I’ll be honest—the market is tougher right now, and homes that should sell are sitting longer. Before listing, I recommend a focused consultation on repairs, cleaning, staging, and especially pricing. We’ll also review how your home appears on Zillow and Redfin—not because I don’t provide a full market analysis (I do), but because that’s where most buyers start. If it’s not seen as a strong value there, they may never schedule a showing.
