The preparation is the strategy.

What she does for a listing

A plan with a calendar

The first meeting ends with a written game plan: what to fix, what to leave alone, what to spend and what not to, and a date for photography. One seller whose condo had sat five months with another brokerage received the plan at the second meeting and closed before the holidays.

Preparation and staging

Alesia coordinates the work herself or connects you with the handypeople, painters and stagers she uses, and she is specific — down to the light fixtures and window coverings that will read well in photographs. Compass Concierge can front the cost of approved improvements, repaid at closing, when that makes sense.

Pricing from real comparables

Not an algorithm’s estimate: the homes on your blocks that have actually closed, adjusted for condition and for what she sees in showings that week. She will tell you the number she believes in, and the number that is wishful.

Marketing that reaches the buyer, not just the internet

Professional photography, the Compass network of agents and their buyers, Coming Soon and private-exclusive exposure when it serves you, and her own list of buyers looking in your neighborhood. She is at the property before showings to make sure it looks the way it did in the photos.

Negotiation through closing

Multiple offers are managed for the best terms, not only the highest number. Inspection objections are negotiated, not simply conceded. Her sales include a Baker Victorian at $65,000 over asking, a Congress Park bungalow at $92,000 over, and a Sloan’s Lake ranch at $53,000 over.

Out-of-state and inherited property

Some of Alesia’s listing work is for owners who no longer live in Denver — former rentals, inherited homes, relocations. She can manage the process from tenant move-out to closing, often without the owner needing to fly in.
