Planning to Sell Your Home in 2023?

Selling your home does not have to be stressful and overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help you get started on planning ahead ⤵️

🏡 Understand your local housing market. Take some time to connect with an experienced agent who can talk to you about the potential value of your home and help you decipher the comparable sales in your neighborhood. (It’s not all just about square footage or school zone especially when dealing with older homes that have more unique qualities.)

🏡 When you’re ready, hire a listing agent – but not just any agent. Make sure you work with a knowledgeable realtor who knows about your neighborhood and where you’d potentially want to move, but most important someone you can connect with. Your agent will be your advocate and counsel through an emotional and sometimes complicated undertaking of getting your home sold.

🏡 Set up a realistic listing timeframe. This is key! Selling a home is not a fast or overnight process, it does take time. For example, if your goal is to be on the market by April, you will need at least 2-4 weeks of prep time (sometimes more) depending on the condition of your home.

When you’re ready, reach out and I can help you determine a realistic timeframe that fits your needs as well as help coordinate any help you may need to get your house market ready.

Envisioning Full Circle

Some things in this world seem very out of reach for many of us. Purchasing a home has historically been and currently resides a momentous feat for most. Helping first time buyers take that leap into home ownership is one of the most meaningful aspects of this career. Guiding their grasp on the reigns of the adventurous ride of first time home buying is always full of reward.

Today was particularly special in this experience. Today one of my clients became an American citizen and closed on their first home. In the same day.

In a year, in a world, in a transaction where little of this seemed obtainable, all the pieces came together. The truly biggest of Congratulations to this incredible family. It’s been a bounty of heartstrings pulling this one to the finish line. I am moved by the honor of being a part of this epoch day in your lives. Welcome Home.
