Consider your ideal time to move
When do you want to be moving on to your next adventure? Knowing the average days on market and prep time before going on the market will help to work the calendar backward to find the ideal time to begin marketing your home.
Know the current market conditions
You need to be aware of average days on market, the ratio of list price vs. sales price, then number of homes on the market, then number of homes pending, and more. These market stats will help as you determine a future list price for your home.
Consult your CPA regarding taxes
Are you aware of any tax implications you may incur by selling your home? Have you factored in capital gains? Are you fully utilizing all of your possible tax write-offs? Include your tax advisor to make the most of your proceeds.

“Lynsie is fantastic. She had our house on the market within a week of us telling her we wanted to sell - complete with a 3D tour and video. She then checked in with us every few days and let us know what she was doing to market our house and give us feedback from showings. I honestly think if we would have listened to her on price, we would have sold it on day 1. Our house still sold incredibly fast for the highest price per sf in our neighborhood. Lynsie used social media and her own extensive industry contacts to market our home and bring in real buyers. This is our second time using Lynsie as a realtor and we continued to be impressed by her high level of service- from getting the house listed and marketed, to impressive negotiation and all the closing details.”
