Are you thinking about selling your home in Bergen County—but feeling stuck on what to do next?
You’re not alone. As a licensed real estate agent with over 20 years in the business, I’ve helped dozens of homeowners across Bergenfield, Dumont, Englewood, Fair Lawn, Hackensack, Paramus, Westwood, and beyond sell with confidence—even when the situation felt overwhelming at first.
Whether you’re dealing with a property that’s outgrown your needs, facing financial stress, or just ready for a change, there’s never been a better time to explore your options.
But before you jump into repairs or sign with an agent, there are three critical questions every Bergen County homeowner should ask first.
1. 🧭 What Are Your Real Goals—And Your Timeline?
Not every seller wants (or needs) the same thing.
Some of my clients want top dollar and are willing to do minor updates and showings. Others need speed, convenience, and no open houses—especially if they’re downsizing, relocating, or managing a difficult situation like an estate or a property that’s seen better days.
That’s why I approach every client as a hybrid agent—I can either list your home traditionally for full market value or make you a fair cash offer to sell quickly without the hassle.
The first thing I ask:
What’s your real goal with this property—and how soon do you want it behind you?
2. 🏠 What’s Your Home Really Worth in Today’s Bergen County Market?
The Bergen County real estate market has changed dramatically since 2020—and many homeowners are surprised at how much equity they’ve built without even realizing it.
In fact, I recently did a valuation for a homeowner in Teaneck who bought her house in 2019. She was shocked to learn it had gone up almost $200,000 in value—with zero renovations.
The key? Understanding what similar homes are selling for in your neighborhood right now, not what you think it might be worth based on Zillow or five-year-old comps.
If you’re in a home in Fair Lawn, Paramus, Hackensack, Oradell, or surrounding towns, I can send you a free custom home value report—no strings attached. Just email me or fill out the form on my homepage.
3. 💡 What Are Your Options for After the Sale?
Many of the sellers I work with are trying to figure out:
“Where will I go next?”
Some want to downsize into a condo, rent for a while, or move closer to family in a different state. Others need help finding the next place before they can even think about selling.
This is where my dual approach makes things easier. If you’re not ready for a traditional sale, I can offer:
- Flexible timelines (you pick your move-out date)
- Help finding a new place (buy or rent)
- No-obligation cash offers
- Local vendor referrals if you need help prepping the house
Whether you’re just browsing condos or already know you want out, I’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your timeline—not someone else’s.

🛠️ Real Example: A “Fixer” in Hillsdale
Not long ago, I reached out to a local homeowner in Hillsdale who had lived in the same home for decades. The property was overgrown, and it was clear they were overwhelmed.
Rather than pitching a fast sale, I offered a simple conversation—and gave them both listing and cash offer options. We talked about timelines, what homes were worth nearby, and how to make the next step feel manageable.
Sometimes the solution is a quick sale. Other times, it’s about creating a roadmap that makes sense for the homeowner—not the market.
