Talk through a realistic price.
Discuss comparable properties, condition, location, and current competition with Carrie. Your asking price is a starting point, not a promise of what a buyer will pay.

YOU DO NOT NEED A PERFECT HOUSE TO BEGIN
First, a plan.
Then, the projects.
Before you repaint, renovate, or put your plans on hold, take a look at what actually matters for your home and your goals.
Look beyond the sale price.
Subtract your actual mortgage payoff, agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, and any buyer credits. Then account for the move and your next home.
Put preparation in order.
Ask what needs attention, what improves presentation, and what may be optional. Choose a scope you can afford; improvements do not guarantee a return.
BEFORE YOU SPEND A WEEKEND OR A DOLLAR
Bring Carrie these four things.
- Your reason for moving and preferred timing.
- A list of known issues and recent improvements.
- Your mortgage balance and any other liens.
- The question that has kept you from moving forward.
A few things you might be wondering.
Should I update everything before listing?
Start with a walkthrough and a discussion of likely buyers, condition, and your budget. Some improvements may help presentation; others may add cost without advancing your goals.
What if the proceeds are less than I expected?
Revisit your costs, timing, and next-home budget before making commitments. If the expected sale will not cover what you owe, talk to your lender early, and ask a tax or legal adviser how a shortfall could affect you. Carrie can help you think through your selling options.
Can I explore selling without choosing a listing date?
Yes. Your first conversation can focus on preparation and what you would need to feel ready. Tell Carrie the timing you have in mind.

Use your own numbers to begin a sale-proceeds estimate. Carrie can help you identify the information to refine it.
