Real estate and the holidays; I get this comment all the time as the holiday season approaches. "I hear the holiday season is a bad time to put your house on the market." My response, absolutely not true. There is a list of reasons this is an advantageous time for home sellers—waiting for the new year? I recommend setting aside some time to strategize for the perfect time to list your home in 2022. It's all about strategy and planning. Let's chat.

Have a safe and fun Thanksgiving holiday.

  Respectfully,

 Robbyn Battles
