Buyers approach the process through the prism of emotion, and visualizing themselves inside the home – but many also want to make a wise financial investment that will not force them to pour additional money into repairs for years to come. With that in mind, prepare your home for selling by minimizing personal items and distractions, prioritizing any necessary repairs, deep cleaning your home, and boosting your curb appeal. Most importantly, allow me to use my expertise to efficiently and effortlessly guide you through the selling process. The right listing agent can make all the difference in your experience!

While there are a plethora of factors that will contribute to your home value, you can set initial expectations by researching your local housing market, noting home features and square footage. Another aspect to consider as you assess your home value is its interior – an upgraded home interior can be the key to getting top dollar for your home.

Some interior upgrades are popular across the board, and they are more likely to make a splash with a variety of potential buyers. Kitchen, bathroom, and flooring renovations are some of the top projects you can take on in your home that are likely to get a strong return on investment when you decide to sell. A current, energy-efficient HVAC unit and hip living spaces converted from attics and basements are also extremely attractive updates in the present market.

Because the buyer needs to be able to picture their own everyday life within the home, staging is a great approach to ensuring they are able to do so. It may sound a bit intimidating, but do not fret. It is all a matter of depersonalizing the home by getting private items such as framed photographs, awards, toys, or other memorabilia out of sight. (Keep a couple of favorites on hand to give the space that warm feeling!)

In addition, consider giving your outdoor space a facelift by mowing the lawn, putting a bit of elbow grease into landscaping, and stashing away garden decorations such as gnomes. Indoors, focus your efforts on removing visible scuffs and holes, and direct your attention to the three most important rooms in the home: the living room, main suite, and kitchen.

People are continually competing for homes with multiple offers, it can be very difficult to get a contingent offer through. There's a solution for that—a Bridge Loan.

A Bridge Loan can allow you to purchase non-contingent and sell your house after the purchase property closes.

It is a very flexible program with minimal guidelines.

It is a very flexible program with low-interest rates that are made to fit your budget. All you need to do is apply for the purchase money loan, and a lender can get you the bridge loan at the same time.
