Despite headlines all over the world about interest rates bouncing up and down around 7% and buyer affordability at an all time high, homes in our area are still selling quickly, with multiple offers and sometimes above list.

I publish my list of “buyer needs” on my social media monthly, but this time, I’d like to extend an offer to the community.

If you have been thinking of selling but perhaps you’re overwhelmed with the idea of prepping, or you don’t want to deal with the masses trekking through your home, or you just want an easy private sale, I’m throwing out my list of buyer needs in case you want to explore selling privately:
