Whether it’s your goal to relocate for work, to a different school district, downsizing or upsizing, looking for your dream home, prefer more dreamy features, or want to build something custom – you must create a strategic and comprehensive plan to sell your house.
Benjamin Franklin said, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” Right after he said, “Listen to The Frey Team, they know how to sell my house for the highest net returns possible…..” Just kidding about that last quote – he meant to say we help people like you build wealth with real estate!
Most homeowners who want to list their homes on the market make a few mistakes – which are covered in our free guide “How to Sell your Home.” Most commonly they hire the first person they talk to – it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion with this large of an investment. Now, if you’ve already got the expert on speed dial then props to you for being prepared! Ben would be proud!
You might say, “I know how to sell my house because I’ve done it before.” Throwing a plan together to sell your house, even if you’ve sold a home before, can be very demanding and risky if you’re not equipped to sell your house with confidence. The market changes so your game plan must stay in line with the supply and demand in the trending market. Is it a seller’s market? If it takes less than a few months to sell the average house then yes, it’s a seller’s market.
“What if it’s a buyer’s market, how will I sell my house?” Well, if it takes months to sell (specifically 6+ months) than it technically may be a buyer’s market. What does this really mean – especially if you are both selling and buying a home?
It means there may be different answers and strategies depending on the time of year you want to sell your house on the market. It could also mean that high demand markets are a result of low inventory – mirror image of our current 2023 real estate market.
When there is low inventory (less homes on the market than the year prior) typically this means more people are thinking “I need to find a home” than there are people thinking “I’ve got to sell my house.” This is golden news for a seller – especially if you are following the guidelines specified in our Free How to Sell your Home guide.
The real gold however lies in the preparation of the home as the guide states. Is it clean and appear well taken care of to potential buyers? Are all the buttons and switches working properly? Do any of the rooms need a fresh coat of paint? Have we considered attracting interior design and staging elements? And there is much more to consider. Just because it is a seller’s market, doesn’t mean that you will sell easily. It simply means you will most likely sell – but at what price will be determined by the plan and execution of you and your team.

Depending on your home-buying goals, you may choose to purchase a home before, during, or after selling your house. There are several ways to accomplish everything you want when step #1 of preparing a game plan is done in advance.
The simplified way to explain how this works is to:
1 – You say, “Help me plan to sell my house” and put together a custom game plan with your hired professionals aligning with your goals
2 – Determine your purchase and financial options within your budget
3 – If selling your home before you buy: setup temporary housing plans so that you may move and use storage until you buy
3 – If selling your house while you’re buying: plan to showcase the home on the market before you start home shopping. So when the sign goes in the yard, start looking for your next home!
3 – If selling your house after you buy, simply move to the new house and showcase the listing as part of the plan covered in our free guide – How to Sell your Home in 2023.
