As I talk with my clients about the state of the real estate market, I hear the same dilemma: "Should I sell or lease?"

Together we arrive at your answer by objectively basing your choices on the facts:

• Cash flow
• Expenses
• Current rental value
• Market conditions
• If you’ve lived in it for a number of years, have you considered that by leasing, even with a negative cash flow, you can still do better when you consider tax consequenses? (I can help you consider questions to ask your tax advisor.)

Together we can flesh out potential possibilities you may not have considered, or other options that are better mapped out on paper than left as vague ideas. This is how a good real estate consultant can be helpful. Practicing collaboration by gathering multiple decision-making factors empowers you to make more informed decisions.

While there’s no replacement for intelligent intuition (have you read Blink?), and no one is a better judge of what you need than yourself, it helps to work with a professional who can help you execute your goals by asking the right questions to ensure that you haven’t overlooked any important considerations.
