I have been on your side of this.

I am Holly Marie Thomson, a Realtor® with Keller Williams Capital Partners, working across Central Ohio from our office in Worthington. Most of my work is with families selling a home during a divorce, or after somebody has died and the house has become part of an estate.

I did not choose that specialism on a whiteboard. I went through both, and I remember how it felt to be handed a market analysis by somebody who clearly wanted the listing and did not particularly want the conversation. What I needed was someone to explain, calmly and once, what my choices actually were.

So that is what I do. I value the house properly, I write down what each option would mean in money and in time, and then I stop. If you want to sell, I will run the sale carefully and quietly. If you do not, that is a perfectly good outcome and it costs you nothing.

Outside of work I am in Plain City with my family, and I spend more time in these towns than most people who sell houses in them do.
