Question: How do I get a house ready to sell when I live out of town?
Answer: Funny you should ask… I have had the opportunity to help five sellers in the past year in this very same situation. One couple had been renting their home for over 10 years — they live in Canada. The second rented his townhouse for about 15 years — he lives 1.5 hours away. I am working on three more now. One is an estate with the executor living in South Carolina. Another is a large single-family home, and the owners have already moved to their farm in Tennessee. And one will close this week with the sellers signing remotely from California.
Walking into a clean home is one of the best feelings. No toys to step over, no pet hair tumbleweeds to dodge, no countertops begging to be wiped down.
But these days, many of us are running low on time and energy. That’s why it’s worth calling in reinforcements.

Question: Should I rent or buy?
Answer: When considering a move, sometimes there’s a dilemma. Is this the right time to buy, or should I rent again? In some areas of the country, it’s a clear choice. If mortgage payments will be consistently lower than rent, or at least close, there is an obvious opportunity to see appreciation in your investment and come out ahead in a few years. In our area, it can be a little tricker.

Question: Why do local traditions matter when selling a home?
Answer: In February, I told you about the somewhat painful and sometimes silly family organization of my parents’ home to prep it for sale. (Click here for a refresher.) What I didn’t tell you was about the toddler-sized nutcrackers in my mother’s collection, which scared everyone who stayed in the guest room, or the drama caused when a large, live opossum landed on the chest of the HVAC technician installing new systems in the crawl space.
