The Challenge Many Fort Myers Homeowners Face

For many longtime Fort Myers homeowners, selling can feel overwhelming. Maybe your last sale was stressful. Maybe your home sat on the market too long, or you were left wondering what was happening with the sale.

This time should feel different. After years in your home, you deserve an experience that feels steady and respectful. Every decision should be made with your comfort, timing, and goals in mind.

Here’s what Brian and Susana believe: major life transitions deserve respect, not pressure. You deserve a real estate process that’s as personal as the life you’ve built.

Common Questions About Selling and Moving to Amavida

I’m already living at Amavida. How do I sell my house now?

Many homeowners move to Amavida first and sell afterward—it’s a completely normal approach. Brian and Susana help you prepare your home for sale even while you’re settled in your new community. They coordinate everything from a distance: arranging for staging or cleaning, managing repair contractors, handling showings, and keeping you updated without requiring you to go back and forth to the property. You stay focused on enjoying Amavida while they manage the sale process.

My Amavida move-in date is set. When should I list my house?

The timing depends on your comfort level and financial situation. Some homeowners prefer to list before moving so the sale is underway or complete by move-in day. Others want to settle into Amavida first and list a few weeks or months later. Both approaches work. Brian and Susana help you think through the pros and cons based on current market conditions, your home’s condition, and whether you’re comfortable managing showings while still living there.

Can I sell my house while it’s empty, or do I need to stage it?

Empty homes can sell well in Fort Myers, but staging often helps buyers visualize the space and can lead to faster sales and stronger offers. If your home is already empty, Brian and Susana can arrange professional staging for key rooms like the living room, primary bedroom, and kitchen. If staging isn’t in your budget, they’ll work with what’s there—good photography and pricing matter more than perfect staging. The goal is presenting your home in the best light without adding stress to your transition.

Will I need to go back to my house for showings or repairs?

Not necessarily. Brian and Susana coordinate showings, inspections, and any needed repairs while you’re at Amavida. They work with trusted local contractors, meet service providers at the property, and send you photos or videos so you can approve work remotely. If something requires your presence, they’ll let you know in advance and work around your schedule. Most sellers handle the entire process without needing to visit the property more than once or twice.

What if my house is still full of furniture and belongings?

That’s common. Many homeowners move their essentials to Amavida and deal with the rest of the house later. Brian and Susana can connect you with estate sale companies, donation services, or junk removal professionals who handle everything on-site. They can also coordinate moving companies to clear the home before listing. You don’t need an empty house to start the process—they help you create a realistic plan that doesn’t require you to do all the physical work yourself.
