Selling guide
Sell your home for what it's worth.
This guide shows how Paul prepares, prices, markets, and negotiates a home sale from the first conversation to the closing table. It is the same plan he uses for his own listings, step by step.
Eight steps to the close
How a Paul Knighton listing gets sold.
The goal is not just a sold sign. It is the best combination of price, terms, and certainty for your specific situation.
- 01
Price from data, not emotion
Your home has memories, but buyers compare numbers. Paul builds the price from recent comparable sales, current inventory, and buyer demand, so you start with momentum instead of a waiting game.
- 02
Get the home ready
A prioritized list of repairs, decluttering, and staging moves that return real value. You spend on what moves buyers, and skip what does not.
- 03
Shoot and market it properly
Professional photography, video, and honest, compelling copy. Then targeted digital ads and deep MLS syndication across Oregon and Idaho.
- 04
Run showings with feedback
Every showing gets tracked, and Paul follows up for real buyer feedback so you adjust while there is still time to act.
- 05
Negotiate every offer
Multiple offers, low offers, unusual terms: each one gets evaluated for net proceeds and risk, not just sticker price. Paul protects your bottom line.
- 06
Handle inspections and disclosures
Oregon and Idaho have their own disclosure and inspection rules. Paul keeps you compliant, prepared, and protected through each one.
- 07
See it through appraisal and financing
Delays live here. Paul tracks the buyer's lender, the appraisal, and the paperwork so your closing date holds.
- 08
Close clean
Final signatures, keys handed over, proceeds wired. You get a clear closing statement and zero surprises.
Where Paul differs
What a Paul Knighton listing gets you.
Pricing you can defend

Protection at every document
Disclosures, inspection reports, addenda: Paul reviews every signature with your interests first.
Communication on a schedule
You will know what is happening each week, in plain language, before you have to ask.
