Selling Your Home
Thinking about selling? Start before the listing.
Before the photos, the sign, or the first showing, figure out what the house actually needs—and what probably isn’t worth spending money on.

Before You Get the House Ready
Don’t renovate just because you’re selling.
Some things are worth addressing. Some deserve a closer look. Some are probably better left alone.
Things that could become real distractions.
Questions we would want answered before spending money.
Good, functional things a buyer may simply change to their own taste.
Decisions that depend on the actual house—not generic advice.
The goal is not to make the house brand new. It is to make good decisions before buyers see it.

You know the house too well.
After living somewhere for years, it is easy to stop seeing the things a buyer will notice immediately.
What feels cared for—and what feels unfinished?
What helps the house feel bright, clear and easy to understand?
What could distract from the parts of the home buyers should remember?
What questions could come up once buyers start looking closely?
Sometimes the most useful advice is what not to change.
When the House Is Ready
Then we show people what makes it worth seeing.
Buyers usually meet the home on a screen first. The photography, film and story should make the property easier to understand before they ever walk through it.
Light, scale, materials, architecture and the strongest moments.
Movement, atmosphere and how the spaces connect.
What is actually worth knowing—not a wall of adjectives.
Present the property consistently wherever buyers encounter it.
After the Launch
Getting an offer is not the end of the job.
Price matters. So do the terms, timing, financing, contingencies and what happens after the contract is signed.
Look at the whole offer.
Price is only one part of what you are agreeing to.
Focus on the terms that actually matter.
Good negotiation is not simply asking for a bigger number.
Keep the deal moving.
Inspections, appraisal, financing, title and deadlines still need attention.
Get all the way to settlement.
The goal is not simply to accept an offer. It is to complete the sale.
Selling One. Buying Another.
What happens after this house sells?
If you need to sell this home and buy another one, the two decisions should be planned together.
How much of the next purchase depends on this sale?
Do you want to sell first—or would you rather secure the next home first?
How much temporary overlap are you comfortable carrying?
What does another home need to give you to make all of this worth it?
