Services

Focused help for every side of a move

Whichever direction you are heading, you work with me directly from the first call to completion day.

We shape a brief around how you actually live, then I shortlist, view and assess homes so your time goes only to the ones worth seeing.

  • A written brief and search plan
  • Honest notes on every viewing
  • Offer strategy and negotiation

Selling your home

A considered pricing conversation, practical preparation advice and marketing that shows your home at its best to the right buyers.

  • Pricing grounded in real comparables
  • Styling and preparation checklist
  • Weekly progress updates

Relocating

Moving from further away? I become your eyes on the ground with neighbourhood briefings, recorded walk-throughs and a plan built around your dates.

  • Neighbourhood orientation
  • Remote video viewings
  • A timeline that fits your move

Homes I know well

From family houses to city apartments

I spend my days inside these kinds of homes, so I can tell you what matters, what to check and what is simply cosmetic.

How we work together

Four steps, no surprises

You always know what happens next, who is doing it and roughly when.

  1. Conversation

    A relaxed first call about your goals, timing and budget. No obligation, no pressure.

  2. Plan

    A written plan covering pricing or search criteria, preparation and a realistic timeline.

  3. Market & view

    Viewings, feedback and offers handled carefully, with clear updates every week.

  4. Negotiate & close

    I negotiate on your behalf and keep every party moving until the keys change hands.

About Maren

Straight answers, careful work and your interests first

I work independently, which means a small number of clients at a time and a direct line to the person actually handling your sale or search.

My approach is simple: tell you the truth about the market, prepare thoroughly and stay calm when negotiations get tense. The best move is one you feel good about long after the boxes are unpacked.

  • DirectYou deal with me, not a rotating team.
  • PreparedEvery decision backed by clear reasoning.
  • DiscreetYour plans stay private until you are ready.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How are your fees structured?

Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins and depend on the type of help you need. We will talk it through on our first call so there is nothing unexpected later.

How long does selling usually take?

It varies with the home, the season and the price. After seeing your property I will give you an honest estimate and a timeline we can plan around.

Do you work with first-time buyers?

Yes, often. I explain each step in plain language, help you understand what to look for at viewings and walk you through making an offer.

Can you help if I am moving from another city?

Absolutely. Remote viewings, neighbourhood briefings and a flexible schedule mean you can make a confident decision before you arrive.
