Home / Our approach

Twenty houses
a year.

That number is a ceiling, not a target. It's the most properties four people can represent without any of them getting the version of us that's checking a phone.

Since 2011

Started with
one bad
listing.

Rosa Pineda was selling her grandmother's house in Kingston and watched an agent photograph it badly, price it wrong, and let it sit for nine months. She got her licence the following spring, mostly out of irritation.

Pine & Parcel is four agents now. We still take the photographs seriously, we still price against what actually sold rather than what people are asking, and we still say no to listings we don't think we can serve properly.

What you get

Selling with us.

An honest number

We price against comparable sales, not against what the neighbour is asking. Sometimes that number is lower than you hoped, and we'd rather have that conversation in week one than in month seven.

Photography that isn't an afterthought

A full day with an architectural photographer, shot at the hour the light is right for your particular house. Drone and floor plans included, not billed as extras.

A prep list, and help doing it

Usually a dozen small things and one or two bigger ones. We'll tell you which are worth the money and which are not, and we have the trades to do them.

Showings by us

No lockbox, no unfamiliar agent. One of the four of us shows your house, every time, and reports back the same evening with what people actually said.

Negotiation without theatre

We'll tell you what a buyer's position is really worth and what the risk is on the inspection. Our average sale closes at 98% of list.

Buying

On your side
of the table.

Buyer representation costs you nothing directly and changes what you see.

We'll walk it first

If you're coming from the city, we'll go to the house before you do and send a video of the things a listing photo carefully avoided - the road noise, the wet corner of the basement, the neighbour's view into the kitchen.

We know the wells

Septic, well water, flood plain, easements, and which roads the county actually plows. Rural buying has a whole second layer and it's where most surprises live.

We'll talk you out of it

More than once we've told a client the house they loved was wrong for them. Two of those people later thanked us. One is still slightly annoyed, and that's fine.

The practice

Four of us.

All licensed, all local, all reachable on a Sunday.

Questions

The practical
stuff.

What's your commission?
Standard for the region, and we'll put the exact number in writing before you sign anything. What's not standard is what it includes: photography, floor plans, drone, staging consultation, and the prep coordination are all covered rather than billed on top.
How long will my house take to sell?
Our median is thirty-four days, but that number hides a lot. A well-priced house in Hudson can go in a week; eleven acres with a barn that needs a roof might take a season. We'll give you an honest range and the reasoning behind it at the first visit.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes, and we like it. Tomás handles most of our buyer representation and will happily spend an hour on the phone explaining what a septic inspection actually tells you before you've even chosen a house.
I'm two years away from moving. Too early to talk?
No - that's the best time. We'll tell you what to fix now versus what to leave, and put you on the quiet list for anything that comes up in the meantime.

Let's talk
it through.

No pitch, no pressure, and no follow-up sequence. Just a conversation about what you're trying to do.
