Home Selling Services
The Shipley Co. offers a proactive approach to selling homes.
We’ve taken this same approach with land for years by obtaining surveys and soil evaluations before bringing properties to market whenever appropriate. Now, we’re applying that philosophy to homes. Do the work upfront. Get the information. Address what we can. Know what we can't. Then go to market.
And for buyers, it means fewer surprises and a better understanding of what they are purchasing before they get too far into the transaction.
A pre-inspection gives the seller an opportunity to:
- Identify potential issues before listing
- Address repairs that could become deal breakers later
- Obtain estimates or quotes for items they choose not to repair
- Understand the condition of the home and price accordingly
- Give prospective buyers more information upfront
- Reduce surprises and renegotiations during due diligence
- Create a smoother, more predictable transaction
This is a lot of additional work on our end. Coordinating inspections, reviewing reports, talking through findings with sellers, getting estimates and helping determine what should—and shouldn't—be addressed before listing takes time.
But we believe that investment of time upfront can pay off significantly once the home is under contract. Our goal isn't to make every home perfect. Our goal is to make sure everyone goes into the transaction to get to the closing table.

"In a word, Meg is outstanding. She was more than engaged throughout the selling process with an extremely high level of personal attention and interest in our home that was so much appreciated. Her guidance and suggestions helped us with everything from pricing to certain reasonable home improvements that positioned us better in the market. When purchase offers came in, she was invaluable with the typical back & forth -- and then again when an offer was accepted and we went through inspection and closing. And through it all, she was simply the most pleasant and down-to-earth realtor we could ever hope for."
"I guess it's obvious. Simply stated, we can't recommend Meg Shipley strongly enough!"
