What does Ellison’s seller planning brief include?
Understand what the seller journey saves, what remains unverified and when an agent needs to review your pricing.
The short answer
Ellison’s seller journey organizes your address, confirmed property facts, source details, corrections, goals and timing into a downloadable property planning brief. It is not an appraisal or an agent-approved price. An agent must review condition, improvements, current competition and relevant comparable sales before recommending a pricing strategy.

What will I receive?
After you select or manually enter a property, review its characteristics and source conflicts. Unknown fields stay unknown. The final journey includes a text-file download called Ellison-seller-property-brief.txt. Your choices and questions help structure the next conversation; the brief does not create a listing agreement or automatically publish your home.
When will an agent review the price?
Request a personal review through the seller journey. An agent needs to confirm the particular property, condition, updates and suitable recent sales. No review deadline or valuation is promised by completing the online steps. Explain your preferred timing and ask who will follow up before relying on a proposed sale date.
Should I renovate before that conversation?
Gather available permits, receipts, warranties and condition questions first. Ask qualified professionals about safety and repair issues. Compare optional improvements with their cost and disruption rather than assuming every dollar spent raises market value. The New York Department of State provides seller disclosure materials; ask your attorney which obligations apply to your transaction.
What still needs verification?
Source conflicts, missing permits, system ages and condition questions remain open until checked. Preserve the original source and its date instead of replacing it with a guess. Tell your agent what you know firsthand and which statements came from a record so the pricing conversation has a clear evidence trail.
