Why are you selling?

Job relocation? Upsizing or downsizing? Investment property you're ready to liquidate? Divorce, financial pressure, lifestyle change? Your reason matters because it impacts your timeline, pricing strategy, and how much flexibility you have.

What's your timeline?

Do you need to sell in the next 60 days, or are you exploring the idea for six months from now? If you're not in a rush, you have more room to wait for the right offer. If you need to move fast, you'll price and market accordingly.

Where are you going next?

Have you found your next home? Are you renting temporarily? Moving out of state? Coordinating a sale and a purchase simultaneously is tricky but doable—we help clients navigate this all the time. Just don't list your home without a plan for where you're going.

What's the market doing?

Is it a seller's market (low inventory, high demand, homes selling fast)? Or a buyer's market (lots of inventory, slower sales, more negotiation)? We can tell you what's happening right now in your neighborhood and what that means for your sale.

Can you afford to sell?

Sounds like a weird question, but selling costs money. Agent commissions, closing costs, repairs or updates, moving expenses. Make sure you'll walk away with enough equity to cover your next move.
