Selling your home in Water Hill
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 in Water Hill
Selling your home in Water Hill means selling a century-old house close to downtown Ann Arbor and Kerrytown. It's one of the neighborhoods I know best. Many homes here keep their original character, some are just two bedrooms, and some stand out for the wildflower gardens in their yards.
Those details shape both the price and the buyer. I compare your home with the Water Hill sales that truly match it, and we set the price together.
Water Hill has a story buyers remember. The name comes from the nearby water treatment plant and streets named Fountain, Spring, and Brooks, and every May the neighborhood fills with music from front porches. If your home is a short walk from Kerrytown or downtown, the video and drone footage will show it.

Marketing the character, and the garden
Water Hill buyers are paying for character and location. The photos and video focus on your home's original details, and if your yard has a garden, it gets the attention it deserves. Before the photographer comes, we walk through together and decide what to highlight.
Drone footage shows how close you are to Kerrytown, downtown, and the nearby parks. The listing description is clear and accurate, so the buyer can imagine themselves in the home. Read more about how I present a home.
Timing a Water Hill sale
Each May, neighborhood musicians keep up a tradition of playing on front porches and in yards. If your home is on the market then, it's a chance for buyers to see that side of the neighborhood, and the marketing can mention it.
Whenever you list, a paid social media campaign reaches buyers in and around Ann Arbor during your home's first two weeks, and I keep a checklist from listing day to closing.
