IF THIS IS YOU, ASK YOURSELF

IF THIS IS YOU, ASK YOURSELF

Published 05/09/2024 | Posted by Adrienne C Wilson

1. Do you even HAVE to sell your home before you buy?
A lot of sellers are surprised to learn they don't have to sell before they buy their next home.
This can take a lot of stress off your plate because you don't have to worry about decluttering
and organizing and staging.
Sure, there's fresh paint and clean floors to worry about, but this can feel much more
manageable for some.
Also, don't forget that when you pay your monthly mortgage payment, you pay for the month
you were there (not for the month ahead). Because of this, you actually skip a payment! Let's
say you close on your new house in May. Your next payment won't be due until June!

2. Does selling your home have to be so complicated?
This is a tough question and ultimately only one you can answer.
*Technically* you could throw a sign in your yard and list your home "as is" and call it a day.
BUT you are likely selling yourself and your home short when you do this.
When you take the time and invest a little money into preparing your home for the market, you
are more likely to net more money in the sale of your home.
Pro Tip: Don't start "preparing" your home for market without first talking to your agent! I don't
want you wasting your time or money on something that isn't necessary or that won't yield you
higher profits in the end!

3. How would you rather spend your time: scrolling listings online or setting up your new house
and making it feel like HOME?

Your time is precious and how you spend it matters. Sure, the "dreaming" phase of selling and
buying a new home is usually a part of the process, but it doesn't have to last forever.
I help *Colorado* sellers go from "overwhelmed" to "I can totally do this," and I've got room on
my calendar for you! Let's meet for coffee (my treat!) and make a plan together so you can stop
the scroll and GET HOME!

Feel free to take my Seller Survey Questionnaire to help you get better organized as well!
