Thinking About Selling Next Spring? Start This Summer.

One of the biggest mistakes I see sellers make is waiting until they're ready to list before thinking about repairs.

The homes that sell the quickest—and often for the strongest price—are usually the ones where the owners planned ahead.

Summer is actually a great time to:

  • Touch up paint

  • Service the HVAC

  • Inspect the roof

  • Fix little things you've been putting off

  • Declutter one room at a time

Doing a little each month is much easier than trying to do everything two weeks before your photographer shows up.

And if you're thinking about selling within the next year, let's put together a strategy now. There's no pressure—just a plan.
