If you’re thinking about selling your home in 2026, don’t guess on the tax side.

A lot of homeowners hear “capital gains” and assume they’re automatically going to owe a massive tax bill.

That’s not always true.

If the property is your primary residence and you lived there for at least 2 out of the last 5 years, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 in gains if you’re single, or up to $500,000 if you’re married filing jointly.

There are exceptions, and your exact situation matters.

Before you sell, make sure you understand the numbers, the timing, and the planning options available to you.

DM me the word TAX and we can talk through what selling could look like before you make a move.

The path to homeownership looks different for everyone!

And it’s ok, if your path is a little rocky to start.

Most people don’t have perfect credit or finances, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of! 👏

What I would hate to see is you hold off on buying a home because you’re nervous about finding out what’s possible.

When you really think about it, there are 2 scenarios that can happen…

1️⃣ you find out that you can buy a home right now!

2️⃣ you find out you need to do a little work before buying a home in the future.

And if you need to improve your credit, start saving, or get your finances in order, you’ll have a plan to do so!

I know people worry about their agent reviewing their finances, but in reality, that process is completely confidential and primarily on the mortgage side.

So, if this post has you thinking, let’s set up a homebuyer consultation where I go over the steps with you and recommend local lenders who can review all the numbers for you! DM me to get started 💬

It’s not about doing everything… It's about doing the right things before your home even hits the market.

Prep like 👇

✔️ Making sure your home feels clean and inviting is usually all that’s needed vs a full renovation.

✔️ Taking care of the small things buyers notice right away

Loose handles, scuffed walls, stains on the carpet… the little details add up more than you think.

✔️ Pricing and positioning your home correctly from the start

The first couple of weeks on the market are crucial, and pricing it right can actually increase demand and offers.

A lot of sellers think they need to do a full refresh before listing, but most of the time it’s just about making sure your home shows well and stands out right away.

And having a plan going into it makes that process a lot easier 🏡

After walking through enough homes, there are certain things that stand out right away… and they’re not always the obvious ones.

Like an older roof 🏠 that might need to be replaced before you can get insurance on the home.

Or signs of bigger inspection issues 🔍 like foundation cracks, water damage, or outdated systems that could mean costly repairs.

I also pay attention to location beyond the commute, like 📍 backing up to busy roads, unusual lot placement, or anything that might limit future resale appeal.

And, of course, I’m looking at long-term value and crunching the numbers to see how that area has historically appreciated.

None of these are always deal-breakers… but they are the kinds of details you should be aware of.

That’s why it matters to look beyond what’s easy to see, like layout and upgrades in a home.

And it’s also why working with someone experienced makes a difference!

This probably isn't the answer you thought I'd give...

Because yes, I help people buy and sell homes…

But more than that, I’m helping people move toward something.

That might mean a fresh start, more space, a better way of life, or a long-term goal you’ve been thinking about for a while.

Wherever it is that you’re going, that’s what I’m working on 🙌

Owning a home > than renting when it comes to making the space your own and the stability of not being a renter.

But have you considered owning a home to increase your net worth?

Here’s how it could work for you ⤵️

As you own the home, it can appreciate in value over time.

This then increases your home's equity (how much the home is worth minus what you owe) 💸

Just by owning your home for a period of time, you have an asset that’s grown in value and contributes to your net worth.

Then, when you sell, you'll walk away with more money in your pocket or as an investment in another opportunity.

For example, you could move towards owning income or rental properties, where you also benefit from collecting monthly rental payments.

This is money you can save or reinvest to grow your net worth, or keep receiving as ongoing passive income.

Either way, you'll have options for the future if you make a plan for real estate today 🙌

If I were selling a home right now, one thing I’d pay really close attention to is how it’s showing up on social 👀

Today, most buyers aren’t just looking at homes for sale on search sites like Zillow.

They’re scrolling away and finding their next home on social.

And the listings that stand out aren’t boring posts. They’re presented in a way that makes people stop and pay attention.

🤳 I’m talking short-form video walkthroughs, lifestyle clips that show what it actually feels like to live there, and creative content that gets people curious before they’ve even booked a showing.

This type of social strategy builds interest early, and that momentum can carry into showings and offers.

So, the one thing I definitely wouldn’t compromise on when selling is working with an agent who has a proven social strategy.

I’m always happy to share mine, and I encourage you to take a look at a listing agent’s social presence before you list your home with them.

It’s always worth taking a look at how an agent is already marketing homes and how they show up online.

That might even tell you a lot about how they’ll show up for your listing too 🤔🏡
