Sellers

Sellers have unique needs. They take a place that has been their home for sometimes decades, a place full of memories and history, and open it up for other people to critique. This can be a scary step as sellers have to put their life on hold while they keep a spotless house, running out of the house for showings, and waiting with baited breath for feedback that may or may not come. This part of thehousekat.com website will be focused on tips and issues associated with the selling of a home.

Feel free to scan through the pages that follow to find the specific information you are looking for. Or you can click these links for specific topics:
