Liz Lavette Shorb — Washington Fine Properties

Who You Work With Matters

It takes more than a sign in the yard or access to a database to sell a house.

Strategy — Liz Lavette Shorb

Strategy

A clear understanding of clients' goals guides the plan: review comparable properties, weigh price against terms and risk, and decide how to prepare and present a listing. Offer acceptance and sale proceeds depend on the property, the market, and the parties' decisions.

Experience — Liz Lavette Shorb

Experience

Over three decades in real estate inform Liz's work with buyers and sellers. Preparation includes discussing alternative scenarios, identifying missing information, and bringing in the appropriate specialists when a decision needs legal, lending, inspection, or technical expertise.

Connections — Liz Lavette Shorb

Connections

Professional relationships can help coordinate property research, marketing, and service-provider introductions. Private listing availability changes, and access depends on the seller's permissions and applicable rules. Discuss the actual distribution plan and available inventory before relying on a private-marketing strategy.

Trust — Liz Lavette Shorb

Trust

Excellent customer service, high ethical standards and respect for clients and colleagues alike are core values that drive every interaction and transaction. Clients deserve a true partner in the buying and selling process.

Timing Is Everything

Timing Is Everything

Timing decisions start with the client's schedule and current property evidence. For sellers, that can mean choosing a launch date, planning preparation, or setting an offer-review process. For buyers, it can mean coordinating visits, financing, and inspection deadlines. A calendar choice alone does not predict the result.

“Liz did an incredible job … she smartly counseled us on how to maximize the potential of our old home, chose an ideal weekend to list it and expertly juggled multiple exploding offers.”
There Is No One Size Fits All

There Is No One Size Fits All

Each transaction is unique, and every buyer and seller receives their own individualized plan. Even two buyers hoping to buy the same type of house or two sellers wishing to sell similar properties will have unique circumstances to which a very specific strategy will be applied. The smallest nuances can make a big difference, and each plan benefits from the decades of experience taken to formulate it.

“Liz was really creative in writing our offer for our new home and very thoughtful in the way she negotiated on our behalf during the sale of our old home. This was a stressful experience that was made much less stressful due to her experience, advice, and proactive communication.”
Making It Happen

Making It Happen

A transaction needs clear decisions and follow-through. Liz works with clients to identify deadlines, document open questions, coordinate the people involved, and evaluate options when circumstances change. Inspection findings, financing, and decisions by the other parties can still change the path to closing.

“When the time came to submit a bid, Liz helped us move quickly and decisively, and we were under contract within hours.”
Shhh — Off Market

Shhh — Off Market

A seller considering private marketing should compare the proposed audience, timing, permissions, and limitations with a public launch. Buyers should confirm whether a specific property is currently available and whether access is authorized. Discuss WFP's current options with Liz and ask how the distribution plan would serve your priorities.

“Liz was able to get us our dream home before it came on the open market because of her extensive network.”
