Start With a Trusted Local Listing Agent
Thinking about selling your home in Athens, TN or the surrounding Southeast Tennessee area? You may be ready to list soon. Or you may simply want to understand your options before making a decision.
Either way, I would be honored to help.
I’m Paula Scarbrough, Associate Broker with CENTURY 21 Legacy in Athens, Tennessee. I have more than 26 years of residential real estate experience and a strong local reputation built on trust, service, and results.
My goal is simple. I want to help you make confident decisions when it is time to sell.
Selling a home is a major financial decision. It takes more than a sign in the yard and an online listing. You need the right pricing strategy, strong marketing, clear communication, and experienced guidance from start to finish.
That is where I can help.
Why Sellers Choose Paula Scarbrough
Every seller’s situation is different. Some homeowners are ready to sell right away. Others are thinking ahead and want to know what their home may be worth. Some are downsizing, handling an estate, selling acreage, or preparing a longtime family home for the market.
I take the time to understand your goals before recommending a plan.
Sellers choose me because I offer:
- 26+ years of local real estate experience
- 150+ five-star client reviews
- Honest advice about pricing and preparation
- Strong knowledge of Athens and Southeast Tennessee
- Detailed market analysis using three MLS systems
- Professional photography and video
- Exposure on major real estate websites
- Weekly updates and clear communication
- Skilled negotiation and contract guidance
- Personal service from consultation to closing
I manage the process myself. You work directly with me, not through layers of assistants. That means I stay involved and informed throughout your sale.
A Smarter Way to Prepare, Price, and Market Your Home
Before your home goes on the market, I walk through the property with you and look at it through a buyer’s eyes. I consider condition, updates, layout, curb appeal, staging, and any items that may affect marketability.
From there, I give practical advice on repairs, updates, decluttering, and presentation. The goal is not to spend money where it is not needed. The goal is to help your home show well and compete in the current market.
After seeing your home, I prepare a detailed market analysis using comparable sales from three MLS systems. This helps us look at recent sales, active competition, pending homes, days on market, condition, location, and buyer demand.
Once your home is ready, I use professional photography, video, strong listing copy, MLS exposure, and placement on high-traffic real estate websites. When appropriate, I also use broker open houses, public open houses, showing feedback, and weekly activity updates.
Throughout the process, I keep you informed so you know how your home is being viewed, how it compares to other homes, and whether the current strategy is working.
