How I work

The Committed Partner Plan

Most agents list your house the way it is and hope. I inspect it, plan it, and get it ready first, so it goes to market as a Success-Ready Home.

  1. AssessI walk through your home with you and review its current condition.
  2. InspectA pre-listing inspection, so problems surface before a buyer finds them.
  3. PlanTogether we decide which repairs and updates are worth doing, and which are not.
  4. ScheduleA timeline for the prep work and the day your home goes on the market.
  5. PrepareI manage it personally: paint colors, fixtures, every vendor. You know each step before it happens.

About Pattie

A partner, not a salesperson

Pattie Philibosian guides Petaluma homeowners through one of life's biggest transitions: leaving the family home for something smaller or single-level. She is a REALTOR® with eXp Realty, and her promise is simple: committed to your success.

Through her Committed Partner Plan, Pattie reviews each home's condition, arranges a pre-listing inspection, and designs a clear plan for repairs, updates, and timing. Then she manages the details personally, from selecting paint and fixtures to coordinating vendors, so each home goes to market as a Success-Ready Home.

She works with a small number of clients at a time, so every one gets her personal attention. Her clients hear the same reassurance again and again: "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it. I'll help you."
