WHAT ARE THREE NON NEGOTIABLE KEYS TO SELLING YOUR HOME IN 2026, BUT WITHIN 90 DAYS?
We are all entering into more stabilization in the 2026 market. There are many predictions, including the one I recently posted here. Many are estimating a rise just above inflationary values, so if i you not only want to sell your home in the upcoming year, but to do it within 90 days, there are THREE very critical pieces to that puzzle.

FIRST
PRICE IT FOR TODAY – NOT yesterday’s values. Those have come and gone. In Florida right now, 6 out of the top 10 DECLINING markets are right here in Florida. The areas closest to me here in the Sarasota, FL area market are: Northport, Cape Coral and Tampa Bay. Get AHEAD of your competition. For some that may very well require “ripping off the (rhetorical) band-aid before your competing neighbors so that you are the one who moves the needle first. While it may be painful……. if I had a crystal ball and said that if 6-12 months down the road you would look back and say that it was the best decision you made, then I’ve done my job. Nobody can say where things are going, especially when there are always outliers happening around the world, but we use our best educated market experience, and years of it, to guide you. As a listing agent here in SW Florida since 2002, it has and will always be my goal to obtain the very highest net to you as my seller, as possible. Pricing it correctly in a 6 month level of inventory market will ensure a much faster than average selling time. If your goal is to sell within a quick 90 day period, your pricing also has to be aggressive. And remember it could CHANGE as the days pass. Talk to your agent, keep those communication lines open!
SECOND
PRESENTATION MATTERS. It is not optional. I offer an over 30 page CV presentation to my sellers showcasing how I am able to position my listings in the best light possible. First impressions matter. Like shaking someone’s hand you’ve first met, the way your home looks and feels will matter a great deal. Your first photo, the order of the photos, aerials, community amenities, virtual tours, matterports, floorplans, videos, blogs, the way your agent has worded the description of the home and property, virtual staging, regular furniture and furnishings staging… the controlables matter. When buyers have an abundance of like kind properties to choose from, yours MUST stand out. Once the seller puts in that effort with the guidance of their Realtor, your agent needs to take the reigns and leverage your home to the best of their ability through the presentation of your property. Hire a professional to do so on your behalf and you will not be disappointed, I can assure you.
LASTLY
MARKETING REACH MATTERS now more than ever. I was recently interviewed on the Epic Agent Podcast where we discussed some of the unique marketing tools I’ve used to discern myself as a agent who “steps outside of the box” when it comes to putting YOUR home in front of (not only many buyers but of) the RIGHT BUYER for your property. Shayla understands what it takes to know your market intimately and understand where your specific buyer will be coming from. NOT all markets can be treated equally. For example, many of the island properties garner buyers from the same island even. When we say “marketing reach” it very well could mean reaching the buyer who actually lives next door. But we also understand that most sellers want to know that they’ve hired an agent who has both national and international reach. With the Corcoran (being acquired by Compass) brand, rest assured, your property will exposed to the most intrigued international markets and local “feeder” markets too

Q: What’s the most important factor if I want to sell within 90 days?
