Our Process
BUYING AND SELLING AT THE
SAME TIME?
YES, you can buy & sell at the same time.
Better yet—you can do it WITHOUT having to put your life on hold.
Buying your first home is one of the most exciting milestones in life! But when the time comes to make an upgrade, things can feel a biiiit complicated. Why? Because there isn’t just one, but TWO houses you have to coordinate.
If you’re ready to begin the search for your next home, you’re probably wondering...
“But Kelley, which comes first: the BUYING part, or the SELLING part? And how the heck do we make both work at the same time?!”
Hold it right there, friend. You have OPTIONS, and you also have The Real Estate Collective on your side. Our proven process to get you from START to SOLD without putting your life on hold.
Eliminating stress - how do we eliminate stress. Planning a head of time.
STEP 1: PREPARE
Get your home ready to list with any final upgrades & renovations. (Hint: You don’t & shouldn’t have to spend TONS of time or money on this!)
STEP 2: PERFECT
Our staging expert will get your home looking picture-perfect for listing photos & showings so you can really sell those potential buyers!
STEP 3: PRESENT
Showtime, baby! Our team will make sure every corner of your house is looking its absolute best so you’ll feel confident knowing quality offers will be coming in.
Here’s our Proven Process at work...
“This was our third buy and second sell with Kelley and her team. She is and has always been patient and kind when dealing with us, but she also isn't afraid to tell you the truth. She's become a true friend through all of our interactions, and we enjoy working with her. She will walk you through the entire process, enlisting the help of other specialists to help you buy and sell fast. If you need an amazing realtor to help you buy, sell or both, Kelley should be your first call.” - John Robinson
“Kelley and team are amazing to work with! Helped us close on a property within 2 weeks, and kept us informed every step of the way. Will definitely work with her in the future! “- Lindsay Reichenberg
“Kelley did an amazing job selling our house! The photos, video, and social media content were incredible. She got TONS of eyeballs on our property and I’m convinced that’s why we had multiple offers in 2 weeks. She made everything so easy, we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way, and we are just so grateful for her!” - Libby Fehr

A closer look into our 3-step Proven Process.
Step 1: Prepare
Preparation is KEY! Certain projects hold certain weight. If you’re wondering what you should be updating in your home (if anything), our team of experts will guide you to making the best decisions to get the most bang for your buck—with as little stress as possible.
Working with The Tounsley Group gives you access to our exclusive list of preferred contractors so we can make your property shine!
Step 2: Perfect
Did you know that 81% (YES, 81%!!!) of buyers say home staging makes it easier to visualize your property as their future home!
This is exactly why we offer staging services on every single one of our listings. Whether you’re moving out before listing your home for sale, or staying put during the showing process, our staging professionals will step in to arrange your home in a way that will have your potential buyers thinking about your home nonstop.
Step 3: Present
Once your home is looking picture perfect from floor to ceiling, it’s time to show it off to the world! (The wild world of Zillow, that is. 😉)
The truth is that you only have 0.5 SECONDS to win a buyer’s attention, and most buyers are searching online—just like you! That’s why professional photography is so, so important.
The Tounsley Group brings in a professional photographer to all of our clients’ homes so you can put the iPhone camera away and leave it to the professionals to capture your beautiful home for you!
Buying & Selling at the same time?
Let’s talk options!
Coordinating the sale of your current home and purchase of your new home may seem tricky, but it doesn’t have to be! Our team will work with you to discuss the options that make most sense for your unique situation, so that you don’t have to completely disrupt your life to make it happen.
