At the end of the day, the real value of this blog isn’t just the information—it’s the guide behind it. Becky Roenspie created this resource because she kept hearing the same questions:
Is now a bad time to sell in California?
What can I do if I disagree with the home appraisal?
Can I sell my half of a duplex?
Should I consider accepting contingent offers from buyers?
My home has been on the market for 117 days—what should I do?
Home appraised lower—now what?
Can my home not be photographed?
Can I raffle my house?
Should I walk around with the appraiser?
Are open houses a waste of time?
Can I use AI to sell my home?
Taxes on selling a second home—how do I avoid a huge bill?
Her answer wasn’t just to talk about these topics—it was to combine real‑world experience, local California knowledge, and modern AI tools into a clear, actionable roadmap for sellers.
