Jennifer Bergeron Sells Homes

I think I would go back to one of those ordinary rooms nobody knew would become important.
The kitchen before everyone arrived. The hallway light left on at night. The chair someone always claimed. The sound of a familiar door opening.
If you could return to one home from your past for an hour, where would you go?

If waking up in your new home before the holidays is on the list, this is the month to start. 🍂

Here’s roughly how it goes:

Pre-approval — one to two weeks
Looking — two to four weeks, and faster in the fall because there are fewer people out
Under contract — thirty to forty-five days
Closing — one day
Then you’re in.

Count it forward from today and it lands in December. Which is why September is the month people either start, or quietly decide to wait until spring and compete with everyone else who did the same.

No pressure either way. But if a move before the holidays is genuinely the goal, send me a message and I’ll tell you honestly whether the timing still works. 🤍

Photos of the inside of your home are probably still online. 🔒

When you bought it, the listing didn't disappear. Every room, every door, every window — still sitting on a search result for anyone who types in your address.

It isn't any one photo. It's what they add up to. Someone can learn the layout of your house before they reach your driveway.

The good news is it takes about two minutes to fix, and the first step isn't a website at all — it's a phone call to whoever listed your home.

Swipe for the whole thing, Zillow included.

Want the rest — Redfin, Realtor.com, the map apps, and the places people forget? Comment PRIVATE and I'll send you the guide. Free, no strings. 🤍

Every one of these words is doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to. 🏡

Buyers have read a thousand listings. They translate this stuff instantly, and the second they do, they stop trusting the rest of the description.

Here’s what I write instead:

Cozy → the actual square footage, and what the space is genuinely good for.

Great bones → name the good thing specifically. Original oak floors. Nine-foot ceilings. Specifics sound like confidence; “bones” sounds like a warning.

Motivated seller → nothing. Never write this. If there’s flexibility on timing, say flexible closing date — that’s a benefit, not a weakness.

Must see to appreciate → fix the photos.

TLC → say what needs doing and roughly what it costs. Buyers who want a project are looking for exactly that.

The pattern is the same throughout: a vague adjective makes buyers assume the worst. A specific fact lets them decide for themselves.

Thinking about listing this fall? Send me a message and I’ll tell you honestly what your house actually needs said about it. 🤍

A peek at my texts this week. 🍂

Same three questions, over and over, from people who assumed fall was the wrong time to buy.

It isn’t. It’s the quiet one — fewer buyers in the room, and sellers who’ve had all summer to get realistic.

If any of these sound like the conversation happening in your house right now, comment EDGE and I’ll send you The Fall Buyer’s Edge — what to ask for, what to look for, and the timeline to be in before the holidays. 🤍
