Selling in the Roanoke Valley
Let’s make the move the easy part.
Selling a home is a big decision, and you shouldn’t have to guess your way through it. Here’s how it works from our first conversation to the day you hand over the keys, in plain English. Find out what your home could sell for, or grab the free guide and read it at your own pace.
Before we put up a sign
Three things worth settling first
You don’t need a finished plan to call me. These three questions shape everything else, so we’ll talk them through together.
Your timeline
Do you need to be out by a certain date, or can you wait for the right buyer? Knowing when you want to be moved tells us how to plan everything from prep to pricing.
Your number
It’s not just the sale price, it’s what you walk away with. We’ll look at what you owe, what it costs to sell, and what you need to make your next step work.
Your home
What’s worth fixing, and what isn’t? I’ll walk through your home with you and give you an honest list, so you don’t spend money that won’t come back.
Your path from listing to keys
Six steps, and I’m with you for every one
Here’s the road ahead, so nothing about the process feels like a surprise.
Marketing analysis & pricing
We look at what homes like yours have actually sold for, not just what’s listed. I like to price right at the round number, like $350,000 instead of $349,900, so buyers searching with a $350,000 minimum still see your home.
Home preparation & staging
We go room by room and decide what helps and what doesn’t. Often it’s decluttering, a deep clean and small fixes, not a big remodel.
Marketing & showings
Your home goes live where buyers are looking, and I handle the showings and feedback so you can keep living your life.
Offers & negotiation
When offers come in, I’ll explain what each one really means, price, terms, timing and risk, and negotiate for the best outcome for you.
Contract & paperwork
Inspections, appraisals and a lot of signatures. I keep track of every deadline and keep you posted along the way.
Closing & beyond
We cross the finish line together, and you’ll still have me as your Realtor for life, whether you’re buying again or just have a question down the road.

In their words
What my sellers say
There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are for Leslie. She has been our realtor for years, helping us purchase two investment properties, but most recently, she helped us sell our very first home—a home that held so many memories and was incredibly difficult for us to say goodbye to. Selling your first home is so much more than a real estate transaction. It’s where milestones happen, where memories are made, and where a chapter of your life comes to an end. Leslie understood that. She never treated us like just another client. She walked alongside us through every emotion, answered every question, and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even exciting. Her knowledge, professionalism, and communication are second to none, but what truly makes Leslie special is how much she genuinely cares about the people she works with. We always felt like she had our best interests at heart and wanted what was best for our family. She celebrated with us, encouraged us when things felt stressful, and was there every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy, incredibly hardworking, and truly invested in her clients, Leslie is the realtor you want in your corner. We are so thankful for everything she’s done for our family over the years, and we can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such important moments in our lives. Thank you, Leslie, for helping us close one beautiful chapter and begin another. We’ll always be grateful.

Good questions
Things sellers ask me
Do I need to fix everything before I list?
No. Most homes don’t need a big remodel. I’ll walk through with you and tell you honestly what’s worth doing, usually cleaning, decluttering and small repairs, and what you can skip.
How do you decide what my home is worth?
I look at homes that have actually sold near you, compare size, condition and location, and talk through the market with you. Then we settle on a price strategy together.
What does it cost to sell?
I’ll lay out the costs plainly and show you your estimated net before you decide anything, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
Can I buy my next home at the same time?
Yes, and I can help with both sides. We’ll plan the timing together so you’re not stuck with two homes or no home.
I’m not ready to list yet. Should I still reach out?
Absolutely. Many of my clients start talking with me months ahead. The guide and a home value are a good place to begin, with no pressure.
Ready when you are
Whether you’re listing this month or just starting to wonder, I’d love to help you plan the move.
