We know this is
about more than
the money.
We've sat down and talked about what it would actually feel like to sell our own homes. The memories tied to a place. The weight of walking away. That conversation changed how we show up for every seller.

We actually talked about this recently — what it would be like to sell our own homes. The first place you owned. The rooms where things happened. It's not just a transaction. And we never want to treat it like one.
David & Derek
Your outcome still matters. A lot. The memories are real, and so is the number on the closing statement. You deserve both — someone who gets the emotional weight of this, and someone who will fight hard for your result.
That's the whole idea behind how we built this team. David handles everything through launch — pricing, marketing, staging, photos. Derek takes it from launch through closing — showings, negotiations, contracts, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
You're never dealing with a general agent who's spread thin. You've got two people, each laser-focused on their half of the deal.
01 Our Approach
Emotional support and a sharp strategy.
Every seller we've worked with has had something real riding on this — financially, emotionally, logistically. Here are the things we focus on so your outcome is protected, start to finish.
01
Pricing that protects you — not just looks good on the listing.
We've seen sellers priced too high because their agent didn't want an awkward conversation. We'd rather have that conversation early. Data-driven positioning protects what you've built.

A launch that creates momentum — not just activity.
The first 7–10 days on market set the tone for everything. David sequences your launch to build real competitive tension — not just a flurry of showings that goes nowhere.
David's domain03
Negotiation that's proactive — not reactive.
Getting an offer is a starting point. Derek manages every clause, condition, and counter with your net proceeds in mind. The thousands that get left on the table usually happen right here.
Derek's domain04
No dropped balls between accepted offer and closing.
This stretch is where deals quietly unravel. We stay close — on inspection risks, financing timelines, every moving piece — so you're not left wondering what's happening or waiting on a callback.
Derek's domain02 The Difference
Standard vs. structured.
This isn't about putting down other agents — there are a lot of good ones out there. It's about being honest about what a fully managed process actually looks like versus the baseline.

03 How It Works
From first conversation to closed deal.
We've designed this so you always know what's happening and what's next. No chasing. No "just checking in" three weeks later.
01
Strategy Consultation
No pressure · Just clarityWe sit down before anything else. We want to understand your situation, your timeline, and your goals — not just the property. You leave with a clear picture of how we'd position your home and why. No obligation, no sales pitch.
02
Pricing & Pre-Market
David's domainDavid builds your pricing strategy around what the market is actually telling us. If there are pre-market steps — staging adjustments, small repairs, timing considerations — that will meaningfully protect your outcome, we'll surface them early rather than let them bite you later.
03
Structured Launch
David's domainGoing live isn't just flipping a switch. David sequences your launch to build genuine competitive tension — the right exposure, at the right time, with a clear showing strategy. First impressions matter, and we don't leave them to chance.
04
Offer Management & Negotiation
Derek's domainWhen offers arrive, Derek manages them with a clear strategy — not just logistics. Every clause, condition, and counter is handled with your net proceeds and your comfort level in mind. You'll understand every decision before it's made.
05
Through Closing
Derek's domainThe stretch between accepted offer and completion is where deals can quietly unravel. Derek stays close through every step — on your timeline, on the details, and on the phone when you have questions. We don't disappear after the paperwork is signed.
04 What Clients Say
Real sellers. Real experiences.
The reviews that mean the most to us are the ones where people felt taken care of — not just sold.
David Maître guided us through the sale of our townhouse and the purchase of our new house, making the process as clear and understandable as possible. We always knew what was happening and felt completely taken care of.
My experience working with David was awesome! He was so thorough with every detail — incredibly professional and efficient.
Derek was such a pleasure to work with! He is reliable, professional and attentive. In a crazy market, he was able to help us through the selling process and ensure we were always comfortable.
Last year we had the distinct pleasure of meeting David. Highly skilled, dedicated and genuinely cared about our outcome. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
