  • About Dave Johnson

Helping Sellers Avoid Costly Missteps

Selling a home in Chicago requires more than choosing a list price. Dave helps sellers evaluate market demand, prepare the property, compare nearby sales, review buyer behavior, and avoid pricing decisions that can lead to longer days on market or weaker offers.

From pricing and positioning to offer review and negotiation, the goal is to help you sell with a clear plan instead of relying on guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by reviewing your home’s current value, nearby comparable sales, buyer demand, property condition, and likely competition. These factors help determine pricing and preparation before listing.

The right pricing strategy should consider recent local sales, active listings, property condition, neighborhood demand, and how quickly similar homes are moving.

Offer strength depends on price, financing type, inspection terms, appraisal risk, contingencies, earnest money, and the buyer’s closing timeline.

A strong offer is not always the highest offer. Sellers should review financing, contingencies, closing date, inspection terms, and certainty of closing.

Avoid overpricing, skipping basic preparation, using weak listing photos, ignoring market feedback, and accepting an offer without reviewing the full terms.

Yes. Dave can review your property, neighborhood sales, current competition, and market demand to help estimate a realistic selling range.

“I went in thinking I just needed to list and wait. Dave slowed things down and walked me through how buyers would actually see my home compared to others in the same price range. We made a few adjustments before listing, which completely changed the response. It didn’t feel like guesswork anymore.”
