How Far In Advance Should You Contact Your Agent When Selling Your Home?

The best time to reach out to a real estate agent (like us!) is as soon as the idea of selling your home first crosses your mind. Our guidance early in the process can be invaluable—we will provide a realistic sense of your home’s market value, highlight small updates or repairs that could boost appeal, and help you understand what the selling process will look like in your specific market. Getting a professional opinion upfront allows you to make informed decisions and avoid surprises later.

Connecting with us early also gives you time to prepare your home properly. From decluttering and staging to arranging professional photos, the details matter when it comes to attracting buyers. We will provide a clear timeline and a checklist, so you know what to prioritize and when. This not only maximizes your home’s marketability but also minimizes the stress of scrambling at the last minute.

Finally, an early conversation with us ensures you’re ready to act when the timing is right. Real estate markets can shift quickly—whether it’s an uptick in buyer demand or an influx of inventory in your neighborhood. By building a relationship with us ahead of time, you’ll be positioned to list strategically, negotiate confidently, and achieve the best outcome for your sale.
