Home Seller's Guide
Your home gets one first week on the market. This is how we make it count.
Pricing, prep, showings, offers, and closing, in plain language, from the agent who will be running every step of it.
How to use this guide
Selling a home has a lot of moving parts. Pricing, prep, inspections, presentation, marketing, and negotiation all change your final number. This guide walks through each one in plain language: what matters, what's optional, and what to expect from decision day to closing.
You don't have to read it front to back. Jump to the part keeping you up at night. Every chapter also shows how each decision hits your bottom line, from days on market to concessions, credits, and net proceeds.
Seven steps
The home selling journey
Timeline, priorities, and budget. We get clear on what matters, how fast you need to move, and what you want to invest before listing.
Prep ↗Pre-inspections. We take the unknowns off the table early, so repairs, disclosures, and pricing are built on real information.
Prep ↗Repairs and updates. We protect your leverage and skip spending money where buyers won't pay you back.
Prep ↗Cleaning and staging. We remove distractions so your home feels cared for, easy to evaluate, and easy to say yes to.
Prep ↗Photography and media. Buyers shop online first. Strong photos and video earn showings and build confidence, especially with out-of-area buyers.
Marketing ↗Launch and exposure. We go live fully prepared. The first week is when you have the most leverage.
Marketing ↗Offers and closing. We negotiate price and terms, then manage every contingency and deadline through closing.

Meet Catt Johnson
A lot of people are making six- and seven-figure decisions with an agent they are afraid to bother. I think that is ridiculous.
Selling a home is not supposed to feel like a self-checkout line with higher stakes and worse lighting. I work with sellers who want a true partner in the process: someone to plan the prep, price it from real data, connect the vendors, track the moving pieces, and help them make smart decisions before, during, and long after the sale.
I am funny, ambitious, relentlessly organized, and I care about leaving every home, every client experience, and every corner of my community better than I found it.
Details are not extra. They are the difference between a move that works and a move that works you over.
