We come to you. We walk your home, understand your timeline, and give you an honest assessment of where you stand in the current market — no inflated numbers to win the listing.
Staging, repairs, decluttering — we guide you through exactly what's worth doing before photos. Scott's construction background means he knows which improvements actually move the needle and which ones don't. We'll also connect you with trusted contractors if needed.
Homes with professional photos sell faster and for more money. We include this as a standard part of working with us. Your home deserves to look its best online, because that's where buyers are making decisions.
Overpriced homes sit. Underpriced homes leave money on the table. We price based on real data, real comparables, and honest judgment about where the market is heading.
Your listing goes on MLS and all major platforms, plus our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and our own buyer network. We run open houses and stay active while your home is on the market.
When offers come in, we walk you through every one — terms, contingencies, and what each actually means for your bottom line. We negotiate on your behalf and stay in it through closing.
"Denise and Scott were fantastic to work with! They were easy and prompt to communicate with, helped us price our unit appropriately, and were so positive and helpful with the whole process. We weren’t in the area during the time our unit was listed and they went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed that we couldn’t physically get to. They were professional, friendly, and enthusiastic about everything that came up. I would highly recommend them for any real estate opportunities you may need!"

"Wonderful experience with the Reiff team! They were very accommodating, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I would highly recommend going to the Scott and Denise for your home buying and selling needs!"

Southern Maine's market peaks in spring and early summer, but we've closed strong deals in every season. More important than timing is preparation — a well-priced, well-presented home moves in any month.
We pull recent comparables, assess current inventory, factor in your home's condition and location, and give you our honest read. We'd rather lose a listing than overpromise a number we can't deliver.
Not necessarily. We'll advise based on your specific home. Sometimes a lived-in home photographs beautifully with the right staging. Other times a vacant home is easier to show. We'll tell you what makes sense.
It doesn't have to mean renting furniture. Often it's about editing — removing clutter, rearranging what you have, adding small touches. We guide you through it before the photographer arrives.
Honestly, it depends on price and condition. Homes that are well-prepared and priced correctly are moving. We'll give you a realistic expectation at the start, and we keep you informed throughout.
Through Coldwell Banker, sellers have access to a repair and improvement financing program that lets you pay for pre-sale work at closing — not out of pocket upfront. That means you can make the improvements that get you a better price, without needing the cash on hand to do it first.
It's one of those programs that makes a real difference for sellers who know their home needs work before it lists. Ask us about it.
