Timing is everything when it comes to selling your home 🏡

Over the years, we have seen how the timing of the market can impact the sale of a home. Statistics continue to support that late spring — specifically May — is still the best time to list your home. Sellers have seen added 12.6% boost in the sale price!

If you’re thinking about selling this spring, that conversation should start NOW! Listing a home the RIGHT way takes some preparation. This preparation will include an in depth market analysis, pricing and marketing strategy, cleaning, decluttering, touch ups that need to happen (if any), staging, added some curb appeal, professional photos and video, and signage.

Our brokerage has partnered with an excellent company, Coba Construction, who will work on your house repairs and update needs, and take their payment from escrow at closing. So no upfront costs! Sometimes investing a little bit of money in repairs or updates, can get you HUGE returns on your sales price.

We have wonderful local agents with years of experience that can help get you to the closing finish line with the most money possible. With our selling strategies, we promise when the timing is right, your home will be the property everyone is talking about!

Thinking about selling your home? Want to know how much your house is worth? Want to know more about how to maximize your profit with getting updates done prior to listing?

As the real estate market begins to show signs of heating up in preparation for the Spring, we have started to receive calls and messages from homeowners who are wanting to sell but who are unsure of where to start with getting their homes ready for the market.

Selling your home in a busy market can be both exciting and also stressful. You have the potential to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, but you're potentially going to be dealing with a fast-paced, competitive market…but only if you are priced right and presented well.

What we say? Take a deep breath. We’ve got you. 🤗 We have a team of experts ready to help get your house red carpet ready. We will put together a personalized action plan and work seamlessly to get you and your property ready for market.

Getting your home ready for the market is like most things in life: the anticipation can be the worst part. But remember, hiring a solid agent is KEY to helping you prepare, price, market, and negotiate top dollar for your home. We are here to guide you every step of the way! We have great listing packages customizable to exactly what you need. Want to know more? Just ask? We’d love to chat!

Bidding wars are making a come back! 🏡🫢

Did you know that Spring is peak home buying season, with 40% of purchases happening between March and June?! We are seeing it ramp up already!

If you’re planning to buy a home this Spring, it’s likely that you will have to bring your real estate A game. Lucky we have an A Team!

Here are a few tips to help you win the bidding war and secure your dream home...

✔️ Be ready to act fast.
In a hot market, homes don’t last long. Be prepared to act quickly and make an offer as soon as you find the perfect home. This means getting pre-approval and knowing all your term limits from a lender BEFORE starting your search.

✔️ Be prepared to make a strong offer.
In a competitive market, you may need to implement strategies to make an offer standout. Don’t worry, we have quite a few tricks up our sleeves to help your offer be the most competitive.

✔️ Be flexible.
Be open to different neighborhoods, home styles, and move-in dates. The more flexible you are, the more options you’ll have.

•Pro tip: Create a wants vs. needs list before you start searching, but keep it fluid…you might surprise yourself!

We love helping clients win! The sooner we can start preparing for your purchase the better, send us a message and let’s get started!

Statistics:
*According to NAR, spring is often the busiest season for home sales, with 40% of typical existing-home purchases taking place between March and June.
