I’m thinking about selling my house. What do I do first?
If you’re thinking about selling, you’re probably unsure where to start. That’s normal. Most homeowners only do this a few times in their life.
The first step isn’t deciding yet. It’s understanding what the process actually looks like, so you’re not guessing.
Do I need to decide right now if I’m selling?
No — and also, you don’t need to be undecided to reach out.
Some people are just starting to think.
Some already know they want to sell and want to move forward quickly.
Wherever you are in the process, I’m happy to support you and help you think through next steps.
What usually happens when I first reach out?
I’ll ask for the address first.
That lets me look at the basics — nearby sales, room count, lot size, and overall context.
With that information, I can prepare properly for our first meeting at your home and come ready to talk through details, options, and what (if anything) needs to be done.
What is the first meeting like?
I don’t follow a script.
I start by understanding your motivation, your “why,” and your timeline.
Based on your concerns and questions, we go deeper where it matters to you.
I always come fully prepared with data and pricing opinions.
If you’re ready to sell right away, I’m ready too.
Why don’t you start with price right away?
Price is important, and we will get there.
But pricing depends on many factors — condition, renovation level, presentation, timeline, and how quickly you want to sell.
Without that context, price discussions tend to create more stress than clarity.
If timing is one of your concerns, I walk through that separately here:
→ Is this even a good time to sell my house?
What usually changes after the first meeting?
Most sellers feel relieved — and more importantly, confident.
Not because everything is decided, but because they understand the process and what lies ahead.
My goal is to help clients make informed, confident decisions in one of the biggest life decisions they’ll ever make.
I’ve got you. Don’t worry.
