Two agents, one listing
You are not hiring one agent. You are hiring both of us.
Christopher Hysell and Kayvan Danford work every listing together. That means two people at the pricing conversation, two people reading each offer, and two phones that answer when a buyer's agent calls on a Saturday. Nothing waits for one person to get back from holiday.
What your listing gets
Marketing that is done, not promised
Every listing gets all of this. There is no tier, and it does not scale with your sale price.
Photographed properly, by us
Christopher shoots listings himself, so the photography is not booked out to whoever was available. Detail is what sells a house online, because the photos are the first showing every buyer attends.
Two tours, not one
Your home gets a dedicated Zillow and Trulia tour alongside the standard tour used for the MLS, realtor.com and Redfin. Listings carrying a tour hold a buyer's attention longer than listings that do not, and they are easier to find.
The little video icon on Redfin
We upload your property's video tour to YouTube and link it to the MLS. Redfin pulls it through and marks your listing with a video icon, which is a small thing that makes your home the one a buyer stops scrolling on.
Booklets, not a folded flyer
Every open house comes with custom printed booklets carrying far more information than a single sheet. Every listing, at any price. A buyer who takes something real home with them remembers which house it was.
How it goes
From first conversation to sold
- 01We sit down first. Before anything is listed we walk the house with you and talk honestly about whether moving is even the right call this year. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.
- 02We price it together. You see the same comparable sales we see. Pricing is a conversation, not a number handed to you.
- 03We get it ready. Repairs worth doing, and the ones not worth your money. We will tell you which is which.
- 04Marketing gets built before it goes live. Photos, both tours, video and booklets are finished first. A listing only debuts once.
- 05Both of us work the offers. Every offer is read by two agents, and the commission a buyer's agent asks for is negotiable like everything else in it.
- 06Through to close. Inspections, appraisal, escrow, keys. You will always know which of us is handling what.
How we work
Not a set-and-forget listing
It is easy to take shortcuts in this business. List low, upload photos to the MLS, move on to the next one. That is not how either of us works.
The detail is the value
We built our reputation on the belief that attention to detail is what sells a home for what it is actually worth. From the photographs to how the listing is written on Redfin and the MLS, the small things compound.
Built on referrals
You will see us showcasing the homes we represent far more than we advertise ourselves. That is deliberate. The referral model only works if the service is genuinely good.
We live here
Our office is at 158 N Glendora Ave in the Village. We keep the school, utility and dining guides on this site current because those are the questions people actually ask us before they move.
Ready when you are
Start with a conversation, not a contract. Ask us what your home is likely worth today and what we would do to get you more for it. If the answer is that this is not your year to move, that is a perfectly good outcome and it costs you nothing to find out.
