Episode #16 - What You Need to know about Selling your House

"Most people move because of two things: they need more square footage (more space), or they're at a new income level." - Tony Long of Long Real Estate Team

Have questions about selling a house like...

  • How far out should you start preparing to sell your house?
  • To stage or not to stage?
  • When should we put it on the market?

In episode 16, we're discussing what you need to know about selling a house, with Rockstar Realtor, Tony Long of Long Real Estate Team.

Round 2 with Tony Long and Kyle to discuss what you need to know when you’re thinking about selling your house. Kyle lays it out into a 4 Part Process:

  1. The Pre-Sale: What you need to do to your house to get it ready to sell
  2. Deciding on Realtor or FSBO: Choosing wether you should get a realtor or try to sell it yourself (For Sale By Owner)
  3. On the Market: What do we do while the house is on the market, and selecting an offer
  4. Under Contract and Closing: Making sure the deal goes through

Tony shares the important things you need to do to get the house ready to go to market. He takes off his realtor hat and discusses the pros and cons of getting a realtor or trying to sell your house yourself. What about being a Sell-Buyer (Selling your house while trying to buy a house)? Tony talks about structuring the deal to eliminate the stress of having to quickly find a house to buy.

Before they got started, they were shooting the breeze about the glory days in Manhattan, KS (the Little Apple), cereal, and of course.... wrestling. Who would win the Manhattan High Wrestling dual between Team 1998 vs. Team 2002? Kyle gets the expert, the head coach of both teams, to weigh in!

You don't want to miss this!

To skip the fluff, go to the 47:53 mark. However, it's not advised!
