What Lies Ahead When Selling Your Home in AZ
Selling a Home in the Phoenix & Tucson Metro Areas
We work with homeowners throughout Arizona who want a thoughtful, market-driven approach to selling their home.
Selling a home in Arizona is more than putting a sign in the yard — it’s a strategic journey that requires thoughtful preparation, accurate pricing, compelling presentation, and a clear understanding of how today’s buyers make decisions. At Croft N Croft Real Estate Concierges, we guide sellers throughout the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas with clarity, professionalism, and concierge-level support from start to finish.
Our goal is simple: to help your home stand out, compete confidently, and sell on the strongest terms possible. We partner with you to position your home for success, protect your interests, and create a selling process that is transparent, predictable, and rewarding.
Explore our seller services below to see how we prepare, position, and market your home with intention and care.
Understanding the Arizona Market
We are dedicated to protecting you.
Arizona’s real estate market moves quickly and visually. Modern buyers often decide which homes to tour — and which to pass on — before they ever arrive for a showing. Online photos, perceived condition, and overall presentation heavily influence buyer perception. Our approach ensures your home is prepared not just to be listed, but to be chosen.
Preparing Your
Home for Sale
Before your home goes live, we focus on preparation that improves buyer perception, reduces objections, and minimizes surprises during escrow. Preparation combines smart strategy with thoughtful presentation.
Preparation Services May Include:
-
Market-appropriate pricing guidance and timing strategy
-
Presentation and visual readiness recommendations
-
Decluttering and surface-level improvement guidance
-
Photography prep and online exposure strategy
As part of our Croft N Croft seller services, we offer multiple tools to help prepare your home for the market.

Tools & Services
Complimentary
Pre-Listing Home Inspection
A.
A pre-listing inspection is one of the most valuable tools available to sellers. Conducted by a licensed home inspector, this service helps identify potential issues early, reduce surprises during the buyer’s inspection, and allows you to address concerns proactively.
This inspection is offered as a complimentary service (value typically $500 and up), when appropriate.
Real Estate Stylist Review
This is not a home inspection.
The Real Estate Stylist Review is a buyer-focused, surface-level evaluation of how your home presents and what buyers will notice immediately.
Jan Croft (a licensed/certified stager) conducts a detailed walk-through of the property, reviewing visible elements such as:
-
Paint colors and overall visual flow
-
Cleanliness and surface condition
-
Clutter and scale
-
Finishes and presentation details
-
Exterior appearance and curb appeal
Areas that may distract buyers, suggest deferred maintenance, or negatively impact perceived value are clearly identified.
B.
Following the review, sellers receive a written list of actionable recommendations, often accompanied by photographs, outlining:
-
What should be addressed prior to listing
-
What can be improved cost-effectively
-
What can reasonably be left alone
If visually apparent conditions suggest the need for further professional evaluation, a recommendation may be made to consult an appropriate licensed specialist.

think of your home as a
retail window for buyers to view."
Support & Coordination
For our sellers, we offer flexible support options to help streamline preparation.
This may include:
-
Professional cleaning
-
Window washing
-
Paint refreshes
-
Minor surface-level repairs
-
Decluttering assistance
Select minor maintenance services may include complimentary labor when completed as part of our listing preparation strategy. Materials, specialized trades, or larger projects are not included unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
C.
We can also recommend trusted professionals for services outside the scope of included labor. Scheduling and coordination of third-party services is optional and available for an additional fee. Sellers are never required to use recommended vendors.
Listing, Marketing, and Exposure
Exposure matters — but informed exposure to the right agents and buyers is what drives results.
D.
Once your home is prepared, we implement a strategic marketing plan designed to generate genuine buyer interest, strong showings, and competitive offers — not just online views.
Our approach blends modern digital exposure with proven local, relationship-driven strategies that many listings never benefit from.
Our marketing includes:
-
Professional photography to ensure your home stands out online and in print
-
Strategic online exposure across major real estate platforms and buyer search channels
-
Compelling, accurate listing details that highlight value while setting realistic buyer expectations
-
Targeted local outreach, including neighborhood awareness and agent-to-agent marketing when appropriate
-
Real Estate Agent Home Tours, giving buyer agents firsthand experience with your home and increasing qualified buyer exposure
-
Inclusion in our weekly agent newsletter, distributed to 28,000+ local real estate agents, keeping your property top of mind within the agent community
-
Thoughtful showing and open house strategy, designed to create a calm, inviting buyer experience
-
Showing coordination and buyer feedback review to identify patterns and adjust strategy quickly
We closely monitor buyer activity, market response, and days-on-market trends, making informed adjustments as needed to keep your home positioned competitively.
With Jan Elizabeth’s extensive marketing background and Ben Croft’s real estate expertise, your home benefits from a balanced, experience-driven approach that extends beyond simply placing a listing on the MLS.
