Before We Meet
A Letter to You, Before We Sit Down Together
However you found your way here, thank you for taking a few minutes to read this. Selling a home is rarely just a transaction. It's a hinge point in a life. Maybe you're downsizing. Maybe you're chasing a new opportunity, growing a family, or closing the chapter on a season that's simply come to its end. Whatever brought you here, we don't take it lightly.
Before we ever sit down together at your kitchen table, we wanted you to have a real sense of who we are, how we work, and what you can expect, from your very first call with us through the day you hand over the keys. Consider this your introduction to our team, Perch & Oak Property Group, and to the way we believe real estate should be done: with wisdom, hospitality, and genuine care for the people on the other side of every transaction.
Our name comes from something we believe deeply. A home is never really about the house itself. It's about the life that unfolded inside it, and having the confidence to move well from one chapter into the next — from this perch, to the next one waiting for you.
Leslie Davis & the Perch & Oak Team

Our Story & What We Believe
Home Is Where Life Unfolds
Like a welcoming front porch beneath a strong oak tree, we believe everyone deserves a place where they feel seen, welcomed, and at home. Real estate, to us, is about so much more than buying or selling property. It's about helping people build lives rooted in trust, strengthened by meaningful relationships, and grounded in the things that matter most.
You may notice a heron resting on an oak branch in our mark. Herons are patient, instinctive birds. They don't land on just any branch; they wait for the one with the clearest view and the safest footing. That's exactly how we approach every listing entrusted to us.
Hospitality
Everyone who works with us should feel welcomed, not processed.
Wisdom
We guide with real experience, clarity, and honesty, even when it's not what you want to hear.
Stewardship
We treat your equity, your timeline, and your trust as things we've been entrusted with.
Hope
Every move is the beginning of something new, and we treat it that way.
Legacy
We're building relationships that matter long after your closing day.
A home warranty, on us.
Every seller who entrusts their home to Perch & Oak receives a home warranty at no cost during the listing period.
Support for those who serve.
Military members and veterans, healthcare workers, teachers, and front-line workers receive a discounted commission rate.

Your Path, Start to Sold
From Preparing to Moving Forward
Selling well isn't one big leap. It's a series of well-guided steps. Here's exactly what each one looks like with us.
Preparing Your Perch
Every good sale starts long before a sign goes in the yard. This is where we walk through your home together, and build a plan instead of guessing our way through it.
- An honest, in-person walkthrough — we'll go room to room together, so recommendations are specific to your home, not a generic checklist.
- A real contracting resource on your team, not just a repair list — quick-win repairs and updates can actually get scheduled and done.
- Decluttering and depersonalizing guidance that helps buyers picture their own life in your space, without an expensive full-scale renovation.
- A home warranty, included — giving buyers extra confidence and you extra protection during the listing period, at no cost to you.
- Paperwork handled early — disclosures, HOA documents, and title questions get addressed up front, so nothing stalls you once you're under contract.
Positioning Your Perch
Pricing is a strategy, not a guess, and it's the single biggest lever in how quickly and how well your home sells. We pull a comparative market analysis from homes that have actually closed nearby, not just what's listed, and weigh it against current buyer activity, seasonality, and your own timeline and goals.
- A comparative market analysis built from real, closed comparables — not a number that simply feels good.
- A clear read on current conditions, so overpricing (the number one reason a well-prepared home sits) and underpricing are both off the table.
- A plain-language walkthrough of how commission actually works today — you negotiate your listing fee directly with us, and decide, deal by deal, whether and how much to offer toward a buyer's agent.
Presenting Your Perch
Once your price and prep are set, your home needs to be seen by the right people, everywhere they're looking.
- Professional photography, plus digitally enhanced 3D video walkthroughs for the right listings.
- Staging guidance tailored to how today's buyers actually shop.
- MLS syndication to hundreds of top real estate sites within minutes of going live.
- Premier Agent status on Homes.com, plus targeted social and digital advertising, so your home shows up more than once and hope.
- Open houses and broker previews scheduled with intention, and professional signage and print materials that reflect the quality of your home.
Bringing Buyers Home
This is where preparation meets negotiation, and where having an experienced advocate at the table pays for itself.
- Showing coordination and honest feedback, so you always know how buyers are responding, even when the feedback is hard to hear.
- Offer review, side by side — we break down price, terms, contingencies, and buyer qualification so you're comparing full pictures, not just headline numbers.
- Negotiation strategy for multiple-offer scenarios, appraisal gaps, and repair requests.
- Every deadline tracked, on paper — our transaction concierge keeps inspection, financing, and closing dates on schedule so nothing quietly slips.
Moving Forward
Closing day isn't the finish line. It's the handoff into whatever comes next for you.
- A clear walkthrough of closing day — what to expect, what to bring, and what happens with your proceeds.
- Trusted vendor referrals for movers, cleaners, and everything in between, from our own network.
- We stay in touch — market updates, an annual check-in, and a resource for life, not just for one transaction. That's Gold Perch for Life™.
Every perch is temporary by design, a good rest before the next flight. Our job is simply to help you leave this one well, so wherever you land next feels just as much like home.

Our Promise to You
The Gold Perch Guarantee™
You do not make moves like this every day — but we do. Our job is to guide you smoothly through the process, take as much fear and uncertainty out of the experience as possible, and help you make informed decisions with confidence.
See all eight promisesQuestions worth asking
How do you determine what my home is worth?
We build a comparative market analysis from homes that have actually closed near you, then weigh it against current buyer demand, seasonality, condition, and your goals.
How long will it take to sell?
MLS-wide, recent data shows an average around 61 days. Your timeline depends on price, condition, location, and demand, so we give you a home-specific estimate rather than a generic promise.
Do I need to make repairs before listing?
Not always. We focus on the few changes most likely to affect price, presentation, or days on market, and our contracting resource can help with practical pre-listing work.
How does commission work?
You negotiate your listing fee directly with us. Buyer-agent compensation is a separate strategic decision that can be considered case by case. We explain the tradeoffs before you sign.
What if my home does not sell right away?
We revisit the data, pricing, showing feedback, condition, and marketing with you, then make a thoughtful adjustment rather than simply waiting it out.
