Though the spring and summer markets do tend to see more activity, that doesn’t mean that you can’t find real estate success in the fall. Today I’ll share three reasons why you shouldn’t discount selling your home this autumn.

While many real estate agents are critical of the increasingly popular iBuyer trend, we’ve opted to embrace it. At the end of the day, we want what’s best for you and your experience.


People who sell to iBuyers do so for the convenience and the ability to control when the home will close—this is especially useful for those sellers who also have to buy another home right after. Though it may not always net the seller the most money, sometimes it’s simply ...
