1. Know Your Numbers First - Get pre-approved for a mortgage so you understand your budget and can act quickly when you find the right property. Factor in all costs—property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, maintenance, and potential renovations. 2. Clarify Your Must-Haves vs. Nice-to-Haves - List essentials such as number of bedrooms, commute time, or school district. Stay flexible on features that can be added later (paint colors, fixtures, landscaping).

1. Price It Right From the Start - Overpricing can cause a home to sit on the market and eventually sell for less. Use a comparative market analysis (CMA) and current trends to set a competitive price. 2. Boost Curb Appeal - First impressions matter: tidy landscaping, fresh paint on the front door, clean walkways. Small upgrades outside can add big perceived value. 3. Declutter and Depersonalize - Remove excess furniture, personal photos, and knickknacks so buyers can picture themselves living there. Consider short-term storage for bulky items. 4. Make Minor Repairs and Updates - Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, chipped paint, and burnt-out bulbs. Simple updates—like modern hardware or new light fixtures can refresh a space without major expense. 5. Deep Clean - Professionally clean carpets, windows, and every surface. A spotless home signals it’s been well cared for. 6. Stage for Success - Arrange furniture to highlight flow and space. Neutral color palettes and good lighting help buyers focus on the home’s features, not décor. 7. Highlight Upgrades and Energy Efficiency - Create a list of recent improvements (new roof, HVAC, appliances). Energy-saving features can attract cost-conscious buyers. work with an agent who offers a strong online marketing plan. 9. Stay Flexible with Showings The more accessible the home, the more potential buyers will see it. Keep the house “show ready” whenever possible. 10. Plan Your Next Move Have a clear timeline for where you’ll go after the sale so you can negotiate closing dates confidently.

I had a referral from an out of state agent. The sellers were the nicest easy going clients, trusted me and we closed a clean deal.

Someone said they thought I would be good at it, and I ended up loving it!
