Advertising to sell my house can come in many different forms. Advertising is a communication intended to inform, educate, influence and remind individuals of your product.

They sound similar, but they’re not the same.
Pre-qualification gives you a general idea of what you might be able to afford, based on self-reported info.
Pre-approval is much stronger. It’s a formal review of your credit, income, and financials, and shows sellers that you’re serious.
If you're buying in 2025, skip straight to pre-approval.
In competitive markets, it gives you an edge you’ll want.

Not everything you see during a showing is part of the deal.
Here’s what’s typically included:
✔ Fixtures (things physically attached – like light fittings or wall-mounted TVs)
✔ Built-in appliances
✔ Landscaping elements
✔ Window treatments (in most cases)
But what’s not always included?
❌ Furniture
❌ Outdoor features like hot tubs or fire pits
❌ Garage storage systems
❌ Decorative mirrors
The best way to know? Review the listing details carefully – and make sure your offer clearly outlines what stays.
If you're ever in doubt, I'm here and happy to help.

Grilling season is here!
Believe it or not, for many buyers, a standout backyard can tip the scale.
If you're thinking about selling now or in future, be sure to lean into summer appeal:
✔ Fresh mulch and trimmed hedges
✔ Defined zones – dining, lounging, play
✔ Simple outdoor lighting for evening gatherings
✔ Clean grills, styled patios, and shaded seating
It’s not just about the size of your yard. It’s also how it feels to use it.
Let your outdoor space tell a story, and watch buyers imagine their next summer here!

There’s something special about enjoying a place that’s all yours – especially on the Fourth!
🏡 A backyard BBQ
✨ String lights across the patio
🎆 Fireworks from your front step
This holiday is a great way to celebrate, but it's also a time to cherish gratitude. And for many, homeownership is a key part of that freedom.
Whether you’re hosting for the first time or dreaming about a space of your own next year… I’m here to help make it happen.

Even when the market fluctuates, you're typically always competing with others – one way or another.
So the short answer is: Yes... if you know how.
Even in a fast-paced market, there’s room to negotiate… the strategy just shifts.
Here’s where many buyers find leverage:
✔ Inspection repairs
✔ Closing costs
✔ Flexible closing timelines
✔ Contingencies based on appraisal or financing
And never underestimate your offer presentation. A clean, well-structured offer shows sellers you’re serious – and that can sometimes outweigh price.
