Our Process

Here's how we do it

Selling your home isn’t just about putting it on the market — it’s about positioning it to win. At State Wide Real Estate, we’ve refined a proven, step-by-step system that turns preparation, marketing, and teamwork into real results. From the first walkthrough to the final signature, every detail is handled with precision and care. Here’s how we make it happen.

STEP 1

Consultation

We start by listening — not listing. Your goals, timeline, and circumstances shape everything we do. During the consultation, we’ll talk through your reasons for selling, what you hope to achieve, and any updates or challenges your property might have. From there, we’ll walk you through current market trends, pricing strategy, and selling options that best fit your priorities — whether that’s maximizing your return, moving quickly, or finding the right balance. This first step builds the foundation for a clear, confident plan and ensures every move we make aligns with your goals from day one.

STEP 2

Team Walk Through

We start with teamwork, not guesswork. Before listing, our entire team -- that’s 8 agents with 125+ years of combined experience -- walks your property together to map out the perfect strategy and a price. As a team, we can spot selling points, figure out opportunities, and build a sharp, strategic plan that a single agent simply can’t. No one but State Wide takes this approach. Why? Because it takes more time and effort. And in most agencies, the agents compete rather than collaborate.

STEP 3

Pricing & Strategy

What other valuations miss — we don’t. We don’t throw out numbers based on hope and algorithms, or worse, name a sky-high price just to win your listing. Because our full team has walked your property, we price with total clarity — factoring in upgrades, layout, land, and condition, not just square footage. Then we combine that insight with real market data to hit the sweet spot: fast sale, strong price, and zero guesswork.

Prep & Staging

Homes that show well sell faster and for more money. In fact, staged or well-prepped homes spend 30–50% less time on the market. We’ll help you focus on the high-impact improvements that matter most — whether that’s simple tweaks, decluttering, or  staging. Our team walk-through ensures we only recommend changes that move the needle.

STEP 5

Listing

Digital curb appeal is our secret weapon. Listings with professional photography, videos, and persuasive copy sell 32% faster and for $3,000–$11,000 more on average. Before buyers ever schedule a showing, they scroll—and your listing has to stop them in their tracks. We combine high-end photography, image enhancements, drone footage, virtual tours, and emotionally charged videos to create that instant “wow” factor. The result? More eyes, stronger offers, and faster sales.

STEP 6

Marketing

We don't just list, we launch. Big exposure. Smart targeting. Fast traction. The moment your listing goes live, we hit the ground running with a campaign no other agency can match:

  • Publish to Zillow, Homes.com, Realtor.com, etc. 
  • Feature to 6,000+ visitors on our website
  • Interactive tour to 5,000+ active social media followers
  • Advertise to 20,000+ U.P. buyers via Google & FB Ads
  • Promote to over 100 active hot buyers in our database
  • Plug on daily RRN morning radio talk show

STEP 7

Showings, Offers & Closing

When offers come in, our experience makes the biggest difference. We analyze every term, create leverage, and protect your price. That’s how our sellers consistently close at or near asking price — outperforming both the market and competitors. From offer to close, we coordinate everything behind the scenes so you stay informed, but never overwhelmed.
