.

Step 03

Prep & Stage

Together we walk the home and decide what's worth doing β€” and what isn't. I bring a trusted network of stagers, painters, photographers, and handymen if you want them.

Step 04

Cinematic Marketing

Professional photography, drone where it matters, video walk-throughs, and a custom property page. Your home goes to market looking like a magazine spread, not an MLS afterthought.

Step 05

Multi-Channel Launch

MLS + Coldwell Banker national network + bilingual social campaigns + Content Vault SEO + my private buyer database. Most homes hit 4–6 channels in week one.

Step 06

Negotiate & Protect

I negotiate hard on price, terms, contingencies, repairs, and closing dates. My job is to defend your equity at every step β€” not just get the deal done.

Step 07

Close & Celebrate

Title, escrow, final walk-through, signing day. I'm with you start to finish. And I check in long after β€” because referrals are how I built this business.

Pricing Strategy

Pricing isn't a guess.
It's a defense.

Most homes that sit on the market are priced wrong on day one. I price your home using MOXIE β€” a professional real estate intelligence platform β€” plus boots-on-the-ground knowledge of your specific street.

  • Active comps within 0.5 mi of your home
  • Pending sales (the truest signal of TODAY)
  • Last 90 days of closed sales, adjusted
  • Days-on-market trends + price-cut frequency
  • Buyer demand signals from MLS analytics
  • My judgment from physically walking the home

The Goldilocks Rule

Price it right. Sell it fast. Walk away with more.

Homes priced correctly in the first 14 days sell for an average of 3–5% more than homes that get a price reduction later. Stale listings lose negotiating power. I'd rather price you to win in week one than chase the market down for three months.

Home Prep

The Pre-List Checklist

Buyers decide in the first 30 seconds. These are the small moves that swing big offers.

Curb Appeal

  • Mow + edge lawn 1–2 days before photos
  • Power-wash driveway and entry walk
  • Fresh mulch in front beds
  • Replace burnt-out porch bulbs
  • New welcome mat

Inside Quick Wins

  • Declutter every horizontal surface
  • Pack 50% of what's on bookshelves
  • Touch-up paint on doorframes + trim
  • Replace any yellowed switch plates
  • Deep clean grout + caulk lines

Smart Repairs

  • Fix any leaky faucet (buyers always test)
  • Service furnace + AC if 6+ months old
  • Replace HVAC filters
  • Re-caulk tubs/showers if discolored
  • Tighten loose toilet seats + handles

Photo-Ready

  • Clear ALL counters in kitchen + baths
  • Hide pet bowls, litter boxes, leashes
  • Open every blind, turn on every lamp
  • Make every bed hotel-tight
  • Cars out of the driveway

Don't have time? Don't sweat it. I have a vetted Utah network of stagers, painters, and handymen who can knock this list out in a few days.
