When Is The Right Time to Talk to a REALTORĀ®?

Sandy Ginn January 12, 2021

Have you caught yourself thinking about buying or selling your home?

It’s never too early to reach out to a real estate professional.

Even if you aren’t planning to actually make a move for another two years. Sellers should call earlier than buyers. This ensures we can minimize disruptions and maximize your investment.

Here are three common situations when it’s time to reach out.

  1. When you’re pondering the idea of change. Maybe you’re thinking about relocating or you have a change in your family status. Maybe you’re coming into a different season of life. Maybe you’re trying to decide if you should renovate or move. Maybe you’re looking for a perfect vacation property on the lake. Maybe you need to be closer to easy interstate access for your commute. Maybe you want your kids to go to a different school district. Whatever the reason, it’s time to reach out.
  2. The second the thought crosses your mind. I love working with my clients on planning. Here’s the thing: I understand the market and I can often help you see options you didn’t even know you had. My experience in helping you find the right house at the right time for the right place is my superpower. My deep understanding of the Greater Indianapolis Real Estate Market works to your benefit. It’s NEVER too early to get your goals on my radar.
  3. Before you invest thousands in a renovation. Do you know how many times I’ve had clients spend thousands of dollars on renovations they THINK they need to do BEFORE they bring in a REALTOR®? You need an expert to help you decide if you actually need to make a change or if there’s an easier way to bring your property to market. I help my clients decide all the time whether they should invest in their current home to make it more appealing. Obviously there are some things (like a roof or HVAC) that we can’t compromise on but, statistically, did you know that some of the greatest returns on investment come from projects that require minimal investment? It’s true. And I can help you decide.
Seriously, if you’ve even one for moment considered making a change, let’s have a chat. I can save you money AND time. It’s free and there’s no obligation. Let me show you how to turn your dreams to plans!
