How long does it take to sell a home in Greater Houston?

It depends on price band, neighborhood, and condition. In the team's 77094 / 77450 core (Green Trails, Windsor Park Lakes, Kelliwood, Park Lake), well-prepped resale homes priced to the comp set typically go under contract in days to a few weeks, not months.

What is the difference between a CMA and a Zestimate?

A Zestimate is a national algorithm trained on a generic dataset. It has no idea your floor plan was the upgraded Coventry release, or how much your specific subdivision has moved since your neighbor last sold. A CMA from CKT comes from comps the team has actually closed, recent activity in your subdivision, and a builder-side read on what your home commands at resale. A real number, not an estimate.

Does CKT handle new-construction resale?

That's the team's specialty. Cyndi spent 25+ years as Executive Broker of Coventry Homes, with 15,000+ new homes sold during that tenure. When pricing a builder-built resale, that history reads upgrade premiums, floor-plan provenance, and which builders' homes hold value the way a builder rep reads a sales report.

What does Cyndi's Coventry tenure mean for my listing?

Twenty-five years inside the builder means Cyndi knows what your home was built to do: which upgrade lines came standard, which were extras, which finish packages buyers actively pay a premium for at resale. That construction-side fluency goes into the pricing strategy, the listing copy, and the showings playbook so buyers see the value the algorithm misses.

What is included in the listing marketing plan?

Professional photography plus drone where appropriate, Brivity-syndicated MLS push to 100+ portals, featured placement on cktluxury.com, targeted social ads to a 19,000-contact Houston network, a 5-minute response SLA on every inquiry, and a weekly written status report covering what we did, who we heard from, and what is next.

How is the team commission structured?

Commission is fully negotiable and agreed case-by-case based on price point and listing complexity. There is no set or standard rate. CKT does not run flat-fee listings. The marketing plan and 5-minute response SLA do not work at flat-fee economics. Specifics shared transparently before any listing agreement.

The advantage

Builder-side fluency, applied to your resale.

Cyndi spent 25+ years as Coventry Homes' Executive Broker, representing the builder on every transaction. 15,000+ new homes sold there. That construction-side fluency now applies to your resale. It prices the upgrades a national algorithm misses, knows which floor plans command premium resale, and reads the neighborhood comp set the way a builder rep reads a sales report.

The resale practice has closed 2,000+ homes across 30+ years, with a 100% client recommendation rate across two decades.

In-house staging

We stage your home. In-house.

CKT runs its own staging operation: furniture inventory, neutral luxury aesthetic, dedicated movers. Most agents either skip staging or outsource it, which means premium markup and someone else's schedule.

Cyndi keeps it in-house so the listing timeline stays tight and the cost stays predictable. Stage Monday, photograph Tuesday, on MLS Wednesday. Typical.

The process

Sixty days, run like an operation.

Eight steps, CMA through closing, the same machine behind 2,000+ career resales. You see every step while it happens.

01
Get a real CMA
A Zestimate is an algorithm. A CMA from CKT comes from comps the team has actually closed in the subdivision plus a builder-side read on upgrade premiums and floor-plan provenance. Request one through the Home Value form.
02
Prep the home
Targeted prep (declutter, deep-clean, paint touch-ups, light staging) drives a measurable price lift. CKT walks the home before listing and recommends only the prep work that pays back at sale.
03
Professional photography + drone
Photos sell the showing. Every CKT listing gets pro photography and drone where appropriate. Bad photos kill click-through. Good ones drive the showings that drive offers.
04
List + syndicate
Brivity-syndicated MLS push to 100+ portals, featured placement on cktluxury.com, targeted social ads to a 19,000-contact Houston network. The listing goes everywhere buyers and buyer agents actually look.
05
Show + collect feedback
Showings begin within days. CKT collects buyer-agent feedback after every showing and reports weekly with what we heard, who we heard from, and what to adjust.
06
Negotiate offers
Multiple offers get a structured ranking on price, terms, financing, earnest money, and closing date. Single offers get countered against the strongest comp set. CKT runs the negotiation on the seller's behalf.
07
Manage option period + appraisal
Option-period repair requests and appraisal contingencies are where deals fall apart. CKT pushes back where pushback is appropriate and protects the contract through Clear-to-Close.
08
Close and net
Sign at title. Funds wire. CKT walks the seller through the settlement statement and post-close logistics: utilities, mail forwarding, storage transitions.
