Do you know what causes the most common source of stress when selling your home? Is it scheduling buyer viewings? Is it the length of time it takes for your property to sell? Is it an offer that falls through?
Those things can, indeed, cause some worry! But, the number one source of stress is actually simple to avoid. It’s not understanding the process.
Even if you’re no stranger to moving, you should review the process involved in selling your current home before you list it. If you don’t, you might end up exposing yourself to anxiety that could have been easily avoided.
Say, for example, you’re concerned that your home has been listed for too long. It’s been a week and no good offers have come in. Well, if you knew, in advance, how long a home like yours typically takes to sell, then you probably would know not to worry.
It’s important that you start the process by understanding what to expect. What happens when your home is first listed? Who is going to prepare your home for the market? How long will that take? How are buyers scheduled to see your property? What happens when an offer comes in?
That’s why my team and I will always review the selling and home preparation process before you list and make sure all your questions are answered.
