Hi test, I'm writing from Giovanni Marino's office at Keystone Realty here in Fort Myers. You said you're ready for the next chapter but timing the sale with your next move is the worry, and that one is fair. What's the move you're picturing, bigger place or smaller?

Upsizing makes the timing question real, since you'd be lining up a buy and a sell at once. Giovanni does this a lot, and the first step is just knowing what your place would bring so the next budget is honest. Is the bigger place around Fort Myers too, or somewhere else?

That's fine, plenty of people start there. Here's the useful part: for a home that's solid but dated, the fixes worth doing are usually paint, lighting and anything that photographs badly, and that's it. Giovanni can also pull what similar homes near you actually sold for, so your $500k guess has real numbers behind it. Want me to have him put that list together for your place?

Will do. He'd want to walk the place quickly so the list is about your rooms, not a generic one. Would Saturday morning at 10 or Tuesday at 6 be easier for you?

Monday's not open on his calendar, sorry. Closest to that is Tuesday at 6pm, or Saturday at 1:30 if the afternoon is better than the morning. Which one works?
