Thinking of selling your home For Sale By Owner (FSBO)? Here's why hiring a real estate agent is the smarter move.
I had a cash buyer ready to close fast on a townhome. She found a FSBO listing that looked perfect, so I reached out to the seller. After 2.5 weeks with no response, my client moved on and closed on another home in the same development.
The FSBO seller later admitted he was overwhelmed and missed serious buyers because he couldn’t manage the inquiries.
Selling a home is a full-time job. Without professional marketing, pricing strategy, and buyer screening, you risk losing time and money.
A real estate agent helps you sell faster, maximize your home's value, and reach more qualified buyers. Don't leave money on the table trying to go it alone.

A little kindness can go a long way in real estate. 💛
A first-time home buyer I was helping nearly lost her dream home just days before closing due to last-minute HOA and insurance issues. After 48 hours of dead ends, the lender suggested I contact a real estate agent who recently sold in the same development.
That local real estate agent not only shared how they handled a similar issue but also provided the exact HOA documentation we needed. Because of their help, the deal was saved and my client closed on her first home.
Buying a home can come with unexpected challenges, and having the right real estate professionals in your corner makes all the difference. It’s proof that teamwork, experience, and kindness are essential in getting to the closing table.

⚠️ As the real estate market heats up, strong agent-to-agent communication is crucial to winning in a competitive market. ⚠️
Last year, my buyers submitted a competitive offer on a home with 12 other offers on the table. The seller wasn’t reviewing offers until Monday—four days later.
Instead of just waiting, I stayed in close communication with the listing agent, asking strategic questions to gauge where we stood. A savvy real estate agent knows how to ask the right questions without violating rules—helping buyers adjust and stay competitive.
By Monday, the listing agent called and asked for a small tweak to our offer. We made the change—and won the home!
Your agent’s negotiation skills, communication, and strategy can be the difference between getting the home or missing out.
Hiring the right buyer’s agent matters. Let’s talk if you’re buying or selling in today’s competitive housing market!
What does it mean when a real estate agent “buys a listing”? It usually means they overpromise on price just to win your listing—only to underdeliver.
I recently met with a seller and provided a detailed comparative market analysis with a realistic pricing range. I later saw the home listed $35K over my high-end recommendation with another agent. It's now been on the market for nearly 60 days with two price reductions—now listed exactly where I suggested from the start.
Overpricing your home can lead to longer days on market, multiple price drops, and lost buyer interest. In the end, it often costs sellers money and time.
If you're planning to sell your home, don’t choose the agent who tells you what you want to hear—choose the one who tells you the truth and backs it up with market data.

✨ Interviewing Realtors to sell your home? Make sure to ask how they use pre-market real estate marketing to benefit YOU, not just themselves. ✨
There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy, but any pre-listing promotion should create demand for your home—not just build attention for the agent.
Effective pre-market strategies can generate buzz, attract qualified buyers, and lead to stronger offers right out of the gate.
If you're getting ready to list your home for sale, I’d love to share proven tools and marketing techniques that help sellers maximize exposure and sell for top dollar.

Would you hire a lawyer who doesn’t know the law? Then don’t hire a real estate agent who isn’t a skilled negotiator or communicator. 🏡
In today’s housing market—where price reductions and longer days on market are becoming more common—buyers are negotiating more than ever. And they should.
If you're planning to buy or sell a home, make sure your agent can negotiate strategically and communicate clearly—with you and with other agents.
When interviewing Realtors this spring, ask them about their negotiation experience. That one question could save you thousands on one of your biggest investments.
My current client is navigating one of these tricky negotiations now, and I see this scenario far too often.
