For sellers

Five questions before you list your house.

A cedar-sided two-story house with a wraparound deck and a curved driveway, on a wooded lot.

Most people start by asking what it's worth. I'd rather start here, because the right number depends on nearly every one of these.

There are no wrong answers and nothing is being scored. Pick whatever is closest to true, and I'll tell you what it means for your sale.

What you said

Here is what you just told yourself.

None of this was sent anywhere. It is yours. Screenshot it, talk it over with whoever else is selling this house, or bring it to a conversation so we start from here instead of from scratch.

Want to talk it through?

No pressure and no obligation. If you are months away from listing, that is honestly the best time to call, because there is still room to do the things that change the number.
