The Selling Process
Selling Made Simple
We understand that selling your home means maximizing its value while balancing your busy schedule. You need a trusted partner to make the process smooth and stress-free.
At Motive, we’re here to meet your needs. Our selling strategy is designed to prepare your home for market, price it competitively, and attract serious, qualified buyers—ensuring a streamlined experience and the best possible outcome.

How It Works
Motive’s agents will provide you with every necessary tool, including:
1.
Market Analysis
We’ll thoroughly assess your home, pull comparable sales of similar homes in your neighborhood, tour the competition, and analyze current market trends to determine a competitive list price for your home.
2.
Motive Makeover Team
Even the simplest changes can increase your home’s value immensely. Our team will advise you on staging, decluttering, potential upgrades, repairs, and a strategy to help ensure your home is sold for top-dollar and attracts the most qualified buyers.
3.
Motive Marketing
It’s not enough to simply list a house, we’ll put together a unique sales plan, including both online and traditional channels, to promote the sale of your home.
4.
Negotiate Offers
As offers come in, we’ll collaborate with you to secure the best possible price and contract terms. When needed, we’ll also handle negotiations for requested repairs and connect you with trusted, skilled contractors.
5.
Closing
Motive’s agents strive to transform the closing process, guiding you through each step to make this often-daunting experience a breeze. Our professional insight ensures you’re thoroughly prepared for each task and fully informed about every document you sign. From canceling or transferring utilities to arranging movers, we’re here to help you handle all the details.
6.
Build A Home For A Family In Need
Through our partnership with The Butterfly Tree, Motive will fund the construction of a home for a family in need in the remote African village of Mukuni, Zambia. You, as our client, get all the credit for making this happen. After all- Motive wouldn’t exist without you. Learn more about our program to end homelessness here.

We used John as our Realtor in purchasing and selling. He was excellent to work with, professional in every way, always showed up to our (numerous) viewings with great insight into the house and the area and was very knowledgeable and helpful in both transactions.

John Staab is without a doubt the best real estate professional in the business! John has handled four real estate transactions for us over the last year and each time treated us like we were his only clients. His attention to detail, expertise and, above all else, patience are why we would use Motive Real Estate over and over.
