Are You Looking to Sell Your Forest Grove Home?

Selling your home can feel emotional and overwhelming. Whether you're moving out of state, downsizing, or ready to upgrade to something bigger, you want to get the best possible price without the stress.

I've been in real estate for over 20 years, and since moving to Forest Grove 8 years ago, I know exactly what buyers in this market are looking for.

Things to Consider
Before Selling Your Home

  • What's your realistic timeline for moving?

  • How's the current Forest Grove market for sellers?

  • What's your home actually worth in today's market?

  • Should you make repairs or sell as-is?

  • What's the best time of year to list in Forest Grove?

  • How will you handle showings and open houses?

  • What's your plan if you need to buy before you sell?

  • What are the closing costs and taxes you'll pay?

  • How will you price competitively without leaving money on the table?

  • Do you need help staging or preparing your home for photos?

20+ Years of Proven Results

I've successfully guided hundreds of homeowners through the selling process, including both starter and luxury homes and properties.

I know what buyers are looking for, how to price homes competitively, and what it takes to get offers that close.

My approach is simple and straightforward: price it right, market it effectively, and negotiate the best deal. I don’t deal in gimmicks or unrealistic promises; just experienced and trustworthy guidance that gets you your dream home.

What Forest Grove Sellers Want to Know

"I don't know what my home is really worth"

I'll do a detailed Comparative Market Analysis using recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood, plus current market conditions. You'll know exactly where your home stands in today's market.

"I'm worried about pricing it wrong and losing money"

Price too high and your home sits on the market getting stale. Price too low and you leave money on the table. I'll help you find that sweet spot that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

"I don't know what to fix or improve before listing"

Some improvements pay off, others don't. I'll walk through your home and give you honest advice about what's actually worth doing and what isn't, based on your budget and timeline.

There were complicated issues with some of the financing and property details, but she was very responsive to telling us where she was at from her end, and making sure we had good info. Even after, she is helping us with researching some property rights issues to make sure we are on the right track. Thank you very much Cilicia!"

ABOUT CILICIA

Your Forest Grove Realtor

After 20+ years in real estate, I've learned that buying or selling a home is about so much more than square footage and price per square foot.

It's about where your kids will grow up, where you'll host holidays, or starting your next adventure.

That's why I approach every transaction as your facilitator and matchmaker, not your salesperson. I genuinely care about finding you the right fit - whether that takes two weeks or two months or longer.

My clients tell me they appreciate having someone who actually listens and puts their interests first. That's not just good business to me - it's the right way to help people with their biggest life decisions.
