You’ll find that most professionals, such as REALTORS® like us Lea & Rubin , have a network of trusted people and companies they recommend.; A good REALTOR® can probably give you all kinds of real estate related referrals.; If you need a recommendation, please call today.954 802 8451

The Emotional Side of Selling Emotional Side of Selling

Let’s face it. Selling your home anywhere including Parkland Florida is as much an emotional decision as it is a practical one.

Sure, in some ways, a property is a “product”. You want to sell that product quickly and for the best price, so you can buy your next dream home. A home, however, is also a place filled with memories and emotional attachments. You’ll think of the rec room where the kids’ birthday parties were held; the dining room where you had countless family dinners; and the backyard deck where many afternoons were spent enjoying the sunshine. That’s why managing the emotional side of selling your home is so important. Here are some tips:

Have your kids draw pictures of the fun they’ll have in their new home.
Remind your kids that they’ll be able to stay in touch with their old friends, while making new ones.
Visit neighborhoods where you’d like to find your next home. Walk around. Get a sense of what it’s going to be like to live there.
Consider taking a keepsake with you from your old home to help ease the transition.
