TOP 10 QUESTIONS FROM HOME SELLERS
- How do I set my asking price?
A comparative market analysis (CMA) by your agent will help price your home competitively. - How should I prepare my home?
Declutter, clean, make repairs, and consider staging. First impressions matter. - How long will it take to sell?
t depends on the market, condition, and pricing—but most homes sell within a few weeks to a few months. - Do I need a real estate agent?
Agents bring marketing power, negotiation skills, and industry knowledge that often result in a better sale price. - What does it cost to sell?
Expect agent commissions (5–6%), closing costs, possible repairs, and staging expenses. - How do I handle offers?
Review all offers carefully. Consider more than just the price—look at contingencies, financing, and closing timeline. - What happens after I accept an offer?
Inspection, appraisal, and final loan approval follow. Repairs and contingencies must be addressed before closing. - Should I make repairs before listing?
Fix anything major that could deter buyers. Small updates can boost appeal and value. Your agent can help you with your possible updates. - Does staging really help?
Yes. Staged homes often sell faster and for more. Even minimal staging (decluttering, rearranging) helps. - What happens at closing?
You sign paperwork, transfer ownership, and receive sale proceeds (minus fees). Hand over the keys, and you’re done!
My Professional Journey: From Connecticut to Texas
I grew up in Orange, Connecticut, where I learned early on the value of showing up, working hard, and treating people with respect. Life took me from Connecticut to Massachusetts and Florida, then back home for a while, before eventually leading my family to Texas, where we’ve lived for the past nine years.
One of the biggest turning points for me was selling my childhood home. It wasn’t just about packing boxes or signing papers—it was emotional. That experience stuck with me. I realized real estate is about so much more than buying or selling a house. Selling means packing up memories and saying goodbye to a place that’s been part of your story. And on the other side, finding a new place means more than just square footage—it’s about the right neighborhood, good schools, a manageable commute, activities, restaurants… it’s about building a life that fits.
That’s what led me to real estate. I wanted to help people through those major life transitions—not just as an agent, but as someone who truly understands what it feels like and what’s needed for a move to feel right.
Why Real Estate: More Than a Transaction
For most people, buying or selling a home isn’t just about finding the right price or location—it’s about a major life change. It’s about the place where you’ll create memories, the home where you’ll raise your family, or the house where you’ve said goodbye to a chapter of your life. I’ve been through those moments myself, and I understand how much they mean.
Real estate is more than just contracts and paperwork; it’s about trust, listening, and guiding you through some of the most significant decisions of your life. I’ve lived through the emotions of moving multiple times and know firsthand the weight of those transitions. It’s not just about the house—it’s about the community, the school district, the little things that will make this next chapter in your life feel like home.
My goal is to be there for you, not just as an agent, but as a guide who truly cares about what this means for you. I’ll walk you through every step, making sure you feel supported, informed, and understood. Every home is a story, and I’m here to help you write the next chapter of yours.
