Selling Your Home



Clients of The Creig Northrop Team interact with a three-tiered partnership comprised of a Sales Agent, a Home Marketing Consultant and a Client Care Coordinator. This approach leads to extraordinary customer service, and ensures customer delight.

Priding ourselves on our advanced thinking and strategic approach, no two property sales are treated the same. Why? Simply because every property has its own features and every situation is different, therefore the property sales process MUST surround the needs of the owner.

Selling Your Home

Redefining the Way You Look at Real Estate

One of the first things we do to prepare your home for sale is to provide a staging consultation. Our Home Marketing Consultants possess the skills of a top-level designer and they create dramatic scenery that appeals to a broad spectrum of buyers. Their job is to stage your home to make it look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more inviting, and, best of all, make home buyers want to buy it. They are trained experts who have staged hundreds of homes for sale. They write compelling copy and choose your home’s best photos for marketing. Their tips can increase your home’s value, and most importantly, this is a complimentary service for ALL of our clients.

We create elegant full color brochures to display both inside and outside the home. Pricing information is readily accessible and inquiries on your property are tracked and cultivated into leads.

We price your home with laser-like clarity. Price is the most critical item that both buyers and Real Estate Agents look to when selecting homes to view. The advantages of “right pricing” your home far outweigh the disadvantages. The choice will always be yours, as the seller. It is the job of our Team to show you current market conditions and the pricing of similar homes that have sold in your area.

There’s only one number one and that’s The Creig Northrop Team of Long & Foster® Real Estate. Our team achieved the # 1 status on this year’s Top 1000 Real Estate Professionals list by Real TRENDS in conjunction with LORE Magazine and The Wall Street Journal, putting Maryland on the real estate map as the most successful market in the country.
