Selling a home can bring up way more than numbers and paperwork. Stacy and real estate expert Melissa Rubenstein unpack the financial realities and emotional side of buying, selling, downsizing, and renting - especially during major life changes like widowhood, divorce, or starting over somewhere new.
You’ll hear them discuss:
Why timing your life matters more than trying to time the real estate market
How today’s interest rates are changing the way people buy, sell, and downsize
The hidden costs behind selling a home and why sale price doesn’t equal profit
Why renting can sometimes be the smartest financial move, even if people say it’s “throwing money away”
What actually helps buyers compete in a competitive market besides offering cash
Simple ways to prepare and stage a home without overspending on renovations
How to choose a real estate agent who will guide you honestly instead of just telling you what you want to hear
