Our Process
BUYING AND SELLING AT THE
SAME TIME?
YES, you can buy & sell at the same time.
Better yet—you can do it WITHOUT having to put your life on hold.
Buying your first home is one of the most exciting milestones in life! But when the time comes to make an upgrade, things can feel a biiiit complicated. Why? Because there isn’t just one, but TWO houses you have to coordinate.
If you’re ready to begin the search for your next home, you’re probably wondering...
“But Kelley, which comes first: the BUYING part, or the SELLING part? And how the heck do we make both work at the same time?!”
Hold it right there, friend. You have OPTIONS, and you also have The Real Estate Collective on your side. Our proven process to get you from START to SOLD without putting your life on hold.
Eliminating stress - how do we eliminate stress. Planning a head of time.
STEP 1: PREPARE
Get your home ready to list with any final upgrades & renovations. (Hint: You don’t & shouldn’t have to spend TONS of time or money on this!)
STEP 2: PERFECT
Our staging expert will get your home looking picture-perfect for listing photos & showings so you can really sell those potential buyers!
STEP 3: PRESENT
Showtime, baby! Our team will make sure every corner of your house is looking its absolute best so you’ll feel confident knowing quality offers will be coming in.
Here’s our Proven Process at work...
“Kelley made selling our house so much less stressful than I thought it would be. She walked us through every step, gave helpful advice on packing and staging before we listed, and worked FOR us through every step of the process. We got six offers in the first two days and Kelley helped us work through the negotiation process. In every way, Kelley helped to make selling our home and buying a new one an easy and exciting process.” –Keegan & Lacy Watson
“Kelley was referred to me by a family member who had worked with her. From the very beginning, Kelley listened to our needs and house requirements and would send listings based on those. If I changed my mind about a neighborhood, she would immediately send listings based on that change. Kelley communicated regularly with our listing agent in Las Vegas, as well as the title company and lender. This communication eased our stress; she definitely DOES "know her stuff!" We have no plans of moving any time soon, but for any future transactions, I will call her first. I will also recommend Kelley to any friends or family in the process of selling or buying.” –The Brown Family
“Kelley was great to work with. As a first-time home buyer, I was unfamiliar with everything involved in the process. Kelley did an excellent job of guiding me through the process and answering all my questions. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was very reassuring. She always responded quickly to texts and phone calls and made me feel like her most important client. Kelley made the complex process of buying a home painless and I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a realtor.” –Tim Comfort

A closer look into our 3-step Proven Process.
Step 1: Prepare
Preparation is KEY! Certain projects hold certain weight. If you’re wondering what you should be updating in your home (if anything), our team of experts will guide you to making the best decisions to get the most bang for your buck—with as little stress as possible.
Working with The Real Estate Collective gives you access to our exclusive list of preferred contractors so we can make your property shine!
Step 2: Perfect
Did you know that 81% (YES, 81%!!!) of buyers say home staging makes it easier to visualize your property as their future home!
This is exactly why we offer staging services on every single one of our listings. Whether you’re moving out before listing your home for sale, or staying put during the showing process, our staging professionals will step in to arrange your home in a way that will have your potential buyers thinking about your home nonstop.
Step 3: Present
Once your home is looking picture perfect from floor to ceiling, it’s time to show it off to the world! (The wild world of Zillow, that is. 😉)
The truth is that you only have 0.5 SECONDS to win a buyer’s attention, and most buyers are searching online—just like you! That’s why professional photography is so, so important.
