You're Already Behind

Here we are at the peak of the summer season here on Cape Cod. Some people are enjoying their last summer in their Cape house and thinking of selling sometime after Labor Day. But if they haven't started the process, they may find themselves selling a house with a Christmas tree in it. Most people underestimate how much time it takes to get the job done. Here’s a quick breakdown of the timeline:

Close by the holidays                                                                             November 15

On market 10 weeks                                                                              September 1

Prepare House 4 weeks                                                                        August 1

Valuation, paperwork, photos 1 week                                              July 21

Interview and select agent 1 week                                                    July 14
