It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

Over the years, I have spoken to countless buyers and sellers who have found the moving process far more stressful and time-consuming than it should be. While purchasing a home will always involve important decisions and legal processes, I believe there is significant room for improvement in how transactions are managed.

More homes are competing for buyer attention, so sellers need more than a hopeful asking price. A smart launch, realistic valuation and strong presentation can help attract serious interest.
