Inheriting a home often comes with mixed emotions. On one hand, it’s a meaningful gift, maybe even a place filled with memories. On the other hand, it can bring unexpected responsibilities, especially when you’re the one in charge of what happens next. So, what do you do with your newly inherited house? Do you sell it? Do you keep it?

Making a strong home offer isn’t just about offering more money. It’s about making smart moves, knowing what sellers are looking for, and putting together a package with your real estate agent that says, “I’m ready to buy right now, and I’ve done my homework!”

Selling a home starts from the moment you start looking at other real estate. Being sure your home is market-ready, attracting potential buyers, and determining the market value are essential. But there is so much more that goes into preparing your home for sale than all of that. And it starts sooner than you think.

Should you hire a Realtor or search for the best real estate agents near you to find the right one for you? Which one is right? What do they do? Why does it even matter?

With so much real estate info online, it’s no surprise that more buyers are wondering, “Do I really need a buyer’s agent in 2025?” It’s a fair question, one I often hear as a Grove City real estate agent. Between online listing platforms, DIY search tools, and national headlines about shifting market rules, many first-time and repeat buyers are rethinking what it means to work with a real estate agent. The right buyer’s agent does a lot more than unlock doors and send listi

Buying a home is supposed to be exciting. But after your tenth showing, another rejected offer, and too many listings that looked better online than in person, it can feel more exhausting than energizing. After all, you have already done all the hard work. You figured out the monthly payments you could afford, hired the perfect real estate agent, locked your down payment in savings, nailed your credit score, and researched your closing costs. So, why can't you just get

One of the biggest questions I get from sellers, especially right now, is this: “How do I price my home to sell fast, without leaving money on the table?” And honestly, it’s a smart question to ask. Because no matter what the market’s doing, pricing is your most powerful tool. Price your home too high, and it sits. Too low, and prospective buyers might wonder what’s wrong with it. Or worse yet, you miss out on what it’s really worth. The good news? There is a sweet spot.

"What do today's buyers really want in their dream home?" That’s a question my sellers ask me all the time. And the thing is that knowing the must-haves in a new home buyers are looking for now isn't rocket science.

Whether you’re counting down the days or still figuring out your schedule, this ultimate moving checklist will help keep things simple, clear, and totally manageable, so you can start this new chapter on the right foot.

In this post, I’m sharing three signs I see over and over again when buyers in Grove City realize they’ve found the one. These are more than just emotional hunches. They have to be. These three signs, I have found as a Grove City realtor, lead to happy homeowners and confident decisions.

So, you’ve accepted an offer on your home. Congrats! That’s a huge step. You may even feel like the finish line to selling your home is close. However, before the deal is finalized, there is one more significant hurdle to overcome: the home appraisal process. For many sellers, a home appraisal can feel like a formality, a brief stop on the way to closing, or even just a normal part of the loan process. But in reality, it can make or break the entire deal.

It’s tempting to pull up your home on Zillow, see the Zestimate, and start dreaming… or stressing, depending on what you’re looking for. In just a few clicks, you have a number, yes. But how much trust should you actually put in it when it comes to a true home value estimate? The truth is, Zestimates are built by algorithms, not experts. They offer a rough snapshot based on public data, but they miss the real story happening inside your home, your neighborhood, and your
