    Typical timeline: 45 days

    Step-by-Step

    1. 1

      Confirm Radnor vs T/E feeder

      Wayne 19087 spans both Radnor Township SD and Tredyffrin/Easttown SD. Confirm the feeder line and lead with it in your marketing.

    2. 2

      Pre-inspect for historic-home issues

      Knob-and-tube, oil tanks, lead, and radon are routine in Wayne. Pre-inspect to avoid post-inspection price reductions.

    3. 3

      Prep, paint, and stage for the price point

      Wayne's price band ($800K+) demands stronger prep. Budget 1–2% of sale price.

    4. 4

      Professional + twilight photography + 3D tour

      Standard at Wayne's price point. Out-of-state relocators often offer based on the 3D tour alone.

    5. 5

      Launch Thursday + agent open + public weekend opens

      Standard launch cadence for the Main Line. Captures peak weekend buyer activity.

    6. 6

      Review all offers Monday + close in 30 days

      Monday deadline creates clean competition. Local title firms know Wayne's borough vs. township tax structure.

    Common Pitfalls to Avoid

    • Listing historic Wayne without pre-inspection
    • Missing the feeder distinction in marketing
    • Underpricing on the Wayne brand — buyers will pay the premium
