When You Picture Selling Your Home, What Feelings Come Up?

Selling triggers all kinds of emotions...let's unpack these, together!

Selling a house isn’t just about listings and legalities. It’s about how you feel about letting go of one chapter and stepping into the next.

And if those feelings are keeping you from making a move, then it’s probably time to have a chat with someone…

Selling Triggers All Kinds of Emotions

Maybe when you imagine selling, you feel:
  • A bit anxious about the work involved
  • Nostalgic or uncertain about leaving your home
  • Fearful of making the wrong decision
  • Completely overwhelmed by the process
All totally valid.


So, What Do You Do with Those Feelings?

You chat about them. With people who understand what it actually means to move house, not just from a transaction perspective, but from a human one.
That’s where we come in.
As self-employed avocado property partners, we work closely with people in Woodley & Earley, who are just starting to think about moving. Our role isn’t just to book valuations, it's to support you in understanding your options, building a plan, and knowing what comes next.

What We Could Talk About:

  • What’s really stopping you
  • What needs to happen first
  • Who you might need to speak to (financial advisers, surveyors, solicitors)
  • What’s happening in the market right now
  • And what your ideal outcome looks like

Sometimes the next step isn’t listing your home. It’s talking. So, if you’re feeling stuck, we’d love to help you unpack things.
Let’s make space for the next chapter, together.

As the summer draws to a close, it’s time for your September 2025 Reading Market Update, where I share everything you need to know about the latest property trends across RG1, RG2, RG30 and RG31.

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

Are You Searching These Phrases? “My home isn’t selling, and I don’t know why.” “I feel stuck in a sole agency agreement.” “How do I get things moving again with my property sale?” If yes, it means you’re in what we call the “agent gap”, when your agent’s actions no longer match your goals...

No one’s going to knock on your door and say, “Today’s the day.” So instead, let’s talk about what really matters: You. And how you feel about selling your home.
