Listing Launch Email + Process


Step-by-Step Listing Launch Process:

  1. Confirm Property Readiness:
    • Ensure photos are received
    • Confirm property is vacant or move-in ready
    • Confirm any make-ready items are complete
  2. Run Comps + Determine Suggested Rate:
    • Review similar properties on the market (area, beds/baths, condition/ school zoning/ subdivision)
    • Always run comps day before or day of listing.
    • Define a comps range
    • Select a suggested list price based on condition and market timing
    • Create marketing verbiage and a clear title based on the home, photos, facts of the property. CHAT GPT can help here if you provide the clear address, bed bath count, sqft, and photos.
  3. Send Internal Email for Approval:

    Use the format below to email Adrienne to confirm listing rate and comps / marketing verbiage

  4. Wait for Approval:

    Once approved, send confirmation and comps to the owner and move forward with listing the home.

Great news -
