Selling your home on the Old West Side
A price based on real sales, a paid social media campaign, and a clear plan from your first meeting to closing day.
Selling your home on the Old West Side
Selling your home on the Old West Side means selling character and location together. Most homes here are two-story houses from the early 1900s, on walkable streets an easy walk from downtown Ann Arbor. It's one of the neighborhoods I know best.
The details matter for price. Has your home been completely redone, or does it keep its original character? Has it been added onto? Does it have a garage? Each answer changes which sales truly compare, and we price your home together from those.
Your home's history is part of what you're selling. The Old West Side was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, one of the first neighborhoods of modest homes in the country to earn that, and buyers who love older homes look for that story. The listing will tell it.

Showing what makes your house special
On the Old West Side, buyers fall for character. The photos and video focus on the details of your home, and before the photographer comes, we walk through together and decide what to highlight.
Drone footage shows how close you are to downtown, and the listing description gives clear facts about the size, the updates, and any addition, so the right buyer can imagine themselves in the home.
A paid social media campaign reaches buyers in and around Ann Arbor during the first two weeks. Read more about how I present a home.
Being upfront about size and parking
Old West Side homes tend to have smaller square footage unless they've been added onto, and not every house has a garage. Buyers will ask, so the listing answers clearly. Being upfront brings you buyers who already want what your home offers.
From listing day to closing, I keep a checklist, and you hear the next step from me before you need to ask.
