Selling Your Home in Lancaster, Ohio
I walk you through every step of selling, and every home I list gets professional photo and video and paid Facebook and Instagram ads.
Selling a home in Lancaster
Lancaster buyers often want more house for their budget, and many like the historic small city feel and the chance of acreage nearby. When I price your Lancaster home, I compare it to Lancaster homes that have sold, because a home in an older neighborhood, a newer subdivision with an HOA and a home outside the city each get compared a little differently.
I was born and raised in Lancaster, and I serve as a Director on the Lancaster Board of REALTORS®, so I know the town you are selling in.

How I sell a Lancaster home
It starts with a phone call and a visit to your home. I sit down with you in your kitchen with my comps, walk through the home taking notes, and ask whether you have a number in mind. Then I show you how your home compares to the Lancaster homes that have sold. A similar home still on the market is your competition.
When your home goes live, it gets professional photo and video, a property tour for social media, and paid Facebook and Instagram ads, so buyers see it where they already scroll. Once you are under contract, I check in with you every week until closing. The full path is on my selling process page.
Curious what your Lancaster home is worth?
You do not have to be ready to sell to ask. I do free comps with no pressure or obligation, or you can start with a quick online estimate. If you are selling and buying your next home, read about doing both, or about downsizing.
