A costed prep list, photography produced in house by a professional, and pricing from the right pocket. 68 seller-side closings averaging $459,456.
A buyer decides whether to open your listing on one image, on a phone, in about two seconds. Everything downstream runs off that decision: the showings, the offers, the days on market, the price.
Which makes the hour before the camera comes out the highest-return hour in the whole sale, and almost nobody spends it well.
Melissa walks your house and hands you a specific, costed list. Then she photographs it herself, having shot listings professionally since 2016.
Specific items with prices next to them, and clear guidance on what to skip.
Comparable sales from your actual section, adjusted for condition. Rio Rancho alone has four pricing environments inside one city.
The fixes happen first. Then the shoot, produced in house, at the right hour for the way your house faces.
Broad syndication, built to earn attention in the first two weeks, which is the window that decides the outcome.
Negotiation on price, terms and the repair demands that follow inspection.
Title, funding, and the wire.

Almost always the cheap, visible things rather than a remodel. Melissa walks the property and gives you a specific list with costs: this wall, that fixture, these surfaces, the front door, the yard. Sellers consistently describe the suggestions as valuable and inexpensive, which is the point.
Yes. She founded her own real estate photography company in 2016 and shot listings for other Albuquerque REALTORS before she was licensed. The photography is produced in house, not outsourced.
The first two weeks on market matter more than everything after them, because that is when a new listing gets peak attention. Correctly priced homes generally move inside that window. One recent Rio Rancho listing closed at $500,000 after thirteen days.
By hand, from recent comparable sales in your specific pocket, adjusted for condition and improvements. Not from an automated estimate, which cannot know what you renovated or which side of the street you are on.
New Mexico limits how much a residential property's assessed value can rise year over year for an existing owner, and that limit resets when the property changes hands. A buyer's tax bill can therefore be meaningfully higher than the one you have been paying. Informed buyers factor it in, so it is worth understanding before you price.
