In June, roughly 15% of pending sales didn’t make it to closing.

Why? The reasons are going to vary. But a recent survey of agents shows a lot of the time it’s because buyers are quick to walk if the home inspection uncovers a big issue.

The good news is there’s a simple way for sellers to get ahead of that – and that’s a pre-listing inspection.

That’s an inspection you get for yourself before you list, so you can find and fix any issues before they become deal breakers for buyers.

If you're thinking about selling soon, let’s talk strategy. Because depending on your house and our market, it may make sense to spend a few hundred dollars now to spare you the headaches.

Think new homes always cost more? Not right now.

The latest data shows the median price of a newly built home is actually over $30K less than an existing one.

That’s because builders are adjusting prices and offering serious incentives to move inventory. It’s also because builders have been focusing on smaller homes lately.

If price was the reason you ruled out new construction, it might be time for another look. Want to see what’s available near you? Let’s chat.

Selling your house without an agent might feel like a shortcut (and a money saver)… until it costs you thousands.

Last year, on average, homes sold with an agent went for 15% more than those that sold without the help of an agent.

And here's why the gap is so big. The market is balancing out. There are more homes for buyers to choose from right now, and that means the strategies that worked a year or two ago won’t work today.

The best agents have the skills and experience to sell in a shifting market. And if you try to sell without that expertise, chances are you’re going to feel it in your bottom line.

So, before you decide to tackle it on your own, let’s have a quick conversation about what’s changing and what’s working right now so you don’t leave money on the table.
