Sellers: Four Questions to Ask Before Selling Your Home

Selling your home is a big financial and emotional task, which requires lots of planning. So before you decide to put your home on the market, here are four questions to consider.

What is my home worth?

There are a few key things that help determine your home’s market value — like its condition, size, location, amenities, and what similar homes nearby have recently sold for.

If you’re just looking for a quick snapshot, you can use an online home value estimator by simply entering your address.

You can also check your latest property tax bill for the assessed value of your home. That number is typically a percentage of your home’s true market value. If you know your state’s assessment rate (often around 80–90%), you can estimate your market value by dividing the assessed amount by that rate.

But here’s the thing — no algorithm or tax formula can capture the story, upgrades, and lifestyle your home offers.

If you’d like a clear, personalized picture of what your home is really worth in today’s Hawai‘i market, I’d love to take a look and give you my professional opinion.

Let’s connect — and find out what your island home could be worth right now.

How can I sell at the highest price possible?

Getting top dollar doesn’t always mean spending a fortune — sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. 🌺

Start by giving your home a fresh feel: clear the clutter, deep-clean those windows and walls, and brighten things up with lighter bulbs or airy window coverings. Small touches can make a big difference in how spacious and welcoming your home feels.

If you’re thinking about doing more, it’s best to talk with a trusted real estate professional before making any major upgrades. Not every improvement adds value in Hawai‘i’s market — and I’d hate for you to spend money on updates that won’t bring a return. I’m happy to walk through your home and share exactly which changes will make the biggest impact for your price range and neighborhood.

That said, when done right, smart improvements — like refreshing a kitchen or bath, or adding functional space — can absolutely help your home stand out and attract stronger offers.

And don’t underestimate the power of staging. Creating that “I can see myself living here” moment helps buyers fall in love with your home — and that emotional connection often translates to a higher sale price.

Let’s make sure your home shines — and sells for every bit it’s worth.

How long will my home be on the market?

How long your home stays on the market can depend on a few things — like where it’s located, how it's priced, and how strong the marketing is. In my experience, when a home is priced right, we usually see an offer come in within the first dozen showings.

Want to help your home sell faster? Staging makes a big difference. A well-staged home can catch a buyer’s eye right away — and studies show it can sell up to 32% faster than homes that aren’t staged. It’s all about making that first impression count!

How can an agent help?

Selling a home is a big deal — and having the right agent by your side can make all the difference. 🌺
