Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect and how Liz Petroff can help you sell your home confidently and successfully in San Antonio.

🏡 Step 1: Know the Market

San Antonio’s housing market remains competitive in 2025, but pricing trends vary by neighborhood, school district, and home type. Understanding what similar homes in your area are selling for—and how quickly—is the first step to setting realistic expectations.

  • Clean landscaping and curb appeal
  • Minor hardware or fixture updates
  • Professional cleaning (especially kitchens and bathrooms)
