The Seller Checkpoint Plan
Ask for the 90-Day Agreement. A plan in writing, with dates you can hold me to.
A written home-sale plan with checkpoints at day 14, day 30, and day 60 — so you can review progress early instead of waiting months to find out what changed.
The Seller Checkpoint Plan gives sellers a clearer way to discuss pricing, buyer response, offer strength, and next steps with Paul before a listing drifts.
Who this helps
A written plan before you decide.
This is for sellers who want a written plan before they relist, accept an offer, carry a vacant property, coordinate a sale and purchase, or decide what to do with a property that has family, tenant, or condition complications.
If your situation is simple, the plan gives you checkpoints.
If your situation is complicated, the plan gives you a cleaner way to decide what Paul should review with you directly.
The problem with waiting
Drift is the real cost, not the market.
Most listings do not fail because of the market. They drift — a price that quietly goes stale, a showing schedule that slows down, an update that says "still working on it" instead of what actually changed.
By the time a seller notices, weeks have passed. A vacant home or two mortgage payments make every extra week more expensive. An expired or FSBO listing often had plenty of activity and still no clarity about why it did not close.
A complicated sale — inherited property, a tenant, a purchase tied to the sale — needs more than a promise to stay in touch. It needs a written point where the numbers get reviewed and a decision gets made.
The Seller Checkpoint Plan puts that review in writing: day 14, day 30, and day 60. Each checkpoint is a decision point — review the evidence, adjust the plan, or continue. Release or parting ways is only discussed at the end of the 90-day agreement, through the actual agreement process.
Why this exists
Three checkpoints, in writing.
Selling a home should not depend on vague promises and a long wait.
Before you sign, you should know how the plan will be measured, when the strategy will be reviewed, and what happens if the evidence says the plan needs to change.
The Seller Checkpoint Plan puts that review structure in writing.

If the evidence says the plan needs to change during the 90 days, the next adjustment gets put in writing. During the 90 days, checkpoint decisions are limited to review, adjust, or continue — release or parting ways is discussed only at the end of the 90-day agreement, through the actual agreement/release process.
Choose the situation closest to yours
Every seller's situation is a little different.
Selling it yourself or stuck as a FSBO
The buyer is not the finish line. Closing is. The FSBO Offer-Risk Preview Checklist helps you see the kinds of issues Paul reviews with sellers before they rely on an offer.

Your listing expired or was cancelled
Your listing expired. The next step is not another vague promise. The Seller Checkpoint Plan gives you written day 14, day 30, and day 60 checkpoints before another listing drifts.

You relocated, the home is vacant, or you're carrying two payments
Waiting has a cost, but rushing can create a different risk. The Hold-vs-Sell Carrying Cost Worksheet helps organize the questions before Paul reviews the property-specific numbers with you.

You inherited a home or are dealing with a trust-held property
Family decisions are easier to keep organized when the sale path is written down before choices get made. Paul can help with the sale-path conversation. Legal, probate, tax, and trustee questions should go to the appropriate professional.

You need to sell and buy at the same time
Offer certainty matters as much as price when your next purchase depends on closing. A Sale-and-Purchase Timing Review helps organize the timeline conversation so Paul can review the moving pieces directly.

You're tired of managing a rental or tenant-occupied property
Tenant-occupied sales need a plan before exposure. The Landlord Exit / Hold-vs-Sell Worksheet helps organize sale-readiness questions. Tenant, legal, tax, and notice questions should be handled with the appropriate professional.

The home needs work, has condition issues, or feels like a fixer
Not every repair should be handled the same way before selling. The Seller Preparation Tiers Guide shows how Paul organizes condition questions before they become negotiation issues.

Common questions
The 90-Day Agreement, explained.
-
Because a home sale should be reviewed while there is still time to adjust. The plan uses written checkpoints at day 14, day 30, and day 60 so seller and agent are not relying on memory, vague updates, or hope.
-
California law caps buyer representation agreements at 90 days. No such rule exists for sellers. For residential sellers who want accountability, Paul applies the same 90-day standard anyway — with written checkpoints at day 14, day 30, and day 60. It is Paul's voluntary accountability option, not a legal cap on seller listings.

-
No. The point is accountability. If the evidence says the plan needs to change during the 90 days, the next adjustment gets put in writing.
-
No. A quick CMA or valuation request can start the conversation, but pricing and property-specific strategy should be reviewed directly with Paul.
-
No. The resources are educational planning aids. Legal, tax, probate, trustee, tenant, financial, and other professional questions should be handled by the appropriate professional.
-
