The practice

A sale is won before it is listed.

Most sellers believe the market decides the outcome. In practice the outcome is largely set by three decisions made before the listing goes live: what the home is priced at, what condition it is presented in, and how the first ten days are managed. These are the disciplines that handle those decisions. They are execution rather than advice, and they are why a well-run listing and a poorly run one can produce materially different numbers on the same house in the same week.
