Washington County, WI – Should you call up a local real estate company? Should you look online for prices? Should you post your property for sale to test the market? Should you ask your family and friends what they think? ANSWER: NO, NO, NO, and NO.
Selling your property is your decision and there are many factors that are driving that decision. You need to have a conversation with yourself about this change. A pen and paper do wonders here. Here’s an exercise you can do right now if you’re thinking about selling. Ask yourself these questions and write your answers down.
– Why do I feel the urge to sell this property? (I.e – is it no longer used? Do I need something bigger or smaller? Do I want a fresh start somewhere else?)
– What do my finances look like? (I.e. – Do I need to sell to buy something else? Will there be tax implications? Does some go to “fun money,” retirement, or something else?)
– Is this a permanent or temporary feeling? (I.e. – Am I just sick of winter and once it gets through, I’ll be fine? Or I’ve always wanted to move to a different state)
– Who do I need to contact? (I.e. – accountant, attorney (especially for trusts/estates), real estate company, bank/lender, contractors, etc.)

Whether you know it now or not, you have a team that will help you sell. It’s just up to you to pick the best members of that team. Sometimes family and friends are good for that, but most times they’re not. You need members that don’t have the emotional attachment and can try and sway you one way or the other. What’s even better – most real estate professionals have a network you can lean on if there’s a void on your team.
These questions will help guide you to the decision to sell or not and also help you build your team that will execute the plan.
