The Molly Cartwright Certified Home Sale A smarter, more strategic way to sell your home in Seattle

Did you know many homes fall out of contract during the inspection period?

Not because buyers don’t love the home — but because unexpected issues create uncertainty.

Most sellers don’t find out there’s a problem until a buyer is already in control of the transaction.

There’s a better way.

Take Control Before You Hit the Market

The Molly Cartwright Certified Home Sale is designed to:

• Reduce surprises

• Strengthen buyer confidence

• Create smoother closings

• Position your home to sell at its strongest value

• Instead of reacting to issues…

we get ahead of them.

What Makes This Different?

In a traditional sale:

• The buyer discovers issues

• The buyer negotiates

• The seller reacts

With Molly’s Certified Home Sale:

• We identify issues upfront

• We create a clear plan

• Buyers walk in informed and confident

That shift changes everything.

What’s Included

Pre-Listing Home Inspection

We proactively inspect your home before it goes on the market.

• Identify potential concerns early

• Review findings together

• Strategically decide what to repair, improve, or disclose

This puts you in control — not the buyer.

Repair & Prep Coordination

You don’t have to manage it all.

We help coordinate:

• trusted contractors

• repairs and improvements

• timelines that align with your listing strategy

We focus on what actually adds value — not over-improving.

Strategic Presentation Consultation

Before your home hits the market, we refine how it shows.

This may include:

• paint and color recommendations

• flooring or lighting suggestions

• layout and staging guidance

The goal: maximize appeal both online and in person.

Transparent Marketing Advantage

Your inspection and improvements become a powerful marketing tool.

Buyers can review:

• inspection report

• completed repairs

• invoices and warranties

This creates confidence, clarity, and stronger offers.

Complimentary 1-Year Home Warranty for the Buyer

Every Certified Home includes a one-year home warranty for the buyer.

This provides:

• added peace of mind

• protection for major systems and appliances

• a smoother transition into ownership

It’s one more way to make your home stand out in a competitive market.

Homes that feel:

• uncertain

…create hesitation.

Homes that feel:
