Seller FAQ
Seller FAQ: Your Questions Answered
Selling a home can raise many questions. We’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions from home sellers to help guide you through the process. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to Rose for expert advice!
Getting Started
- Do I need a real estate agent to sell my home?
While it’s possible to sell your home on your own, working with a real estate agent can save you time, reduce stress, and help you secure the best price. Agents handle pricing, marketing, negotiations, and the closing process, ensuring a smoother experience. - How do I know what my home is worth?
Your home’s value depends on the current market, location, condition, and recent sales of comparable properties. We offer a Free Home Evaluation to help you determine your home’s value accurately.
Pricing & Preparing Your Home
- How do I decide on the right listing price?
We conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to analyze market trends, recent sales, and your home’s unique features. Together, we’ll determine a price that attracts buyers while meeting your financial goals. - Should I make repairs or renovations before selling?
Some improvements can increase your home’s value, while others may not provide a strong return on investment. We’ll advise you on which repairs or updates are worth your time and money. - How important is staging my home?
Staging helps buyers visualize themselves in the space, leading to quicker sales and higher offers. We provide staging tips and recommendations to showcase your home at its best.
Marketing & Showings
- How will my home be marketed?
We use a combination of traditional and digital marketing methods, including:
- MLS® Listings
- Professional photography and virtual tours
- Open houses and private showings
- Social media and real estate websites
- Do I need to be present during showings?
No, it’s better for buyers to view the property without the homeowner present. We’ll manage all showings and provide feedback afterward.
Negotiations & Closing
- Can you help me buy my next home?
Absolutely! Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or relocating, we’ll assist you with buying your next property while ensuring a smooth transition from your current home.
Next Steps
- What happens when I receive an offer?
We’ll review the offer with you, discuss any contingencies, and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best deal. - What costs should I expect when selling my home?
Typical costs include:
- Real estate agent commissions
- Legal fees
- Closing costs
- Potential repairs or staging expenses
We’ll provide a breakdown of these costs upfront so you can plan accordingly.
- How long does the selling process take?
The timeline depends on factors like market conditions, your home’s location, and its listing price. On average, homes take a few weeks to several months to sell. We’ll work with you to create a realistic timeline.
