Selling your Home

hey there!

I'm Yuri Almonte

I'm a girl who took her passion for teaching and turned it into a million dollar Real Estate empire. I love coffee latte's, lemon pepper chicken, and working from home with my dog on my lap. My mission? To educate you in the home buying and selling process to help you build long term wealth!

I am sure you've probably heard it's a seller's market, and this is very true. And I mean very true…just ask my last two clients who sold their homes for over list price!

Whether you're looking to tap into your home equity now or in the future, I got all the details you need.

Why? Because it's my job! Keep reading to find the secrets!


Find out what your home is worth, then shave 15 to 20 percent off the price. You’ll be stampeded by buyers with multiple bids — even in the worst markets — and they’ll bid up the price over what it’s worth. It takes real courage and most sellers just don’t want to risk it, but it’s the single best strategy to sell a home in today’s market.

Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets clean and tidy.


A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong broker. Make sure you have a broker who is totally informed. They must constantly monitor the multiple listing service (MLS), know what properties are going on the market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find a broker who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one has many tools to get your house sold.


You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops whereas a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking price if your kitchen looks dated.

The fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new cabinet hardware. Use neutral-color paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style.

👉🏼👉🏼If you have a little money to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why one? Because when people see one high-end appliance they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates the kitchen.



No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. You never have a second chance to make a first impression. It’s important to make people feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive shrubs and brightly colored flowers.

You can typically get a 100-percent return on the money you put into your home’s curb appeal. Entryways are also important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by putting in a small bench, a vase of fresh-cut flowers or even some cookies.

There you have it friend! The five best-kept secrets for selling your home. Today may not be the right time, but at least you are well-prepared in selling your home in the future with this information.

TLDR: Here are the five best-kept secrets:

  •     Selling Secret #5: Pricing it right
  •     Selling Secret #4: Half-empty closets
  •     Selling Secret #3: Play the agent field
  •     Selling Secret #2: The kitchen comes first

JIF creamy peanut butter

If you're team crunchy... we need to talk, ha-ha! I am #teamcreamy all the way. You will find my pup, Oakley and I enjoying a  teaspoon of peanut butter every night.

02

COCOA BUTTER LIP BALM

I literally buy this in bulk twice a year from Walgreens and have been doing so for the last 6 years. I've never looked back! You can say this is a true obsession, ha-ha! Awkward, but an obsession nonetheless. 

03

COOL TOUCH BED PILLOW

I have a confession to make... I get extremely hot when I sleep at night. So much so I had to invest in a cool touch pillow. This is in addition to lowering the AC to low 70s and cranking up the bedroom fan. You will find my hubby Andrew buried under the covers! *shrug emoji*
