How We Manage Your Sale From Listing to Closing
Every home sale follows a structured process.
The difference is in how that process is managed and the decisions made along the way.
At Todd Hower Realty, each step is handled with a focus on pricing strategy, market response, and disciplined execution from start to finish.
Over 20 years of experience and hundreds of homes sold in the Austin market inform every step of this process.
Pricing Strategy and Preparation
We start with a detailed review of your home, recent comparable sales, and current buyer activity.
The objective is to position your home correctly from day one so it attracts serious buyers and creates early momentum.
Before going live, we coordinate photography, marketing preparation, and MLS setup so your home enters the market positioned to compete from day one.
Launch and Early Market Response
Your home is launched across the MLS and major real estate platforms with professional marketing.
The first 10 to 14 days are critical.
We track showing activity and buyer feedback closely and adjust quickly if needed.
This early window often determines how the rest of the listing performs, including pricing leverage.
Offer Evaluation and Negotiation
When offers come in, we evaluate more than just price.
Terms, timelines, contingencies, and financing strength all matter.
Negotiations are structured to put you in the strongest possible position, not just to accept the highest number, but to secure the strongest overall terms.
Contract Management
Once under contract, we manage inspections, appraisal, deadlines, and documentation.
This is where transactions often break down without careful oversight.
We stay ahead of issues, manage deadlines closely, and keep everything moving.
Closing
As closing approaches, we coordinate final details and ensure everything is aligned so you can move forward with confidence.

How This Works in Practice
Every home and situation is different, but the process typically looks like this:
The focus at every stage is simple: make the right decisions at the right time.
Why This Approach Works
The process itself is straightforward.
Getting the details right at each step is what drives the outcome.

How We’re Paid
Traditional brokerages charge a percentage of your home’s value.
Instead of tying compensation to the price of your home, we use a flat fee.
Todd Hower Realty provides full service listing representation for a $9,000 flat fee.
That includes pricing strategy, marketing, negotiation, and full contract management from start to closing.
The structure provides clarity around cost without changing the level of service. Many sellers find it easier to understand from the start.
