Your Journey Starts Here~Where We Get Results That Move You

Built on Trust. Driven by Results. Focused on YOU.

I’m Machelle Williams with The Machelle Williams Group at eXp Realty, and I’m going to tell you the truth—selling a home is stressful. There’s no magic wand to make it easy, and in today’s market, sometimes it feels like spitting into the wind.

But that’s exactly why having the right agent matters. My job is to make the process as smooth, strategic, and successful as possible, even when the market isn’t playing nice.

I start with accurate, market-backed pricing and showcase your home with professional photography, compelling descriptions, and targeted marketing designed to get buyers through the door. From there, I work to keep momentum going—navigating showings, negotiations, and all the moving parts—so you don’t have to carry it alone.

I’ll be with you from our first conversation to closing day, giving you honest guidance, quick responses, and a clear plan so you always know what’s happening and why.

You handle your life—I’ll handle the details.

When you’re ready, let’s talk about your goals, what your home is worth, and how we can get it sold—stress and all—while keeping your sanity intact.

Begin Here:

Know the Reason Behind Your Sale

Before we talk pricing, marketing, or showings, we need to get crystal clear on why you’re selling. Your reason shapes the entire strategy—and the better we define it, the better we can build a plan that works for you.

If your priority is speed, then top-dollar might take a backseat to a fast, clean closing. That doesn’t mean you won’t get a great offer—it just means that a buyer who can close in 30 days might be more valuable than one dangling a slightly higher price with strings attached.

It’s also important to know your absolute bottom line. Having that number in mind keeps you from wasting time on unrealistic offers and helps you stay focused when the market throws you curveballs. Remember—price is just one part of the deal. Terms, timelines, and conditions can be just as important.

Once you’ve defined your goals and limits, share them with your agent. A good agent will use them to guide pricing, negotiations, and marketing so you’re not making reactive decisions in the heat of the moment.

Selling a home is a mix of business and emotion. Clarity upfront helps you navigate the stressful parts and move forward with confidence—whether your goal is speed, price, or both.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

Prepare the Home

Before your home ever hits the MLS, the real work begins—getting it ready to shine.

Buyers make decisions fast, and first impressions are everything, so we want your home looking its absolute best from day one.

That means more than a quick tidy-up. We’re talking decluttering so the space feels open and inviting, deep cleaning until every surface sparkles, and tackling repairs that could turn into red flags during inspections.

Depending on your home and budget, we might also discuss staging—arranging furniture, décor, and lighting to highlight the home’s best features and help buyers picture themselves living there.

A home that’s clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully presented will stand out in photos, attract more showings, and often inspire stronger offers.

STEP 2

Set the Right Price

Pricing your home isn’t guesswork—it’s strategy. Price it too high and it will just sit. Price it too low and you leave money behind.

The goal is to hit that sweet spot where your home attracts the most buyers, generates interest quickly, and still brings you the best possible return.

Finding that number means looking closely at recent sales in your area, factoring in your home’s unique features, and reading the current market with a clear, realistic eye.

This is where having an experienced real estate professional matters. I’ll use up-to-date local data, proven pricing strategies, and an honest assessment to position your home exactly where it needs to be—competitive, appealing, and ready to get offers.

STEP 3

Market the property

Once your home is prepped and priced, it’s time to show it off—and the first 30 days are crucial.

This is when your listing is fresh, interest is highest, and serious buyers are watching for new opportunities. Miss that window, and momentum can fade fast.

We start with professional photography that stops buyers mid-scroll, paired with a compelling MLS listing that pushes your home onto all the major real estate websites.

From there, we launch targeted social media campaigns, email marketing, and other strategic outreach to get your home in front of as many qualified buyers as possible, as quickly as possible.

In today’s market, you can’t just list a home—you have to launch it with impact.

STEP 4

Negotiate and Close the Sale

When an offer comes in, that’s not the finish line—it’s the start of a whole new phase.

We’ll go through each offer line by line, weighing not just the price, but also the terms: contingencies, financing type, closing timeline, inspection deadlines, and any special requests from the buyer.

Sometimes the “highest” offer isn’t the best once you factor in risk and flexibility.

Once we’ve chosen the offer that best fits your goals, the negotiations begin. This could mean countering on price, adjusting terms, or tightening deadlines to keep everything moving. I’ll handle the back-and-forth so you can stay focused on your next move without getting buried in the details.

After you’ve accepted, the closing process officially kicks off. This stage can include inspections, appraisals, title work, buyer financing milestones, repairs (if agreed upon), and stacks of paperwork. My role is to keep every party on track—buyers, agents, lenders, inspectors, title companies—so your sale stays on schedule and surprises are kept to a minimum.

Finally, when all the boxes are checked and signatures are in place, you’ll hand over the keys, and the sale is complete.

It’s the last step in the transaction, but the start of your next chapter.
