Every seller hopes to sell their home quickly and for top dollar, but it takes more than just luck to make that happen. The key is to make a lasting impression on potential buyers. That means planning ahead and getting your home ready to shine.

Swipe → to see three essential steps I recommend every seller take before listing their home that can make all the difference in getting top dollar.

With recent drops in interest rates, you might be asking yourself if now is the perfect time to refinance your home. But here's the thing — the math isn’t as simple as comparing your current interest rate to the rate you can qualify for now.

Locking in a lower rate is an important factor to consider, however it shouldn't be the only factor. Here are a few other factors you should keep in mind:

• Your equity. Make sure you have equity available in your home and your home's value has not dropped.
• Your credit score and current employment. Refinancing means qualifying for a mortgage again, so make sure you still have good-standing credit and solid employment.
• How long you plan to live in the home. There are costs associated with refinancing, so make sure you calculate your break-even point.

Still wondering if now might be the right time? Swipe → for a few reasons why you may want to consider refinancing if you've purchased a home in the last two years.

That’s right — I’m not here to be salesy and pressure you into moving, and I don't care if you want to continue renting, either. Whether you’re thinking about buying or selling or just have questions about the market, I’m here for you. My goal is to be a resource and guide always, no strings attached.
... and NO, you are not wasting my time.

Have a question about what improvements have the best return in the event that you sell? Wondering what your current equity position is? Curious to understand the first steps of the homebuying process? Trying to figure out what you can afford?

Important discussions are necessary so that you can understand all of your options in order to find the best route for your unique situation.

Let me be your resource — I'm just a text, call, or DM away!

When trying to achieve a goal, remember to take consistent action, and don't expect the road to be free of bumps, bruises, or detours. Every small step brings you closer, and it's the journey and the consistent effort that truly count.

Perfection is an illusion, and striving for perfection sets you up for failure. Striving for progress over perfection means being relentless in learning, growing, evolving, and improving.

So embrace each challenge, celebrate every win, and keep moving forward.

When it comes to protecting your home and what is likely your largest investment, having a personal connection with your homeowner’s insurance agent can make a world of difference.

Knowing your home insurance agent personally ensures your home is well-protected and gives you peace of mind, knowing a reliable professional is looking out for your best interests. Schedule a face-to-face meeting and take the time to get to know your agent—you'll appreciate the benefits that come with it.
