Selling your home has its moments of joy, frustration, and sadness. It can be a real emotional rollercoaster. However, there are nine totally normal feelings you can expect to experience when selling your home:
1. Excitement: Hooray! You’ve found a new home and you can’t wait to sell your current one.
2. Anxiety: Will anyone buy your home? Is it worth your asking price? This is where we come in. We will provide some expert advice on what your home is worth and how long it will take to sell.
3. Delight: Who knew staging and updating would make your house look so good? A little bit of staging and a few minor updates can go a long way towards making you and potential buyers excited about your house.

4. Disappointment: That’s all they think your home is worth? Remember, market value is what you and the buyer agree upon. We will provide comparables so that you have a reasonable idea of what your home will sell for. Of course, some buyers will try to lowball you, but don’t take it personally.
5. Elation: Yes! You’ve got a contract on your home. This is just the start of the closing process, though, so remain calm and steady.

We will help you navigate this entire process.

6. Worry: Will the appraisal come in low? What if the inspection is bad? Will the buyers ask for repairs? We will help you navigate this process and give you advice on how to handle each situation.
7. Relief: Your house is sold and closed. Generally, people endure a lot of stress during the selling process, so it’s a relief when it’s all over.
8. Sadness: Your time in this house is really over. Just remember, you are moving to a great new house to make some wonderful new memories, and you can always carry those old memories with you.
9. Joy: It’s really done and you are on your way!
