Deciding to Sell
It goes without saying that the first step in the home-selling
process is making the decision to sell. For some, this decision will be
difficult and emotional. For others, the decision will come quite
readily. There is a plethora of reasons that spark the idea of selling
in homeowners’ minds. What I’ve found in my practice, however, is
that by the time homeowners contact me to sell their home, they
have already made the decision to sell; that is, provided they can
achieve their goals through the selling process.
One thing is absolutely certain – you are considering moving,
you are not alone! According to the U.S. Census Bureau, since the
1990s more than 40 million Americans a year decide to move.
What’s more, approximately one-third of these folks move across
a county or state line. According to a recent study by moving giant
Bekin, 70 percent of all residential moves are within the same
county. In our area, thousands of sellers successfully SOLD their
homes last year alone; that number has been fairly consistent for
several years.
