Selling with a broker, start to finish
How I sell homes in the Imperial Valley
When you list with Annette Fortier, the broker who prices your home is the same person who markets it, negotiates it, and closes it. Here is exactly what happens.
The process, in five steps
1. Pricing strategy
Annette walks your home and prepares a personal market analysis from recent Valley sales — not an online estimate. You'll see what comparable homes sold for, how long they took, and what that means for your price.
2. Prep and staging advice
A short list of what's worth doing before photos and what isn't. Annette can connect you with local painters, cleaners, and handymen she trusts if you need them.
3. Professional photos
Every listing gets professional photography. For most homes we add a floor plan and a 3D walkthrough so buyers can see the whole home before they ask to visit.
4. Marketing where Valley buyers actually look
The MLS and the major portals, our local Facebook audience, an email to buyers already looking in your area, and a just-listed postcard to the neighbors when it fits the property.
5. Negotiation and closing, by the broker
Annette presents every offer with a plain-English comparison, negotiates on your behalf, and manages escrow, inspections, and repairs through to recording. You always know what's next.
