Selling

Thinking about selling? Start with the numbers, not the sign.

You've been in the house a long time. More rooms than you use. The stairs, the yard, the upkeep. You're not sure you're ready, and you're not sure where you'd go. That's normal. Here's how we figure it out.

What we go over before anything is listed

  1. 01

    What it's worth today

    Based on what's actually selling near you, not a website guess.

  2. 02

    What selling costs

    Commission, transfer tax, title, escrow, repairs. Every line, up front.

  3. 03

    What you walk away with

    The number that matters. Try it yourself with the calculator below.

  4. 04

    Where you could go next

    Smaller, single level, closer to family. What your equity really buys.

  5. 05

    When to move

    Sell first or buy first, and how to avoid paying for two homes.

Three pricing plans. Honest tradeoffs. You choose.

Plan A: test the ceiling

Priced at the top of what's selling. Can bring multiple offers. The risk: if it sits, it looks stale.

Plan B: match the market

Priced where similar homes are selling. Steady interest. This is where most sellers land.

Plan C: create competition

Priced a little under to bring a crowd fast. Best when speed matters more than the last dollar.

What would I walk away with?

Put in a price and see every cost and your net, in about a minute.
