Sharon's Pre-Listing Presentation
How Sharon sells your home — before you ever sign
Most agents save this for the listing appointment. Sharon would rather you see exactly how she works first — how she prices, how she prepares a home, how she launches it, and what happens at every step — so the interview is a confirmation, not a pitch.
Meet Sharon
Sharon Kushner leads The Sharon Kushner Team — a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker with eXp Realty, with 18 years of experience (per her Zillow team profile) focused on sellers across Rockland County and Orange County, NY. Her team works by four words:
- Communication
- Dedication
- Integrity
- Results
How she got here — a Rockland career, start to today:
2008 — Sharon starts in real estateLicensed and selling in Rockland County — the start of the 18-year record her Zillow team profile carries today.
Realty Teams Corp, PomonaHer first brokerage home in the record — MLS credits name her there, and she was already a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker by 2013.
Keller Williams Hudson ValleyThe next chapter — sales credited to her at Keller Williams Hudson Valley through the mid-2010s.
Today — eXp Realty, team leaderSharon leads The Sharon Kushner Team at eXp Realty: a major brokerage's resources behind a dedicated local team.
Her own team bio puts her positioning in one line: "Sharon is an EXCELLENT NEGOTIATOR and knows how to make the deal happen!" And in her own words:
“What sets me apart is my commitment to combining strong market knowledge, strategic negotiation, and genuine personal attention.”
The team behind her: Sharon is team lead of a 7-member team (Zillow team profile) — and sellers feel that depth. Behind her are Sarah and Ortal, her admin staff — the operations and communication backbone of the office, and the reason nothing about your sale waits in an inbox. Her reviews name them alongside her: "Sharon and her entire team were AMAZING… I could not have made it without your support, coaching, and guidance." One lead who knows your home, a staffed team moving it — that's what you're hiring. Meet the whole team
No obligation — just a conversation about your home.
By the numbers
The team's full record — when you hire Sharon, you hire the team she leads, and these are its numbers:
- Team sales · Zillow
- 616
- Sold in 2025 · RealTrends Verified
- $28.47M
- Last 12 months · Zillow
- 30 sales
- Team reviews · Zillow
- ★ 5.0 · 192
Zillow's figures are TEAM totals — its profile counts every team member's sales (profile range: $125K–$2.9M; average sale $817K). The 2025 figure is RealTrends Verified's: 28 team sales totalling $28.47M (2026 rankings based on 2025 sales data). Each source is labeled and figures are never added together.
Inside her sold showcase — the 76 sales in the sold showcase are a curated selection from that record, in Sharon's own words:
The showcase's own numbers: 34 of the 76 sales closed at $1M or more, and the top sale reached $3,500,000. Of the 36 sales whose notes state a result against list price, 26 sold at or above it — and 14 of the notes record a sale in 16 days or less.
Every showcase count comes from Sharon's own note on the sale, shown on its card on the Sold page; the fast sales are the ones whose notes say "sold in X days" (2–16 days). Nothing here is estimated.
How Sharon prices your home
Pricing is where sales are won or lost — it's also where Sharon's record speaks loudest: 26 of the sales in her sold showcase closed at or above list price. Her approach:
Recent sold comparables firstSimilar homes that actually sold nearby — what buyers truly paid, not what sellers hoped for.
Your live competitionThe homes a buyer will compare yours against this week, priced alongside them — not in a vacuum.
Your home, walked in personCondition, updates, light and layout change value. That's why Sharon gives you your number after she's walked your home — never from an algorithm, and never before she's seen it.
A strategy you choose, with eyes openPrice at the evidence and you compete for buyers; price above it and the market usually answers with silence, then reductions:
| Strategy | What usually happens |
|---|---|
| Priced at market value | Strong showings, real offers, sale near — or above — asking |
| Priced above market | Fewer showings, longer on market, price reductions, often a lower final sale |
The goal is never the highest promise — it's the highest result. An agent who quotes you a dream number to win your signature is spending your money, not earning it.
Getting your home ready
Small preparation, done in the right order, is the cheapest money a seller ever spends. Sharon's sellers start with the three steps agents recommend most — declutter (91%), clean the whole home (88%), and improve curb appeal (77%) — and presentation help where it counts. In NAR's 2025 staging survey, 83% of buyers' agents said staging makes it easier for a buyer to picture the home as their own, 49% of sellers' agents saw it shorten time on market, and 29% reported offers 1–10% higher.
National Association of REALTORS®, 2025 Profile of Home Staging (agents' reported experience, national survey). Ask Sharon at your interview what preparation makes sense for your home — and what isn't worth your money.
How your home gets marketed
Marketing is the #1 thing sellers say they hire their agent for — so here's Sharon's, in the open:
Professional photography — included with every listingProfessional photography comes with every listing Sharon takes: it's included, not an add-on you arrange or pay extra for. Every home in her sold showcase was presented with polished, professional listing photos — the element buyers' agents rate most important in a listing (73%, NAR 2025). Browse the showcase: that's the standard included with yours.
A launch her audience already watchesSharon announces her sales to an established local following — 1,676 posts and 6,600+ followers on Instagram (@sharonkushner.realtor) — with the same sold-announcement presentation you see echoed in the cards above.
Full marketplace exposureYour listing reaches buyers through the MLS and the major home-search sites, backed by eXp Realty's national network and the Kushner Team's BoldTrail platform.
Proof, publishedWhen your home sells, it joins her sold showcase — photo, price, and result — the same public track record that brought you here.
How you'll hear from Sharon
Sellers' biggest fear isn't the sale — it's silence. It's why Communication is the first of her team's four values — and Sharon doesn't leave it vague. Here's exactly how she keeps you in the picture:
A reply within the hourReach out about selling your home and you'll hear back from Sharon within the hour. The conversation starts when you start it — not days later.
Showing feedback the same dayAfter a showing, you won't be left wondering how it went. What buyers thought reaches you that same day.
Updates as things happen — your wayNo set weekly report, and no news saved up for one. When something happens with your sale, you hear about it as it happens — by call, text, or email, in the method you prefer.
Strategy talks when the market movesPricing and strategy conversations happen when something actually changes in the market — so when Sharon calls one, you'll know it matters.
It's also why this site is built the way it is: Sharon's number is one tap away, by call or text, before you're even a client. RateMyAgent's own summary of her 60 individual reviews puts it in six phrases: clear communication · stress-free process · pleasant · dedicated · responsive · local expert. In her sellers' and buyers' own words:
We had an amazing experience working with Sharon K during our home purchase. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we understood every step of the process.
We just closed on a house with Sharon after several years of looking. She was so patient and easygoing throughout the whole buying process. She and her team are extremely responsive and very on top of everything in every step of the way!
No scheduled check-ins for their own sake, and no silence either — news when there's news, in the way you asked for it. Read more reviews

Questions sellers ask Sharon
Another agent said they could get me more. Should I list with them?
Ask them for the sold comparables behind the number. A list price is a promise; a sold price is a fact — Sharon's facts are the 76 sales in her sold showcase, 26 of them at or above list price. Homes priced above the evidence typically sit, get reduced, and often sell for less than a right-priced launch would have brought.
Someone I know is an agent too. How do I choose?
Interview us both — then compare records, not relationships. Sharon's is all on this page: 616 team sales on Zillow, 26 of the 76 showcased sales at or above list price, and sellers describing the experience in their own words. Most of Sharon's sellers arrived exactly the way you did — someone they trust sent them. She'd rather earn the listing the same way: on the evidence.
Will you price my home low just to sell it fast?
No — the record argues the opposite: 26 of the sales in her sold showcase closed at or above list price. Sharon's number has to be one she can defend to buyers, to appraisers, and to you — from real comparable sales, not from whoever promises the most or the least.
What if my home doesn't sell, or an offer falls through?
It happens, and it's part of the plan you'll discuss at your interview: how the price gets reviewed, what gets adjusted, and how fall-throughs are handled. Sharon's record includes the patient sales too — a 200-year-old farmhouse that needed exactly the right buyer, sold by staying the course (see her reviews).
Is the instant online estimate my home's price?
It's a starting point from an algorithm that has never walked your street, seen your updates, or felt your light. Use it below for a quick number — then let Sharon give you the accurate one at your interview, from real comparables and a real walkthrough.
Should I just sell it myself and save the commission?
Nationally, only 5% of homes sold without an agent last year — an all-time low — while 91% of sellers chose an agent (NAR, 2025). Pricing, exposure, negotiation, and paperwork are where that choice pays for itself. And commission is never where Sharon starts the conversation: what you net is the number that matters, and she'll walk through it with you.
Should I wait for a better time to sell?
Maybe — and that's a strategy conversation, the kind Sharon has when something actually changes in the market, not on a schedule. Bring your timing to the interview: she'll price your home from recent sold comparables and talk honestly about what waiting could and couldn't change. No obligation either way.
Do I have to decide at the interview?
No. The interview is a conversation — your questions, her evidence, a clear next step if you want one. Most of Sharon's sellers arrived exactly the way you did: someone they trust sent them. Take the time you need; the door — and the phone — stay open.
