Hi Josh every home and transaction is different so you may want to hire a local real estate professional to help assess the pros and cons of renting vs selling in your current market. There are lots of variable to consider and a great agent will be able to walk you through different scenarios so you can make the best decision for your property.

Brenton the listing price is ultimately your decision, your agent is probably just giving you the best advice from their experience as they are trying to represent your best interest. And ultimately the reason you probably hired them.

Taryn real estate is local so it depends on your neighborhood and market. I would consider hiring a professional agent in your local market to review recent sales in your neighborhood to help answer your question so you can make the best decision.

Brent you should be hearing from your agent anytime they have information to share including, feedback after every showing. A great agent will stay in touch with you by text daily or even multiple times a day to answer any questions or to send you updates!

Tim it depends on what state and market you live in. Currently in the Denver market fresh paint colors and carpet are usually a must unless recently updated. Upgrading kitchens, baths etc. are a bigger decision depending on the age of your home and your pricing expectations.

Abigail the best thing you can do is to talk directly to a top agent in your market. The agent will look at what your home is worth, what you are planning on buying and then connect with their lender to run the numbers and evaluate where you are currently so you can work on a plan.

Steph when deciding whether to keep your home as a rental or sell it comes down to balancing finances, effort, and flexibility. Compare the realistic rental income (after expenses like taxes, maintenance, vacancies, and possibly a property manager) against what you’d net from selling and investing that money elsewhere. Then factor in the challenges of being a long-distance landlord and whether you want that responsibility. Also consider tax implications like capital gains exclusions you might lose over time and evaluate your need for cash and flexibility during your move. Be honest with yourself about your risk tolerance and long-term goals—whether you actually want to be a real estate investor or just make a clean break.

Katherine I would consider hiring a top agent to sell your home as they will pay for professional pictures, aerial photos if needed and all of your advertising and marketing expenses.
