Frequently Asked Questions for Sellers

---

The first step in selling your home is to set up a consultation with us to discuss your goals, timeline, and any questions you may have. Next, we’ll schedule a time to tour your home and provide personalized recommendations on improvements or small updates that could help increase its value. Your home does not need to be "show ready" for us to help you prepare to sell! 

Home values vary based on market conditions, buyer demand, location, and recent sales in your area. The best way to determine your home’s value is to have us tour your home so we can assess its condition and unique features. After that, we’ll complete a complementary comprehensive market analysis (CMA) to provide a valuation range based on current market trends.

Start by decluttering and depersonalizing so buyers can easily picture themselves in the space. Small updates like deep cleaning, minor repairs, and boosting curb appeal can also make a big impact. When we tour your home, we’ll provide detailed recommendations to help showcase its best features and maximize value!

We use a comprehensive marketing strategy to get your home in front of the right buyers. As part of our services, we’ll arrange for professional photos to showcase your home at its best. We’ll list it on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a private database where real estate agents list homes for sale. For maximum exposure, we'll promote it within our professional networks, online platforms, and social media. Our goal is to attract qualified buyers quickly and get you the best possible offer!

The timeline for selling your home can vary, especially when it comes to prepping it for the market. Some sellers need just a few days to make minor updates, while others may take a few weeks to get their home ready. Once your home is listed, the time it takes to find a buyer depends on market conditions. After going under contract, the closing process typically takes about 45 days, during which inspections, appraisals, title work and final loan approvals take place.

Commissions are completely negotiable based on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) regulations, meaning the terms can vary depending on the agreement between the parties involved. It is required that real estate agents discuss and agree to commission structures upfront with every seller client prior to signing the listing agreement paperwork to ensure transparency and mutual understanding. We will explain this in detail during our initial consultation.
