What Would Happen If You Waited Too Long to Sell Your Home?
Serious buyers are always looking. But they can only view what’s available.
You might not be in a rush to sell. And that’s totally okay.
But there’s a difference between waiting intentionally and stalling because you’re unsure of what to expect.

You Might Miss the Buyer Who Would Have Loved Your Home
Serious buyers are always looking. But they can only view what’s available. If your house isn’t on the market, they’re not going to wait.
I’ve seen properties just like yours snapped up by people who were ready to go, and sellers kick themselves for not getting listed sooner.
Market Conditions Change
It could be interest rates. It could be buyer behaviour. It could be local demand. But the market moves, and not always in your favour.
Getting advice from someone local can help you understand your window of opportunity and how to prepare for it.

Selling isn’t instant. Even if you list tomorrow, there are steps: photography, legal prep, viewings, offers, and conveyancing.

You don’t need to make a decision today. But here’s what I suggest:
• Order your copy of Selling Your Family Home from Amazon for a step-by-step guide on what you need to know about moving home
• And if your gut is saying, “Maybe soon,” let’s chat now, so when the time comes, you’re not scrambling
