Selling your home is exciting—but once you're under contract, the countdown to moving day begins.

Whether you're moving across town, relocating to another state, or downsizing into a smaller home, preparing early can make the entire process much less stressful.

As a Realtor® and Senior Home Coach™, one of the best pieces of advice I can give is this:

Don't wait until the last two weeks to start packing.

A little planning now can save you countless hours—and headaches—later.

When it comes to selling your home, one decision has a bigger impact than almost any other:

Choosing the right listing price.

Many homeowners believe they should price their home high to "leave room to negotiate." Others rely on online home value estimates or what a neighbor's home sold for months ago.

The reality is that pricing your home correctly from the start is one of the most important factors in achieving a successful sale.

So, what does a Realtor® actually do to sell your home?

Here's a look behind the scenes.
