Home Seller Advice

We understand that selling your house is not just an important transaction, but an emotional one, as well.

We take very seriously the responsibility of serving as your Realtor, and will do so with absolute honesty and integrity.

That is the promise of every member of The Monica Betancourt Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty.


Home Seller Must-Dos

Stage
Prepare your house for Buyer appeal. Take advantage of Monica’s extensive successful experience with inside/outside staging to create the best presentation for the greatest number of Buyers.
