Why list with me
An Honest Number, and a Real Strategy
Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you'll make, and it deserves more than a sign in the yard. You'll get a real read on what your home is worth, marketing that actually makes it stand out, and someone who answers her own phone every step of the way.
My clients keep coming back and sending their friends — not because I told them what they wanted to hear, but because I told them the truth and got them to the closing table.
What's My Home Worth?
A real pricing read on your Lexington home — comps, condition, and current demand, not an automated guess.
Before you list
Get Your Home Ready to Sell
- Start with the right price
The single biggest lever. We price from real comps and current demand — never wishful thinking that makes your home sit.
- Declutter and depersonalize
Help buyers picture their life here, not yours. A clean, open home photographs better and shows better.
- Handle the small repairs
The sticky door, the running toilet, the scuffed trim. I'll tell you which fixes are worth it and which to skip.
- Freshen the curb appeal
The first impression happens before anyone walks in. A tidy yard and a clean entry earn the showing.
- Professional photography
Most buyers meet your home online first. Real, beautiful photos are non-negotiable — and they're on me.
How I sell
A Plan to Get You Top Dollar
Price it right from day one
The first two weeks bring the most attention. We use that window instead of chasing the market down with price cuts.
Present it beautifully
Professional photography, staging guidance, and a listing that tells your home's story — so buyers connect before they arrive.
Put it in front of the right buyers
The MLS, the major search sites, social, and my network across Lexington — your home in front of everyone who should see it.
Negotiate hard for you
When offers come in, I protect your number and your timeline — and I handle inspection and closing so you don't have to.
In their words
What Sellers Say
I had to remember my google password to leave this review so you should know Raya is THAT worth it. She's beauty and she's grace. You'd be a fool not to work with her.
Good to know
Common Seller Questions
Not from an automated guess. I pull the true comparable sales, look closely at your home's condition and updates, and factor in what buyers are actually paying this month. You get an honest number and the reasoning behind it — whether or not you decide to list with me.
The main costs are the commission, any prep you choose to do, and standard closing costs. I'll walk you through all of it in plain numbers before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises at the closing table. My job is to net you more than that cost, not just to list the house.
It depends on price, condition, and the season — but well-priced, move-in-ready homes still sell quickly in Lexington. Overpricing is what makes a home sit. I watch the active and sold data every day, so I can tell you what to realistically expect for your home in your part of town.
Some updates pay you back and some don't — and I'd rather save you from spending money that won't move the price. Once I've walked your home, I'll tell you exactly which fixes are worth doing and which buyers won't care about. Sometimes the best move is doing less than you think.
I don't list your home and disappear. If the showings or offers aren't where they should be, we look honestly at price, presentation, and buyer feedback and adjust together. You'll always know where things stand and what we're doing about it.
