Section B · The Seller's Desk
The Seller's Edition
Selling a home in Oakland or Macomb County starts with one number: what your house is worth on this month's market, on your street, against the last three months of closed sales. Pricing is where houses are won or lost, and pricing well is a current-data exercise, not a feeling. Raquel Delly brings the data, the strategy, and the negotiation to every sale she lists.
Most sellers start in the wrong place, with renovations. The right first step is the valuation conversation: what the market is doing in your exact area right now, what your home will bring in its current condition, and what prep work actually pays for itself. Some work pays; a lot of it does not, and Raquel will tell you which is which.
Then comes the listing itself: photography that makes the phone ring, marketing that reaches the right buyers, showings run on your schedule, and offers read with an eye for terms, not just price. A strong offer can still hide a weak inspection window or a shaky financing story. Her job is to see the whole picture.
When inspection findings or appraisals complicate a deal, sellers need someone who has navigated it before. With twelve years in the business, Raquel has negotiated repairs, defended appraisals, and kept deals alive that would have died without a steady hand. That is the all-business half of the job, and it is non-negotiable.

The Cases · Four Seller Stories
Which seller are you?
File 01
Selling and buying at once
The coordination question: sell first or buy first? Raquel maps your equity, timeline, and the market in your price range, then builds a plan (including bridge options and rent-backs) so the two transactions line up instead of colliding.
File 02
Starter home and moving up
You have equity, and the next house wants it. Raquel prices your current home to move in the current market, negotiates the sale like it is her own, and keeps your next purchase on schedule.
File 03
Estates and inherited homes
Selling a family home after a loss takes patience, discretion, and a clear plan. Raquel helps trustees and beneficiaries understand value, prep the property, coordinate decisions, and work alongside the family's attorneys and accountants.
File 04
Downsizing and empty nests
Less house, less maintenance, more life. Ranch plans, condos, and single-level new construction near family are where Raquel steers empty nesters, with the sale of the old house handled first.
Selling as-is is an option in Michigan, with the right price. Condos, land, rentals, and relocation situations all sit on the same desk, handled with the same honesty.
