A Thoughtful Approach to Selling 204 High Street
Selling a home is a big decision. We start by understanding what matters most to you — your goals, your timing, your home, and the bigger picture around your move. From there, we build the right strategy together.
Our job is to make the process feel clear, organized, and well considered from the very beginning.
Get to Know Matt
Local expertise.
Personal approach.
Matthew Blanchette brings a rare mix of local roots, hands-on building knowledge, and historic home expertise to every sale. After beginning his work in Newburyport in 2001 through the Newburyport Preservation Trust, he built a deep understanding of the area’s homes, neighborhoods, and the craftsmanship that makes them special.
Today, Matt combines that perspective with thoughtful strategy, clear communication, and a strong network of trusted local vendors. Through Keller Williams Evolution, he also has access to 300–350 collaborating agents in the office — giving sellers expanded reach, real-time market insight, and broader exposure for their home.

Getting You Ready for Market
A successful sale starts with a clear plan. We help answer the big questions before the property goes live: what the home is worth, how long the process may take, and the strategy that best supports your goals.
We also look beyond the listing itself — walking through an estimate of your expected sale proceeds and costs, understanding where you are headed next, and coordinating the moving pieces so you can make decisions with confidence.
- Market analysis and pricing strategy
- Estimated sale proceeds and costs
- Timeline, next steps, and where you are going next
- Coordinating the transaction around your move
02 House Preparation
Getting the Property Ready for Market
Presentation matters. We bring in the right people and resources to help your home show at its best — without doing work simply for the sake of doing work.
Our network of allied vendors, stagers, photographers, and other professionals helps us build a practical preparation plan and create the strongest possible first impression.
- Trusted contractors and allied vendors
- Professional staging guidance
- Professional photography and media preparation
- Showing strategy and planning for a Level 7 Open House
03 Market Presentation
Online Presence & Showings
When your home hits the market, it is more than a listing — it is a launch. We create a polished online presence, coordinate showing opportunities, and give buyers multiple ways to experience the property before and after they walk through the door.
That includes a custom property website, direct communication to our network, targeted buyer and agent outreach, and coordinated execution of our Level 7 Open House strategy.
- Custom property website and digital presentation
- Strategic online and social media exposure
- Targeted buyer, investor, and agent outreach
- Showings and Level 7 Open House execution

04 Transaction Management
Offer to Closing
Once offers begin to arrive, the work becomes more detailed. We help you compare the full picture — not simply the headline price — and understand the terms, contingencies, financing, timing, and risk within each offer.
From negotiation through inspection, appraisal, financing, and closing, our role is to anticipate issues, keep the transaction organized, and help bulletproof the deal all the way to the finish line.
- Reviewing and comparing multiple offers
- Negotiation strategy and seller priorities
- Managing contingencies, inspections, and deadlines
- Coordinating the transaction through closing

Industry Changes & What They Mean for You

We stay current on these changes so we can explain the practical implications, help you understand your choices, and point you to reliable source material. This is informational guidance, not legal advice.
