After 25 years selling real estate, I will be focusing on listing homes. This has been my primary work for quite a few years, and I’m effective in determining where the house should be priced in the market. My two years working with a national real estate coach several years ago drilled the concept into me that a well-priced home sells faster and for more money than one unrealistically priced.  I will be honest and upfront about the best way to get your home ready for sale, and what you can realistically sell it for.

I am excellent at preparing a home to sell and have the data to prove that I’ve sold homes for at least 97% of the asking price since 2017. Yes, the last two years have been easier for sellers but buyers aren’t naive about overpaying for a home that’s not a good investment; I have that data too.  I’ve been told that I’m an honest, direct and clear communicator, and can add fun to the process.  Problems come up involving deeds, inspections, finances, roofs, foundations, boundaries, mold, septic systems, wells, and radon air/water (prevalent in our Maine granite) to name some. It can be overwhelming for a seller to be confronted with addressing any of these - I have resources that are quick to respond and help resolve problems to keep a contract together. One recent client wrote the following which appears on the Zillow site: “She priced the house right, marketed it so people looking for the rustic lake camp experience were attracted, and we were under contract in a few weeks. Her negotiating support, like all her advice and encouragement, was outstanding. AND- Jean is kind, funny and wise company on top of being a whiz at her profession. We feel lucky and blessed that she was available when we chose her to represent us”.
