What to expect
How it works: the process for selling a Seattle area luxury home
Preparing
You talk; we listen. We’ll begin the process by listening to what your biggest concerns are, and what your ultimate goals are. Once you’re comfortable with the home selling process, then we’ll talk about what is possible for you, and we will craft a plan that will help you attain your goals. All the while respecting the commensurate level of privacy and discretion.
Proper Pricing and Preparation
Two of the most important aspects of getting you results are the proper preparation and pricing of your home. After doing a thorough walkthrough of your home, we will help you decide what types of things need to be done in order to maximize your net proceeds, and minimize the time on market. And, don’t worry… we’ve got people that can help do the work! Next, we’ll do the proper due diligence, and share with you what is happening in the market, how your home stacks up, and what you can expect to net from the sale.
Crafting and Executing the Marketing Plan
Homes of significance, whether architecturally or otherwise, require a particular marketing focus. As unique as your estate is, so shall be the marketing. We’ll go over the details of this with you as we craft our marketing plan. Then, we launch! As we’re listed, one thing that our clients really appreciate is the weekly update, which will illustrate what our team has done to market your home, how effective those efforts have been, and feedback from agents that have shown the home.
Negotiating the Best Terms
Once we’ve attracted an offer, we’ll negotiate powerfully on your behalf to make sure that you’re getting the best possible terms. Whether it’s a higher price, tighter contingency timelines or more favorable closing date, we’ll do what it takes to get you the best deal with the best chances of a smooth, on-time closing.
Escrow
Escrow is the stage at which we work through all of the contingencies of the contract. Among the plethora of items we’ll track are; negotiating potential inspection items, making any necessary repairs, making sure that the buyer’s financing stays on track, and making sure that there are no issues with title. Just as during the marketing stage, we’ll be by your side throughout this process, making sure you are comfortable and informed all along the way.
Closing
The end of the process is sometimes the most stressful, as you work to pack and coordinate your move. Again, we’re there by your side, advocating for you. We’ll get there.
The Check
Congratulations! Your home is sold and closed. You should receive your money within 2 days of closing!

Our real estate team provides a transparent, compassionate, and dare we say fun experience for buyers, sellers, and investors of residential real estate across the Seattle area.
I’m very happy with my results
Aaron first caught my attention when I was buying from his team. Their eye for staging and aesthetics are spot on, and as a buyer, I was impressed at their negotiations and follow-up.
When it came time to sell my condo, I compared their offerings across several options (Redfin, Redfin + concierge, other agents) and felt that I’d get the level of attention I need to deal with the market and the unique circumstances I was in, and get the value-add of incredible staging that they provide as part of their package to boost my unit’s appeal.
I’m very happy with my results – we sold the condo quicker than I was expecting during a slow market AND the slow holiday season, without having to undercut my price point.
In addition to the results, Aaron and his team made the in-betweens very easy — they coordinated and managed updates, had beautiful staging (I literally gasped when I walked in and second-guessed if I wanted to sell), implemented a thorough cross-channel marketing plan, took care of unforeseen bumps with a positive attitude that kept me hopeful and at ease, coached me through multiple offers, and ultimately landed a happy and well-qualified buyer.
The cherry on top is that Aaron and team inject some fun and quirk into their practice (watch their home tour videos!), which for me gives some memorable personality to this whole endeavor. Thank you, Aaron, Diane, Belinda, and Brett, for all your hard work and seamless teamwork!

A success story: selling a Seattle area luxury home
From nervous to thrilled
The Clients
The Silvers are lovers of art and culture, travel, and all the finer things in life. He is a doctor, and she, an artist. They lived in one of the most storied and prestigious neighborhoods in the Puget Sound region. Opportunities arose that necessitated a move out of the Pacific Northwest.
The Big Concerns
Like many sellers, their top concern was what they would walk away with after the sale, as this would dictate what they would be able to get in New York City, which is where they were heading. However, also of critical importance to them was how their architecturally significant estate would be marketed, how savvy their agent would be when it came to negotiating the best deal, and how well they could help mitigate the stress involved in such a transition.
The Process
By the time the Silvers were referred to the JanusGroup by a trusted advisor, they had already had several conversations with other agents who had listed other homes in their neighborhood in the past. However, they valued the more innovative, holistic approach that the marketing team at the JanusGroup employed. They appreciated the idea that a well-crafted, compelling story combined with an aggressive and targeted marketing campaign would yield them the best offer.
The Outcome
Having done several walkthroughs with both Aaron, his interior designer/home stager, as well as Brett, the JanusGroup’s Marketing Manager, the team was ready to get to work. And they did. After a lot of due diligence, a beautiful message was crafted. Pair this with best-in-class photography and filmmaking, an innovative media blitz, including features in Dwell Magazine and Curbed, targeted marketing to the team’s deep network of Luxury Agents across the country, and unprecedented engagement on social media – results
were bound to be successful.
Within 12 days, after some savvy scheduling of personal tours, two interested buyers had surfaced.
Because the JanusGroup was able to leverage the two offers off of each other, the winner ended up escalating nearly 3% over the asking price, as well as offering several other very favorable terms, including a generous rent-back, which the Silvers appreciated, as they ended up selling much faster than they had expected.
In a neighborhood where market times are typically measured in months, and list-to-sale price ratios are typically below 100%, the Silvers enjoyed a quick and profitable sale, and were able to move on with life and new beginnings.
