We Know What Makes Your Home Sell

Selling Your Home In 9 steps
1. Home Visit
One of the Upstate Curious Team's dedicated listing agents will schedule a time to come to your home to answer any and all questions you have about the process, determine value, and discuss anything we'd recommend you could do to improve the property prior to sale.
2. Property Prep
Your listing agent will help you find the best local craftspeople to fix things up before listing (download our app to crowdsource vendors or sell items you don’t need!). Showing the house clean, fresh, and with pared-down furnishings goes a long way to getting you top dollar.
3. Marketing
We tailor a unique marketing strategy to each property's characteristics, doing what we believe will be best to sell it. Once your house is ready, our photographer will take magazine-quality photos, and we do virtual staging to help buyers envision their lives there.
4. Showings
The Upstate Curious Team's goal is always to get you multiple offers so you get the highest price, and have backups ready to go. We’ll set you up with a secure digital account to approve showings, and keep you 100% in the loop on all feedback and activity (online and off) throughout this period.
5. Offers
As offers start to come in, we’ll help you sort through the various conditions, pros/cons, and negotiate till you’re happy with the results. Our advice will always be based on your specific sale goals, whether you need to move quickly or focus on the highest number.
6. Inspection
Buyers will in bring their own home inspector — hence fixes before listing. ;) After inspection, there may be some requests to negotiate via your agent. You’ll also meet your Transaction Coordinator at this point, who will work with your agent at every step of the closing process.
7. Contract
Your attorney (we have recs if you need someone!) will draft the contract and hold the deposit in escrow. At this point, you’re just waiting for the buyers to get their financing in order (if applicable) and for the municipal and title searches to be completed.
8. Closing
Your attorney will reach out to schedule the closing, and we’ll help make sure you have everything done that you’ve agreed to in negotiations (small fixes, leaving furniture, etc.). We’ll try to make this last stretch as easy as possible for you!
9. Stay in touch
Whether you stay in the area (hopefully with the help of one of our team’s buyer’s agents!) or move away, we’re always happy to hear from you and help you with anything you might need around our Hudson Valley and Catskills communities.
Our Pricing Strategy
Our real estate experts will use the most accurate method to price your home
The right price for your property is not determined by any agent or seller - it's determined by current market conditions. We plug into rich, up-to-date MLS data to select 5 active, 5 pending, and 5 sold properties that are comparable to your home. Combined with our in-depth knowledge of market statistics, this method assures we market your property correctly so that your listing sells when you want for the price you deserve.

We Make Your Listing Shine
Magazine-Worthy photos from our staff photographer, video tours, and more
Today's home buyers are armed with more information than ever. They tell their agents which homes they want to see — and they've already rejected listings with too few or poor quality photos. It is absolutely vital that your online listing has high-impact photos to make a lasting first impression and create a desire to see more.
