Selling your home in Licking County?

Or the surrounding area?

Modern white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an island with a built-in stove, pendant lighting, and wooden flooring.

Most sellers ask the same two questions: what's it worth, and what do I need to fix? The honest answers are "let me look at it" and "less than you think."

Pricing โ€” the part people get wrong Overpricing costs you money, not pride. A home gets the most attention in its first two weeks. Priced above what buyers will pay, those weeks burn. Then you cut, and now days-on-market is attached and buyers assume something's wrong.

I'd rather tell you a number you don't love in week one than watch that happen.

Your yard checklist:

โœ… Keep the lawn trimmed, edged, and watered

โœ… Fertilize if needed

โœ… Trim all bushes and plants

โœ… Keep outside plants from blocking windows

โœ… Weed and clear planting areas

Common Questions

A bedroom with a white bed, side table and lamps, wooden floors, window and glass door, ceiling fan, and wall art.

What are my costs?

Commission, title fees, transfer taxes, prorated taxes, agreed repairs. Written net sheet before you list.

Should I sell before I buy?

Depends on equity, financing, risk tolerance. There are ways to bridge it.

Do I have to fix everything the inspector finds?

No. That's a negotiation and I'll handle it.

I'm thinking about next year.

Then let's talk now anyway. There are things worth doing twelve months out.

Let's grab coffee.

Or a Zoom, if that's easier. No pressure and no pitch โ€” just a conversation about what you're thinking and whether now's the right time.
