5 Questions to Ask Before Selling Your Home

Thinking about selling your home? 🏡 You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not expected to have all the answers right away. Selling a home is a big decision, and while it can feel overwhelming at first, asking the right questions can make the process smoother and more successful from day one.

Here are 5 key questions every homeowner should ask before listing their home — and how I can help you answer them:

1️⃣ What’s My Home Worth?

Knowing your home’s value in today’s market is essential for setting a competitive asking price. I offer a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to give you a clear picture of what similar homes in your area are selling for and what buyers are willing to pay. This helps you list with confidence and strategy — not guesswork.

2️⃣ What’s My Moving Timeline?

Are you hoping for a quick sale or do you have flexibility? Your timeline impacts how we market your home, plan showings, and structure your sale. Whether you're relocating, downsizing, or upsizing, understanding your timeframe helps us build a game plan that aligns with your lifestyle and goals.

3️⃣ Where Will I Go Next?

Selling your home is just one half of the equation. Knowing where you're headed next — whether it's buying another home locally, renting, or moving out of state — shapes your next steps. I can help you plan that transition smoothly and assist you with buying, too, if you're staying in the area.

4️⃣ What Can I Afford?

This is where a trusted lender comes in. If you plan to buy another home after selling, knowing what you can afford in today’s market is crucial. I can connect you with experienced lenders who will walk you through the numbers and get you pre-approved so you can shop with clarity and confidence.

5️⃣ Is My Home Ready to Market?

First impressions matter. Before listing, we’ll walk through your home together and identify opportunities to enhance its appeal — from staging and curb appeal tips to simple repairs that could boost value. I’ll guide you on how to show your home in the best light so it captures buyers’ attention from the start.

Final Thoughts

Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful when you have a solid plan and a trusted professional on your side. These five questions are the foundation of a successful home sale — and I’m here to help you answer each one with clarity, care, and confidence.
