When it comes to selling your home, proper marketing is the final, critical step to ensure success and achieve the best price. However, let’s be clear — marketing is not just postcards and social media posts. It’s about translating the true value of your home and making sure the right buyers see it in the right way.

Owner of Sheridan Kahmann Photography, SKP, she has been capturing memories since 2011 and opened her studio in 2022. Originally from New York, Sheridan moved to Arlington in the early 1990s and stayed for the long haul, “I feel comfortable in Arlington. I’ve made so many friends, I’m very fortunate in that regard. It’s so close to everything and people are so kind,” she said.

Spring is here! As the ice on Mystic Lake continues to thaw, the spring market continues to heat up fast! We already have many homes on the market and more are entering in the coming weeks.

So far, we've discussed a few critical steps in selling your home:

1. The Importance of Hiring the Right Real Estate Agent,

2. The Strategy of Pricing Your Home Properly, &

3. The Timing of Placing Your Home For Sale, Preparing Your Home For Sale.

All of these steps are designed to lead to one main goal: receiving not just one offer, but multiple offers on your home.

When you decide it's time to sell your home, one of the most common questions I hear from my clients is: "When is the right time to sell my home?" And I get it - timing can feel like everything. While there are some seasonal trends to consider, let me be honest with you: the right time to sell is not as tied to seasons as it used to be. Sure, we can agree that selling between Christmas and New Year's probably isn't ideal, but beyond that, there are many factors to think about when deciding on the timing.
