52 Little-Known Secrets About Selling a Home

An 8-Part Series by a Former Real Estate Broker Who’s Helped Sellers Since 1991

Selling a home is one of life’s biggest financial decisions and whether you’re working with a realtor or tackling it on your own, the process can feel overwhelming. I know, because I’ve lived it from every angle.

For 26 years, I worked in real estate licensed in Maryland from 1991 to 2017 helping hundreds of homeowners prepare, price, and sell their properties. I eventually owned and managed my own brokerage, and I’ve always loved guiding sellers step-by-step through one of the most important chapters of their financial journey.

Over the years, I discovered that success in selling a home often comes down to the little things , the details many people overlook but that make a world of difference in how quickly and smoothly a sale happens.

That’s why I created this 8-part blog series: “52 Little-Known Secrets About Selling a Home.”Each post shares practical, easy-to-follow advice, the same tips that helped my clients sell faster, negotiate smarter, and close with confidence.

Whether you’re preparing to list your home, pricing it strategically, or navigating the final steps before closing, you’ll find helpful, real-world insights from someone who’s been there and who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

Stay tuned as we uncover these insider secrets, one post at a time.If you’re planning to sell soon (or even just thinking about it), I encourage you to bookmark this series or save it on Pinterest, it’ll be your personal guide to selling smart.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be publishing all eight posts in this series. Each one focuses on a specific stage of selling from preparing your home and setting the right price to marketing, negotiating, and finally celebrating a successful closing. My goal is to take the mystery out of the process and replace it with confidence, strategy, and peace of mind.
