Questions for Sellers
Answers
How do I determine the right price for my home?
I'll prepare a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and layer in market trends, neighborhood dynamics, and buyer demand. This ensures we price your home strategically to attract strong offers without leaving money on the table or scaring potential buyers away.
↑ Back to QuestionsWhat should I do to prepare my home for sale?
Think clean, bright, and neutral. I'll walk you through decluttering, minor repairs, and curb appeal. As part of my Marketing+ plan, I will also connect you with stagers, contractors, and cleaners from my referral network to maximize your home's presentation.
↑ Back to QuestionsHow long will it take to sell my home?
That depends on price, condition, and market activity. Many of my listings sell quickly using my Marketing+ plan because we prepare thoroughly, market aggressively, and price strategically. I'll keep you updated with real-time market data so expectations stay clear.
↑ Back to QuestionsWhat are the costs involved in selling a home?
Typical costs include commissions, title fees, and sometimes repairs or concessions. I'll provide a net sheet up front so you know what to expect, and I can connect you with financial or tax professionals if needed.
↑ Back to QuestionsShould I make repairs before listing?
It depends on the repair. Some fixes can dramatically improve your sale price or speed, while others aren't worth the investment. I'll advise you on which updates deliver ROI and connect you with reliable contractors for bids.

Buyers tour your home with their agent, usually in 15--60 minutes. I'll provide showing tips that highlight your home's strengths and minimize disruptions. My Marketing+ plan also ensures your home shines online before buyers even step inside.

I don't just present offers---I analyze every detail: price, contingencies, financing, and timelines. I'll help you weigh the full picture, and I'll negotiate firmly on your behalf to achieve the best overall outcome.
↑ Back to QuestionsWhat documents do I need to provide at closing?
You'll need your ID, wiring instructions, and home keys. I'll coordinate with the title company to make sure everything is complete, and I'll connect you with legal or financial advisors if special situations come up.
