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.
