Let Ashley Sell Your Home For Maximum Value
Buying a Home
Step 1: Discovery Consultation
Every successful home search starts with a conversation. We'll discuss your goals, timeline, budget, preferred locations, and the features that matter most to you.
Step 2: Financing & Strategy
I'll connect you with trusted lenders (if needed) and help you understand your purchasing power so we can create a competitive game plan before you start touring homes.
Step 3: Home Search
Using market data, local expertise, and off-market opportunities when available, I'll help you identify homes that fit your criteria and schedule showings around your availability.
Step 4: Making an Offer
When you find the right home, I'll analyze comparable sales, discuss negotiation strategies, and prepare a strong offer designed to help you achieve your goals.
Step 5: Inspections & Due Diligence
I'll guide you through inspections, review findings, negotiate repairs when appropriate, and help ensure you're making an informed decision.
Step 6: Appraisal & Closing Preparation
I'll coordinate with your lender, title company, and all parties involved to keep everything on track and address any issues that arise.
Step 7: Closing Day
The day you've been waiting for. I'll be there to help ensure a smooth closing so you can confidently step into your new home.
Selling Your Home
Step 1: Home Evaluation
We'll meet to discuss your goals, timeline, and review current market conditions to determine the best pricing and marketing strategy.
Step 2: Preparing Your Home
I'll provide recommendations for staging, repairs, and improvements that can help maximize your home's appeal and value.
Step 3: Professional Marketing Launch
Your home deserves more than just a listing. I'll create a customized marketing plan featuring professional photography & videography, social media promotion, online advertising, and exposure to qualified buyers.
Step 4: Showings & Buyer Feedback
I'll coordinate showings, communicate with buyer agents, and keep you informed every step of the way.
Step 5: Reviewing Offers
Not all offers are created equal. I'll help you evaluate price, terms, financing, contingencies, and closing timelines to select the strongest offer.
Step 6: Inspections, Appraisal & Negotiations
From inspection requests to appraisal challenges, I'll negotiate on your behalf and work to keep the transaction moving forward.
Step 7: Closing & Beyond
I'll coordinate with all parties through closing day and remain a resource long after the sale is complete.
Real Estate Investing
Step 1: Define Your Investment Goals
Whether you're looking for cash flow, appreciation, short-term rentals, or your first investment property, we'll create a strategy that aligns with your objectives.

What My Clients Say
"We are so grateful for Ashley and everything she did to help us find our home. We live in Illinois and bought a home in Indiana so the process of buying a home was slightly different. Ashley knew what the differences were and guided us along the way. She was patient with ALL of our questions, celebrated the exciting moments with us, and helped make what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier. Not only did we find our dream home but we found a friend too. Thank you Ashley for your hard work, kindness, and for helping turn our dream into reality!"

It's with pleasure we give our highest recommendation to AS as your realtor.
As someone who expects the best service and standards, Ashely checked all the boxes.
She found an off market house, walked us through the purchasing process, connected us with appraisal, inspection and mortgage experts, and followed through on every promise in a timely and professional manner.
We went to several open houses and provided our information; Ashley was the only realtor who followed up. We were so impressed we asked her to sell our house too!
It had been 20 years since we purchased a home. Ashley eased every trepidation and answered every question with patience and kindness. She's both industrious and industry savvy.
To us, Ashley Schroeder is the best choice to be your realtor.

Throughout our house hunting journey, she was exceedingly proactive in finding properties that met our criteria, always making herself available when we needed her. She did an outstanding job of listening carefully to our wants, needs and opinions, while using her excellent market insight to ensure that our expectations were realistic and our requests reasonable. Despite two failed inspections, she remained dedicated and steadfast, ensuring that we ultimately found our dream home. During the negotiation process, we knew she had our back, advocating firmly and fairly for us to secure a final price that truly reflected the value of the home. Ashley's professional demeanor was impressive, yet she always found a way to make the process fun. Overall, we felt well represented every step of the way. - Hide
