Proven Home-Selling ^ Tips & Strategy

Selling real estate in Alexandria, VA, DC, and MD requires an experienced helping hand to sell quickly and successfully.

Here’s how the process works and how we help:

Book A Home Valuation

01

Meet, Review, Strategize

It starts with a meeting. We’ll discuss your current situation, selling motivation, timeframe, and property information. We’ll go over the entire home selling process with you and walk you through our unique real estate marketing strategies so there’ll be no surprises along the way.

Our approach means that we include our clients in every single detail throughout the home selling process. Together, we’ll discuss custom home selling tips, talk about your goals, and set a timeline that puts the best plan in motion.

Preparing Your Home & Innovative Marketing

Once your house is looking its best, we execute innovative marketing proven to get the job done. We envision the ideal buyer that would best suit the home, and target our marketing specifically to them, wherever they are.

You’ll meet with our professional stager for a complimentary consultation. They’ll determine a list of staging recommendations based on your home and budget; depending on your needs, this can range from cleaning and decluttering to repainting and bringing in new furniture. If renovations or repairs are needed, that’s where Compass Concierge comes in.

Our targeted marketing plans focus on the specific buyer profile we put together for each property. By advertising to the right demographic, we’ll find more interested buyers in less time. Our strategy is a combination of traditional and new media to showcase your home; using direct mail and paper advertising, as well as social media and email marketing, digital ads, and a prominent feature on our highly-trafficked website.

Your listing will be published in local publications and magazines that showcase high-end listings, and the community newsletter that reaches approximately 12,000 people in the Alexandria area.

Negotiating, Closing, Moving

We know the neighborhoods, and we know Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, Washington DC, and Montgomery County real estate. So when we get to the closing table, our team of expert negotiators will always get you a fair and justified price. Once we’ve closed the deal, we’ll help you move into your new home by finding movers that fit your schedule and budget.

Expansive Networking

We’ve built relationships with other top realtors throughout Alexandria and the DC Metro Area to create an extensive network of industry professionals. When listing your home, we reach out to these agents to match your home with the ideal buyer.

You also benefit from our Compass network as well as our Realm network, where we connect with the best brokers throughout the country—and across the globe—who often highlight our sellers’ listings in their newsletters,  social media campaigns, and other publications, reaching buyers worldwide.

Consistent Dedication

Selling your home is about more than just listing and hoping. It requires constant communication and honesty. We continually provide you with feedback from potential buyers and agents, and give you weekly updates on the state of the market and an action plan to sell your home.

John Ortman

"Absolute best to work with. They helped us decide what work was required, helped organize and project manage the entire renovation. We couldn't have had our house on market and sold above asking in such a quick time without their expertise and hard work."

Allison Feikes

"Listened to our wants and needs and found us great properties that had not yet hit the market. Knew how to compete in a hot market without ever pressuring us. As an Alexandria-native, they also knows northern Virginia so well."

Casey Prestipino

"Exceptional experience! As first-time buyers, we had numerous questions, but our outstanding realtor guided us through every step; expertly recommended lenders, curated properties in our desired area/price, and secured early viewings. We couldn't have been in better hands. We highly recommend the entire Goodhart team to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate experience."

Our 3-Phase Listing Approach

01

Private Exclusive Listing

Thanks to our industry relationships, we’re able to sell your home without listing it in any database. This is a great way to expose your property to qualified potential buyers if you prefer a private, off-market sale.

02

Compass Coming Soon

Through Compass Coming Soon we can pre-market your home to thousands of potential buyers both in the DC area and across the country to other Compass agents. That way, when it comes onto the market, we already have a list of interested buyers to tour your home.

The results of using the Compass Coming Soon strategy have been incredible. Since it allows us to confidentially price your property and build early excitement, we have found that it’s the fastest way to secure the best possible offer.

03

On The Market

When your home is ready for public listing day, we execute a comprehensive marketing plan that showcases your home to as many buyers as possible. We implement traditional print and innovative digital marketing strategies that maximize listing exposure, increase open house visits, and encourage top offers.

You Get More With Compass

Compass Concierge

Maximize the value of your home with Compass Concierge, the hassle-free way to increase the value of your property. If you want to take advantage of this offer, here’s what you can expect:

From painting to flooring and everything in between, Compass Concierge helps you easily prepare your home for the market by advancing the funds (up to five percent of the list price or 25,000) for home improvement services.

We’ll work together to determine which services can increase your home’s value the most and set an estimated budget for the work. We’ll be by your side throughout the Concierge process so that you can make the most out of your sale.

We’ll work with you to select the best vendors for the job, and you’ll contract directly with vendors without paying out-of-pocket costs. Once your home sells, simply pay back the funds that the program provided at a low percentage note—and nothing more.
