Shelley approaches inspections with a calm, strategic mindset. Instead of reacting to long repair requests, she evaluates what truly matters, what can be negotiated, and where sellers can push back. Her background in construction knowledge, design, and pricing helps her identify which items are reasonable and which ones are inflated. This gives sellers a clear plan instead of uncertainty and frustration.
Because Shelley is a Certified Negotiation Expert, she handles these conversations with confidence and clarity. She works directly with contractors when needed, provides realistic cost estimates, and presents solutions that protect the seller’s net proceeds. Many of her clients have saved thousands simply because she knew how to reframe requests, prioritize repairs, and negotiate fair outcomes without letting emotions take over.
As one seller shared, “Shelley saved us over $10,000 during inspection. She knew exactly how to negotiate every item and kept the deal together.”
