90 Days from Now, Everything Could Be Different: Are You Ready to Begin?

It's not just a move. It's a life-shift!

Because real estate moves depend on a financial assessment, a risk review, a physical condition check, family and extended family check-in, career goals and a look at missed opportunities as well in order to execute with confidence and for the intended outcome!

The Next 90 Days: Why Now Is the Time to Prepare for Your Next Big Real Estate Move

As we step into the second half of 2025, many people are asking a quiet but powerful question:

“Is it time to make a move?”

Whether that move is buying a home, preparing to sell, or exploring real estate investing, what happens between now and October will shape how ready—and successful—you are when the moment comes.

At Susan Sells, we don’t think in terms of “someday.” We help our clients plan in 90-day windows, 12 weeks at a time so they can be proactive, not pressured, realistic, not resistant, and tracking forward with a sense of accomplishment. As small as these small incremental changes might be, there is a compound effect so that suddenly you gain clarity and better alignment with you goal.  

If you want winner-level success, the work happens before the rush. (read more)

I’ve been reflecting on what would make this year feel like a win for me…and I love working with people in the ‘planning’ space.

Planning is from idea or dream to actualization and everything in between. More like this –--- explore, refine, align, plan and execute.

Because I’ve seen how powerful it is when someone has a plan AND a person in their corner, my ideal job is to earn the right to ask a lot of questions, kind of like a coach would, to open your thinking, to uncover possibilities and options with your ‘impossible’ dream in mind.

I imagine success as being able to turn ‘impossible’ to ‘possible’.

A ‘win’ for me this year would be hearing more homeowners say, ‘I’m so glad I did that now instead of waiting.’ Whether it’s downsizing, moving up, or simply making your current home more livable, I love helping people make decisions they’ll feel proud of later.  That’s what I’m chasing. That’s my win. Most people don’t need to be sold on a move—they need to be shown it’s possible, with a plan. It’s about fewer ‘somedays’ and more ‘I’m glad I started.’

For me, the second half of 2025 isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about helping more people find clarity, calm, and the confidence to take their next step—whatever that looks like.

And yes, it’s about making space in my own life too—less busy, more meaning.  

🧭 What would make the rest of this year feel like a win in your world?

Why the July–September Window Matters

Here’s why this stretch of the year is golden for smart real estate planning:

• 🛠️ Prep without pressure: You can update, declutter, and stage at your own pace.
  
  

• 📈 Market insight: Summer data sets the tone for fall pricing and timing strategies.
  
  

• 🧮 Financial alignment: Time to assess your equity, lending power, or investment goals.
  
  

• 🚀 Move into action mode: So you’re not reacting when opportunity knocks.
  
  

🏠 If You’re Thinking of Selling…

Now is the time to:

• Evaluate your home’s current market value
  
  

• Map out a prep plan (not just painting walls—real strategy)
  
  

• Decide on your target sale timeline (late fall, early 2026, or spring?)
  
  

🎯 Pro Tip: Many of our clients who sell with confidence start preparing 6–9 months in advance.

🏡 If You’re Considering Buying…or you had been and have let that goal slip

Use this window to:

• Clarify your “why” and the 'because' that tells you what the impact will be on you and those that matter (ideal timeline)
  
  

• Align finances, loan options, where to look for creative ways to make it work and how to assess lifestyle goals
  
  

• Begin watching neighborhoods (or types of homes) with purpose
  
  

🎯 Pro Tip: Fall buyers often face less competition but more complexity—being prepared gives you the edge.

💼 If You’re Exploring Investing…and would love to see how a little money can go a long way

Ask:

• Where can my equity or cash flow do more for me?
  
  

• What does “passive income” really mean for my lifestyle?
  
  

• Can I use the next 90 days to learn, plan, and position myself?
  
  

🎯 Pro Tip: We help homeowners transition to investors with as little friction—and as much clarity—as possible.

💬 What’s Your Move?

You don’t have to have all the answers right now. But you do deserve a partner who knows the right questions to ask—and a strategy that aligns with your vision, timeline, and life.

If you’re even thinking about a move (in any direction), this is the moment to start planning.

This short quiz is here to help you get clarity—not to push you into a decision.
