“It was a pleasure working with Dave and Matt! They’re a great team, Dave the big picture and Matt has all the numbers in his head! Personable, straight forward and no BS. I had very specific requirements for my new home and they were flexible and provided guidance. I ended up retaining them to sell my existing home also. Great experience!”

“Our realtor Dave Bulava helped us in so many ways to help prepare our house for sale and to get the top price. Once on the market he had it advertised and brought us two top offers both over our asking price within a week and had the sale closed before we knew it. So professional, knowledgeable, considerate, and friendly we would HIGHLY recommend Dave to any homeowner looking to sell or prospective buyer looking to buy! Top notch…the BEST!! 😊👍”

Common Questions

Questions Sellers Ask Us All the Time

A few quick answers to help you understand what comes next.

Yes. The Seller Roadmap is completely free to use. Watch the videos, download the PDF, and come back to it whenever you need a refresher.
Earlier is usually better. You do not need to be ready to list before having a conversation. Starting early gives you more time to understand your home's value, decide what preparation is actually worth doing, build a timeline, and avoid making expensive last-minute decisions.
Not necessarily. The goal is not to make your home perfect. It is to determine which repairs, maintenance items, cosmetic improvements, or presentation changes are likely to improve the sale enough to justify the cost. We recommend building the preparation plan around your specific property, competition, timeline, and goals.
We look at comparable sales, current competition, pending homes, buyer search behavior, property condition, and your goals. There is not always one perfect list price. The right pricing strategy depends on the outcome you are trying to create, including price, timing, certainty, and negotiating leverage.
We can build the buying and selling sides into one plan. That includes understanding your equity, financing, timing, ideal closing dates, temporary housing if necessary, and the different ways your sale and purchase can be structured.
No. The Seller Roadmap is designed to help you understand the process and make more informed decisions. If you want help building a property-specific selling plan, you can schedule a conversation with us whenever you are ready.
