The housing market in Bay Area has its ups and downs. If you want to sell your home, it is a good idea to start looking for a real estate agent in Bay Area up to a year before listing.

Your agent may have some recommended repairs or upgrades to help you sell for a higher price. Getting work on your home can take time, which is why talking to an agent sooner than later is always a good idea.
