The Selling Process, Step by Step
Six stages every seller goes through — explained simply so nothing catches you off guard.
Price It Right from Day One
Overpricing is the #1 mistake sellers make. A home that sits too long loses buyer interest fast. Darya uses a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to find the sweet spot — a price that attracts offers without leaving money on the table.
Prepare & Stage Your Home
Buyers decide within seconds of walking in. Small improvements — fresh paint, decluttering, deep cleaning — can add thousands to your final sale price. Staging helps buyers picture themselves living there.
Market to the Right Buyers
Professional photography, MLS listing, social media, and targeted outreach — Darya handles the full marketing strategy to get maximum eyes on your home.
Review Offers & Negotiate
When offers come in, it's not just about the highest number. Contingencies, closing timelines, and financing strength all matter. Darya helps you evaluate every offer and negotiate the best overall deal.
Navigate Inspection & Appraisal
After accepting an offer, the buyer will schedule an inspection. Requests for repairs are common — Darya helps you decide what to fix, what to credit, and what to push back on.
Close & Hand Over the Keys
Closing day is the finish line. You'll sign documents, receive your proceeds, and hand over the keys. Darya walks you through every document so there are no surprises at the table.

Seller FAQs
The questions Darya hears most from sellers — answered honestly.
How do I know what my home is worth?
Darya provides a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that looks at recent sales of similar homes in your area. It's the most accurate way to determine your home's current market value.
Should I make repairs before listing?
It depends on the repair. Minor cosmetic fixes almost always pay off. Major repairs may or may not — Darya can help you decide what's worth doing based on your specific home and market.
How long will it take to sell my home?
In Pierce County's current market, well-priced homes often go under contract within 1–2 weeks. The full process from listing to closing typically takes 30–45 days.
What are the costs of selling a home?
Sellers typically pay agent commissions (negotiable), closing costs (1–3%), and any agreed-upon repair credits. Darya will walk you through a full net proceeds estimate before you list.
Do I need to be home during showings?
No — in fact, it's better if you're not. Buyers feel more comfortable exploring and asking questions when the seller isn't present. Darya coordinates all showings on your behalf.
Can Darya help Russian-speaking sellers?
Absolutely. Darya conducts full consultations, negotiations, and closings in Russian for clients who prefer it. Nothing gets lost in translation.
