When you list

Billings homes sat a median 39 days on market from January through March 2026, against roughly 20 days from April through September 2026 (Billings MLS). A winter listing needs a price and a plan built for a slower pace.

Where your price falls

Homes from $250,000 to $450,000 sold at a median 98.8% of original list price and homes from $450,000 to $800,000 at 98.7%. Homes under $250,000 sold at 94.1%, the widest gap of the three, from October 2025 through September 2026 (Billings MLS).

How Gene sells a home

A written plan before anything goes live.

01

Price on paper

A pricing analysis built from comparable Billings MLS sales, not an automated estimate, with the reasoning for each comparable.

02

Prepare with a list

Which repairs, updates and staging are worth paying for before listing, and which are not. Gene schedules the contractors.

03

Market it in the open

Photos, the listing description, open houses and video where it helps the home, all reviewed with the seller before launch.

04

Run it to closing

Gene coordinates the buyer's agent, inspector, appraiser and title company, and plans remote signing for sellers who have moved.

Relisted and sold

Nine months on the market with another agency. Under contract within one month.

He staged the property, brightened up the interior with new lighting throughout and within one month we had a contract! Since we live out of state this was all accomplished by phone.

Kathleen's home had been listed with another agency for nine months. Gene staged it, replaced the lighting, set up contractors for minor repairs and arranged a mobile notary so she did not have to travel to Billings for closing.
