Selling your home means strangers are about to become VERY familiar with it.

One thing sellers don’t always expect? Just how much goes into keeping a house ready for showings while you’re still living in it.

The dishes need to be done, the lawn needs to be maintained, the pets need somewhere to go, and maybe skip cooking fish the night before. 😂

And then there’s the weird part of knowing people you’ve never met are walking through your home, opening doors, looking around, and deciding what they think of it.

It’s all part of the process, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a little strange!

We’re talking about the things sellers don’t always see coming in the newest episode of Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar.

If you own an older home there are a few things you really need to know.

The bones are often better than you think.
Old growth lumber, solid plaster walls, hardwood floors hiding under the carpet. The construction quality from that era was genuinely excellent in many cases. You’re starting from a strong place.

Electrical is usually the first conversation.
Homes built before the 1960s often have wiring that doesn’t meet modern safety requirements. Get an inspection from someone who specializes in older homes. Insurance companies and future buyers will ask about it.

Get a sewer scope done.
Tree roots and clay pipes are a common problem in older neighborhoods. Catching a sewer line issue before it becomes an emergency is always less expensive than dealing with it after the fact.

Before you replace original windows get a quote on restoration first.
A well maintained original wood window can last another hundred years and is almost always better for the character of the home than a cheap vinyl replacement.

If you’re planning any renovation work test for lead paint and asbestos before you start.
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint. Homes built before the mid 1980s may have asbestos.

You finally get an offer… and somehow that’s when the anxiety kicks in. 😂

There’s the relief of okay, someone wants my house! And then almost immediately: Wait. Is this the right offer? What if a better one comes next week? What if this buyer doesn’t make it to closing? Pasted text

It’s one of those parts of selling a home that you don’t really expect until you’re in it. You spend all this time waiting for an offer, and then getting one suddenly makes everything VERY real.

That emotional whiplash is exactly what we’re talking about on this week’s Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar.

Your house needs some work before you sell. Cool. Who’s paying for it? 😂

Because “just make the updates before you list” sounds great until you start adding up what those updates actually cost.

Companies like Curbio can be an option for sellers who have equity but don’t necessarily want to come out of pocket for all that work upfront. The improvements are made before the home hits the market, then paid for when the home sells.

Which brings up a bigger question: What’s actually worth fixing before you list? What’s going to help your sale, what can we leave alone, and what are your options for paying for it?

That’s the kind of stuff we’re talking about on Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar. 🌱

If you’re getting ready to sell, you’re going to have to pack eventually. You might as well start now.

Decluttering isn’t about making your house look like no one lives there. It’s about giving buyers enough breathing room to actually see the space, the storage, and most importantly, themselves living there.

And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in the newest episode of Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar: all the little things listing agents notice when we walk through your home that you may not even see anymore.

Home sale contingencies used to feel like a dirty word. A few years ago, when sellers were choosing between multiple offers, an offer that depended on another home selling was pretty easy to push aside.

But this market looks different.

With more inventory and fewer bidding wars, we’re seeing home sale contingencies become an option again. That means you may be able to get your current home under contract, find your next one, and make an offer contingent on your current home selling.

We’re talking about this and a whole lot more in the newest episode of Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar.

EPISODE 2 IS LIVE! 🎙️🌱

We said it on the podcast: the first photo of your house is basically its dating profile picture. 😂 And before a buyer ever calls their agent to schedule a showing, there’s a good chance they’ve already driven by to check it out.

That’s just one of the things we get into in Episode 2. We’re talking about the home projects and regular maintenance that actually help protect your home’s value over time. HVAC servicing, paint, landscaping, gutters, drainage, crawl spaces, pressure washing, and all those little things that are WAY easier to deal with along the way than two weeks before you’re ready to sell.

Because no one wants to decide they’re ready to sell and realize they have six years of home maintenance to catch up on.

Seven seconds. Apparently that’s all it takes.

You know that feeling when you walk into a house and immediately think, ohhhh. This is it.

But buyers have options right now, and sometimes that instant YES turns into… wait, should I see five more houses just to make sure?

In our first episode of Rooted in Real Estate with Sage & Cedar, we’re talking about what’s actually going through buyers’ heads when they walk through a home, why more options can sometimes mean more indecision, and what that means when you’re the one trying to sell.

🚨We made a podcast 🚨

It’s called Rooted, and it’s basically where we talk about the stuff we’d be talking about anyway… we just happen to have microphones now.

Real estate, Atlanta, houses we can’t stop thinking about, neighborhoods worth knowing, design decisions we need to discuss, what’s happening in the market, and the truly bizarre things you see after enough years of walking through other people’s homes.

There will be opinions. There will be tangents. There will probably be some oversharing.

You don’t have to be buying a house. You just have to like houses, Atlanta, or other people’s business.

Episode 1 is out now wherever you listen (also linked in bio) 🌱🎧
