When you first decide to sell your house, you need to start with an honest conversation with yourself about the condition of your home. I don’t mean whether it has the latest trend in countertops. I mean is it clean, is it maintained, is anything broken. If you think a buyer is going to ignore that ceiling stain or the home inspector won’t notice that loose stair tread, you are practicing wishful thinking and it will hold up the sale of your home. 

A new buyer client recently asked me “Don’t the sellers pay our closing costs?” and it was a good reminder that there is A LOT of misleading information out there that can confuse both buyers and sellers.

s there someone that did a great job for you in the past year that you would recommend to other home owners or buyers? A plumber who came to the rescue? A decorator who chose the most perfect paint color? A contractor who came in under budget? A handyman who fixed that thing you’ve been ignoring for months?

Do you have to paint your cool, moody room?

Your house deserves special treatment.

You deserve a high level of service and communication. 

I’m sorry to see your listing expired, because it should have sold.

Why do you think it didn’t sell? A house that's seen minimal interest for months is frustrating. That's why it's important to take a step back and assess exactly why your house didn’t sell.

You, as a seller, do not have to make every repair a buyer requests. Buyers, you cannot count on getting a brand-new house out of the purchase of an existing house. However, both sides do have an obligation to negotiate in good faith. What does that mean?

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of getting your house ready to sell? That is completely normal. Most of us don’t keep our homes show-ready all the time. But you can do it with support, trusted contractors, and pay-at-closing services. Here’s how I helped one of my clients recently.
