Selling Your Home in Idyllwild
Letting go is rarely just business. It’s personal—and I get that.
Selling a home in a place like Idyllwild is rarely about the house alone.
It's about saying goodbye to the space where life happened. The still mornings. The snow-dusted windows. The conversations on the deck. It’s okay if this brings up emotion. You're not just selling property—you're closing a chapter.
My job is to guide you through it with care, clarity, and the confidence of someone who’s done this many times, for many people, with many kinds of stories.
Whether this move feels like freedom, grief, or something in between, you’ll be fully supported.
Getting Ready: 5 Things That Make a Big Difference
Every home is different, but these five simple steps can completely shift how buyers experience your home—and how quickly it sells.
Declutter, but don’t sterilize
Clear away the noise, but leave a sense of life. Buyers want to imagine their future here—not yours.Deep clean everything
Not just surfaces. Windows, baseboards, switch plates, screens. Clean feels like “well cared for.”Light matters
Bright spaces feel bigger and more welcoming. Open curtains, replace bulbs, and avoid harsh overheads.Address obvious repairs
Fix what’s broken, patch what’s cracked. It tells buyers you’ve taken care of the home—and puts their minds at ease.Let it breathe
If it feels cramped, crowded, or closed off, we’ll edit the space. Sometimes all it takes is removing a chair or clearing a counter.
I’ll walk through all of this with you and help prioritize what matters—and what doesn’t.
Pricing in the Real World
Yes, your home is special—but the right price still matters.
Overpricing can lead to sitting, discounting, and attracting the wrong buyer energy. My goal is to price strategically—with a full understanding of what today’s buyers are seeing, feeling, and comparing.
You’ll never be pushed. You’ll simply be informed.
Marketing That Matches the Moment
I don’t do boilerplate flyers or generic blurbs.
Your home deserves more. Every listing I take on is marketed with intention—through beautiful photos, honest storytelling, strong buyer-facing language, and placement that reaches beyond the basics.
Because presentation is everything, I handle or oversee all the photography, copy, and staging. If it’s not something I’d be proud to put my name on, it’s not going out.
Disclosure Support, From Start to Finish
California's paperwork can be intimidating—especially in the mountains, where wells, septic, permits, and fire clearance are often part of the mix. I’ll help you get ahead of disclosures, inspections, and any known issues so we avoid surprises and maintain buyer confidence throughout escrow.
Fierce About Protecting You
Behind the empathy and the calm, I’m fiercely protective of my sellers.
It’s my job to anticipate problems before they happen, hold the line during negotiations, and make sure no detail falls through the cracks. I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to protecting your interests—especially in a market where not every buyer’s agent knows how to navigate a mountain transaction.
When you hire me, you're not just getting a listing agent. You're getting a watchdog, a strategist, and an advocate who won't let you get steamrolled.
You're Not Alone
Selling a home is a legal process, yes. But it's also a human one.
Whether you’re selling after decades or just letting go of a second home that never fully became yours, you deserve someone who sees you in this process—not just the price point.
I’m here for the details. I’m here for the strategy. And I’m here for the moments in between, when you might need a little extra clarity—or a little extra grace.
Let’s do this together.
