Working with Shawn Watson - Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get a pricing estimate for my home?
Same day in most cases. Call or text (503) 440-2039 and we will review recent activity and give you a clear range with a first-week launch plan.
Do you cover multiple cities or just one neighborhood?
Multiple cities. The monthly notes help you compare pace and pricing across nearby areas so you can move with confidence if your target home appears in an adjacent town.
What is the best timing to list?
We will align launch with current inventory, buyer traffic, and your prep timeline. Clean photos, smart pricing bands, and momentum in week one matter more than the day of the week.
Should I get pre-approved before touring?
Yes. A strong pre-approval shapes your search and makes your offer competitive. We can coordinate intros if you need a fast turnaround.
Do you help with rentals?
Yes. We handle tenant screening, showings, and paperwork, and we will set expectations on timing and required documentation up front.
Can you work with investors?
Absolutely. We will review cap rate, rent comps, and exit options by neighborhood so you understand the trade-offs before you write.
What if I am buying and selling at the same time?
We will map both timelines, discuss contingencies, and prepare backup paths so you avoid gaps between closings.
How often are these market notes updated?
New articles are posted throughout the month as activity shifts. Check your target city for the latest read on pricing and pace.
Can I request a free home value review?
Yes. Share your address and timing and we will send a simple valuation range with the three steps that will help you capture stronger offers.
How quickly can we tour a home?
Often same day. Text the address to (503) 440-2039 and we will coordinate access and prep your offer strategy if you love it.
