Buying or selling a home has traditionally meant getting everything in order before reaching out to a real estate professional. Sellers would focus on decluttering, repairs, and staging, while buyers would browse listings and secure financing on their own. While this method works for some, it often leads to unnecessary stress and missed opportunities.
The real estate market has evolved, and so should your approach. The smartest move? Call a trusted realtor as soon as you decide to buy or sell. Here’s why involving an expert from the beginning, can make all the difference.
