⁣
If you have an assumable loan with a low interest rate, it could be an important selling point for your home. Reach out for a free consultation to learn more! ⁣

As real estate professionals, we know what works (and what doesn’t). Here are 3 things we would never do when selling our own homes: ⁣
⁣
❌ Skip the prep work.We understand that buyers want a well-maintained, clean, and clutter-free home—and are turned off by anything less. ⁣
⁣
❌ Fail to keep our property available and show-ready.We know that when a home isn’t available for a buyer to tour, they can quickly move on to the next option. ⁣
⁣
❌ Set an asking price that’s too high.We recognize that pricing a home properly is the best way to achieve a fast and profitable sale. ⁣
⁣
Now that you know what we wouldn’t do, find out what we WOULD DO! Reach out to schedule a free home seller consultation. ⁣

Moving can be expensive—and we aren’t just talking about the home purchase! Here are a few of our top tips to cut costs. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Declutter before you pack. Don’t spend money moving items that you no longer need. Instead, hold a yard sale to help fund your move. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Get multiple quotes. The cost of movers can vary widely, so explore a few options to ensure you aren’t being overcharged. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Avoid paying for packing supplies. Post on your community Facebook group or check with local stores for leftover boxes. ⁣
⁣
🚚 Pack strategically. If you nest items inside one another, you may be able to get away with a smaller, less expensive moving truck. ⁣
