The Steps to Selling Your Home
Whether you’re ready to sell or simply looking to learn your home's value, Nicolette will guide you with data and expertise throughout the process.
NO.1
Setting the Stage
From applying a fresh coat of paint to rearranging furniture, Nicolette will ensure that the property is visually ready for showing. She will schedule a professional photo shoot, commission an illustrative floor plan, and prepare a listing description.

Compass Coming Soon
Drive buyer interest and buzz with Coming Soon, which affords prospective buyers a glimpse of your home before it officially comes on the market. During the setting the stage period, your home will be pre-marketed as a “Coming Soon” property on compass.com. This will build anticipation among potential buyers, drive up its value, and shorten the sales timeline.

The listing is broadcast online and sent across our 100+ partner sites for the duration of the selling process.
