CALL A TRUSTED REALTOR!
Sure, we're in a seller’s market, but an experienced real estate agent can help you decide what updates (if any) you need to make before you put your home on the market.
And even though I might not tell you to redo your floors or renovate a bathroom, I *will* tour your home and come back with a list of suggested updates and improvements, such as...
?? Clear out closets
?? Paint the front door
?? Clear clutter
?? Refresh paint on walls
?? Depersonalize your home
A good real estate agent can also help you decide what’s next! If you sell your home, where will you go? Do you have a contingency plan in place if your home sells before you find a new one?
Bottom line? A real estate agent does more than just throw your home on the MLS. I will advocate and guide you through the entire home-selling process.
If you're even thinking about putting your home on the market this year, reach out and let's start planning. ??
Let's have some FUN!
You're building a brand new home and you can choose three of these amenities: tell me in the comments which you would pick!??
