Sell Your Home in the Portland Metro

I have helped buyers and sellers across the Portland Metro since 2007. Every sale starts with one question: what do you need from the sale of this home to reach your next goal? From there I build the plan, price the home and handle the details so you are never guessing about what comes next.

The Listing Process

My 12 Step Listing Process

Selling a home is a series of decisions, and my job is to make each one clear. Tap any step to read what happens and what I handle for you along the way.

Prep

Getting Your Home Ready

A little prep goes a long way. These are the seven things I have my sellers focus on first.

Book a staging consultation

A professional eye helps you see your home the way a buyer will, before the photos are taken.

Declutter and clear counters

Clear kitchen and bathroom counters so the space reads roomy and clean in photos and in person.

Remove personal items

Take down family photos and personal items so buyers can picture themselves living there.

Maximize the light

Open window coverings, turn on the lights and add lamps so every room feels bright and welcoming.

Stay show ready

Keep the home tidy for last minute showings, so you are never scrambling when a buyer wants in.

Plan for pets

Make a plan for pets and household schedules during showings so everyone stays comfortable.

Refresh the landscaping

If the landscaping needs it, a little freshening up goes a long way at the front door.

A Buyer Confidence Boost

Should You Offer a Home Warranty?

A home warranty is a one year service agreement that covers repair or replacement of many major home systems and appliances that wear out over time. Offering one in your contract can give buyers extra confidence, and it can help protect your budget from unexpected covered issues while your home is on the market.

Coverage varies by plan, so we read the details together before deciding.

Items commonly covered

  • Heating
  • Ductwork
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing stoppages
  • Water heater
  • Garage door openers
  • Dishwasher
  • Oven and range
  • Built in microwave
  • Garbage disposal

Beyond Closing

After the Sale

My service to my clients does not end at closing. I am always available to answer questions about the market, refer contractors for remodel work, or help with investment property.

My goal in every transaction is a lifelong relationship, and the greatest compliment I can receive is a referral to your friends and family.

In a Client's Words

A quick sale, in her own words

“Jill was a superhero in the quick sale of my house. She is very communicative, was at the house and coordinating repairs when I couldn't be there and had a guy for every issue that popped up. She was there with pep talks, hugs and lists to help me get it all done. I would definitely use her again. So easy to work with, highly recommend! I worked with Jill again to buy a house. She was the best. She made a stressful, overwhelming process so easy and fun. My partner and I would spend every Sunday afternoon house hunting with her. We had so much fun, almost wish we were still doing it. We did find the perfect house for us. I am so happy. Could not recommend Jill highly enough. She knows her stuff and is easy to work with. Whatever your housing needs she is your girl!”

Client Testimonial

From one of my clients

Client testimonial

“I can't say enough GREAT things about Jill Hill. She worked with us for over 2 years, while we decided whether to buy land and build or buy an existing house, sell our house and ultimately buy acreage to build on. She was EXTREMELY patient, kind, available when we needed her, never made us feel like we were a bother, just everything you'd want in a good Realtor who I can actually call a great friend. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jill Hill if you are looking to buy and/or sell a home. She's FANTASTIC!!!!”

— Jayn, client

Zillow Review

A two year journey, in their words

“Two of my kids had used Jill when buying and selling their homes and were so pleased that, when after 30 years in our home we decided to sell, we contacted her. Little did we know that the whole process would take almost 2 years, due to circumstances beyond our control. Instead of buying a home, we decided to build and…”

Thinking About Selling? Let's Talk

Common Questions

Selling, answered

I prepare a market analysis based on recent comparable sales in your part of the Portland metro. We look at what similar homes have sold for, how they compare to yours, and what your goals are. That conversation drives the pricing strategy. It is my professional read on where your home fits in the current market, not an automated estimate.
