  1. Sell first, then buy? How Rochester sellers time both moves

    The hard part of selling and buying in the same season is the gap between keys. Here's how to plan it.

  2. Kasson or Rochester? What buyers trade when they leave city limits

    You're usually trading some drive time for more house or more yard. Here's how I'd weigh it.

  3. What buyers miss on the first Rochester showing

    Paint and cabinets get the attention. The furnace, the grading, and the real cost of a fix matter more.

  4. Listing through a Rochester winter without looking like you're stuck

    Price, photos, and a clear path to the front door. What to do if you list before the thaw.

  5. How long does a build actually take around Rochester?

    Lot, plan, bids, weather, and the parts of a schedule a rendering leaves out.

  6. First-time buyer questions I get in Olmsted and Dodge County

    Payment, towns, inspections, and what a fixer really costs. Plain answers for a first house.
