    Did you know that the holidays are actually a great time to sell your home? 

    We have several clients who are gearing up to list their homes over the next couple of months.

    And here are 7 reasons why YOU should consider listing your home during the holidays.

    1. Serious Buyers: People who are looking to buy a home during the holidays are serious about finding their new residence. There may be fewer of these folks out there in general, but the ones who are looking are ready and wanting to buy, and they're not messing around.

    2. Low Supply: Typically, there are fewer homes for buyers to look at around the holiday season, which means there's less competition for the attention of those buyers. When the holiday season ends and the new year begins, the supply of homes goes up. More inventory can mean more competition, longer days on market and potentially less money for your home.

    3. Sell High, Buy Low: If want to buy a home in the 2018 spring market, selling now (and potentially renting short term) gives you the chance to be a non-contingent buyer when you're ready to purchase in the spring. This is ideal. Since the spring time will bring more buyers into the marketplace for you to compete with, now you are set up as a "great buyer" who can compete with anyone, without a house sale contingency.

    4. Holiday Decor: The holidays tend to bring out the best in a home, when it's all decorated and dressed to the nines. Your home will show beautifully, decked out in wreaths, red bows, and white lights! Who doesn't love the winter scents of pine, cinnamon and the toasty feel of a fireplace? Plus, the holidays can provide that emotional connection to a home that will help a buyer feel more attached and pay your asking price.

    5. More Time: While your first instinct might be that people are too busy during the holidays to look at homes, think again. Many buyers may have less demanding schedules during the holiday season, or time off during Christmas as opposed to a normal work week. This is especially the case for relocation buyers... one of the best opportunities for a seller. They need to purchase and only have a short time to find their next home before the new year.

    6. Scheduling Control: Don't worry—if you're selling, you can still enjoy the holidays as usual! You can limit home showings to when you're comfortable. You stay in control!

    7. Move in the Spring: You can sell during this prime holiday time, but still not have to worry about moving until January through March, well after the holiday season is over. You can negotiate a longer closing period or an extended use and occupancy.

    I'm Susana Murphy, and I founded ALANTE with a clear vision and a passion for redefining what real estate should be. Let me share with you why ALANTE exists, what we stand for, and what we aim to offer both our valued clients and our dedicated agents. ALANTE Real Estate wasn't just a business venture for me—it was a calling born out of a deep-seated belief in doing things differently, and doing them better. Having been in the real estate industry since 2005 myself as a top producing Realtor, I saw firsthand the immense potential for innovation and improvement. I recognized that traditional practices were falling short in meeting the evolving needs of clients and agents alike. My vision for ALANTE was simple yet profound: to elevate the real estate experience by combining cutting-edge technology combined with story driven marketing and timeless values. In an industry often defined by transactions, I wanted to focus on service. I wanted to create a space where clients felt heard, valued, and supported every step of the way, and where agents could thrive in an environment that prioritizes collaboration, growth, support and integrity. At ALANTE, we believe in offering our clients more than just transactions—we offer them transformative experiences. We understand that buying or selling a home is not just a financial decision; it's an emotional journey filled with dreams, aspirations, and life-changing moments. That's why we approach each interaction with empathy, expertise, and a genuine desire to exceed expectations. For our agents, ALANTE is more than just a brokerage—it's a community of like-minded professionals committed to excellence. We provide our agents with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed, all while fostering a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. We believe that empowered agents create exceptional experiences for our clients, and that belief is at the core of everything we do. In an industry that's constantly evolving, we remain steadfast in our commitment to innovation and adaptability. We embrace technology not as a replacement for human connection, but as a catalyst for enhancing it. From advanced marketing strategies to streamlined processes, we leverage technology to enhance efficiency, transparency, and results. We don't just meet industry standards—we set new ones. We believe in raising the bar and redefining what it means to be a leader in real estate. Our dedication to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction sets us apart, and it's what drives us to continually push boundaries and exceed expectations. So, whether you're a client looking for a personalized, unparalleled real estate experience or an agent seeking a supportive, forward-thinking brokerage, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we're not just reimagining real estate—we're elevating it to new heights. Welcome to ALANTE Real Estate, where your vision meets our passion.
