A Note From Steven

You've put care into this home. Let's get you a fair price and a smooth path to your next chapter.

Selling a home is one of the biggest transactions you'll ever make, and I treat it with the same precision, integrity, and discipline I brought to a career in the Navy. My approach is hands-on and thorough, and I do the due diligence up front so nothing surprises you later.

I work with cabin owners, land owners, second-home sellers, and families across Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Star Valley, and all of Rim Country. With more than 33 homes sold and over $3 million in annual sales volume each of the past two years, I know how to get a property sold at a fair price.

My goal is simple: lay out the pros and cons honestly, keep you informed at every step, and make the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. If you're ready to start, the process below is exactly how we'll work together. And if you're on the other side of the table, read the buyer's guide.

Step by Step

How does the selling process work in Rim Country?

In short: it's seven clear steps, from our first conversation to handing over the keys. Here's what each one looks like when we work together.

01

Start with a free consultation and home evaluation

We'll sit down together, and I'll walk through your home inside and out. I'll put together a comparative market analysis (CMA) built on recent sales of similar homes in your area, so you see what your property is realistically worth before we ever talk about a price.

02

Get your home pre-listing ready

We'll go through your home room by room and decide what's worth fixing and what's best left alone. I'll give you honest guidance on pricing and point out the simple, high-impact touches that help your home show its best without overspending.

03

Market it the right way

Professional photography, thoughtful listing placement, and my marketing network across Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Star Valley, and the rest of Rim Country. Your home gets in front of the right buyers from day one.

04

Showings and open houses, on your schedule

We'll set up showings and open houses on a plan that works for you. Seller-friendly scheduling means your home gets attention without taking over your routine.

05

Review offers and negotiate with your interests first

When offers come in, I'll walk you through every one and negotiate with your interests front and center. You'll understand each term, not just the price, so you can accept with confidence.

06

Handle inspections, appraisals, and due diligence

After you accept an offer, inspections and appraisals follow. I'll be there to navigate issues as they come up, so a surprise becomes a plan instead of a problem.

07

Close, with the paperwork handled end to end

I'll manage the paperwork from start to finish and coordinate with the title company and everyone else involved. On closing day, you hand over the keys with confidence, knowing every detail was handled.

Honest Pricing

What is my Rim Country home really worth?

That's the question every seller asks, and the honest answer comes from the data. I put together a comparative market analysis (CMA) using CAAR/MLS records of recent sales of similar homes in your area, then layer in current market conditions to give you a realistic range, not a guess.
