My Take

One of the top questions I get from homeowners today is: “Should I put my home on the market if I don’t know where I am going to live yet?” My take, as it often is: “It depends”.

After a year where nearly all the articles written in every publication included the word unprecedented, many are ready for a more precedented year. In many respects, January has not delivered that, yet real estate on the Peninsula/Silicon Valley has been very consistent and those of us in the industry are as optimistic as ever about what the future holds.

Recently, one homeowner opted not to sell their home this year after we reviewed their specific goals and found a way convert the home to an income generator for them. That opened up the possibility of relocating out of the area to be closer to family. We were able to discover that opportunity by exploring their interests in detail. I’ve always believed the difference is in the details, and I am happy to go in a different direction if it is what is best for the client.

The reasons to sell a home are as varied as the personalities and dreams of the homeowners. I see it as my job to understand the needs and goals of my clients so that I can provide the right information at the right time to make the best decisions.

My passion is to be the difference maker for my clients. If you have asked yourself in the past month, “but where will I live?” then we should talk.
