FAQs

Your home’s value is based on recent comparable sales (not just active listings), current buyer demand, condition, upgrades, location, and neighborhood-specific trends. I provide a pricing analysis using sold data, competition, and market momentum so you can choose a price that attracts strong buyers without leaving money on the table.

The right price is a strategy — not a guess. We evaluate:

• comparable sold homes

• current competition (what buyers will compare you to)

• price reductions and days on market

• seasonality and buyer traffic

• condition, upgrades, and features
  From there, we set a pricing plan designed to create leverage and produce strong offers.

Not every upgrade pays off. The goal is to focus on improvements that increase buyer confidence and reduce objections. In most cases, the best ROI comes from:

• fresh paint and minor touch-ups

• deep cleaning + decluttering

• lighting, hardware, and curb appeal

• correcting obvious functional issues
  I’ll provide a targeted prep plan so you invest only where it matters.

Staging isn’t mandatory, but it can help a home sell faster and for more — especially when competing with newer listings. If staging isn’t the right fit, we can achieve a similar effect through strategic furniture placement, presentation improvements, and high-quality photography.

Time on market depends on price, location, condition, and competition. Some homes sell quickly when positioned correctly, while others require a strategic adjustment. Before listing, I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your neighborhood and current absorption rate so expectations are clear from day one.

Seller closing costs vary, but typically include:

• real estate commissions

• title-related costs (depending on the contract/custom in the county)

• doc stamps on the deed

• prorated taxes and HOA fees (if applicable)

• any negotiated repairs or credits
  I’ll provide a clear estimated net sheet before we go live so you understand your numbers upfront.

A pre-listing inspection can be helpful if:

• the home is older

• you suspect issues that may disrupt negotiations

• you want maximum control and fewer surprises
  In many cases, we can also identify and correct issues through a walkthrough + targeted vendor evaluation without a full inspection.
