Selling and relocating out of state?
Timing the sale with a purchase elsewhere is its own puzzle. Melissa has done this with many clients. We'll plan it together.
See Relocation →Selling a parent's home or an inherited property?
There's a separate process for this and Melissa specializes in it.
See Empty Nesters and Estates →Need to sell fast?
Cash offers aren't always the best route, but sometimes they are. We'll talk through whether it fits.

What's my home actually worth?+
Start with the home valuation tool on this site for a quick read. Then have a real conversation with Melissa for a comparative market analysis based on actual recent sales in your neighborhood.
Should I make repairs before listing?+
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The answer depends on your home, your timeline, and your buyer pool. Melissa will walk through with you and give you a prioritized list, not a wish list.
How long will it take to sell?+
In a normal Montgomery County market, well-prepped and well-priced homes go under contract within 30 to 60 days. Pricing and presentation matter more than season.
What does it cost to sell a home?+
Plan for agent commissions, title fees, any negotiated repairs, and prep costs. Melissa will walk you through a real net sheet so you know exactly what you'll walk away with before you ever sign a listing agreement.
Do I have to be home for showings?+
No. Most sellers leave during showings. Melissa will coordinate timing around your life as much as possible.
What if I want to sell but I'm not sure where I'm going next?+
Very common. Start with the conversation. We'll talk through both sides at once.
