Protecting Your Privacy. Maximizing Your Results.
BUYER PRE-SCREENING
We verify the financial qualifications of every prospective buyer before scheduling a showing. This includes proof of funds or a financial qualification letter, which we verify for legitimacy. We also research buyers and work closely with trusted agents to ensure only serious, well-qualified prospects tour your home.
SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your privacy and peace of mind are top priorities. All showings are by appointment only and personally managed. We control access to the property and remain present during showings to ensure a secure and discreet experience.
FLEXIBILITY AND ALIGNMENT
We offer a flexible listing agreement tailored to your goals and timeline. While we typically recommend a six-month listing agreement, our relationships are built on trust and results If your needs change or expectations are not being met, you may cancel at any time Our commitment is to deliver exceptional service, strategic marketing, and consistent communication every step of the way
THE SHOWING EXPERIENCE
PRE-SHOWING
Showings are scheduled only after proof of funds or financial qualifications have been verified. Denise also leverages her experience and industry relationships to help ensure your property is shown only to serious, qualified buyers.
DURING SHOWINGS
Every showing is personally managed by Denise. Buyer agents receive detailed property information and key highlights in advance, helping them present the home effectively while providing valuable insight into their clients' motivations, timeline, and priorities.
FEEDBACK & FOLLOW-UP
Meaningful feedback doesn't end when the showing does. Denise follows up directly with buyer agents to gather insights, understand buyer motivations, and identify opportunities that can strengthen marketing strategy and future negotiations.
Additional Questions
Q: What is your total commission rate, and how is it split?
A: For properties over $1 million, our listing-side commission is typically 2.5%. Buyer broker compensation is no longer established at the time of listing and is instead negotiated as part of an offer. This allows flexibility to evaluate all terms collectively and make decisions that best support your goals and net proceeds.
Q: Do you offer a flexible cancellation clause if we are unsatisfied with the relationship? What is the length of your listing agreements?
A: We typically recommend a six-month listing agreement; however, our relationship with clients is built on trust, not contracts If at any point you feel we are not meeting your expectations, you may cancel the agreement with no cancellation fee We believe exceptional service should earn your business every day, and our focus is always on building long-term relationships based on communication, trust, and results
Q: Do you provide staging consultation?
A: Yes. We have a professional staging consultant who will provide a complimentary consultation prior to photography and launch. For your property, our recommendation would be focused on fine-tuning and presentation rather than full staging. Your furnishings and décor already complement the home beautifully, and we believe strategic adjustments will showcase the property at its highest level without the need for rental furniture
Q: What is your specific marketing budget for our home?
A: Rather than applying a fixed marketing budget to each listing, we invest in the marketing resources necessary to properly position and promote the property Our strategy includes professional photography, aerial imagery, cinematic video, targeted digital advertising, luxury syndication, social media marketing, broker outreach, premium print opportunities, and exclusive luxury platforms such as Signature Collection. The focus is not on limiting exposure to a predetermined budget, but on delivering the level of marketing a property of this caliber deserves.
Q: Will our home be featured on luxury-focused platforms? Which ones?
A: Yes. Your property will receive exposure through ReeceNichols Signature, Luxury Portfolio International, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Mansion Global, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's/Penta, JamesEdition, Financial Times Property Listings, and other luxuryfocused platforms designed to reach affluent buyers locally, nationally, and internationally
