Seller FAQs
1. When is the right time to list?
The right time to list is when you’re ready to sell.
Many people have heard that Spring is the best time because that’s when there are the most buyers. But that’s also when there’s the most competition; and right now, we’re in the middle of one of the strongest seller’s markets in recent history, so if you’ll be ready to move soon, now is the best time to put your home on the market.
2. How can we get the most money?
Ideally, your home will be in great shape when we put it on the market. That means all your improvement projects have been wrapped up and your maintenance is up-to-date. Buyers love a move-in ready house.
3. Do I need to do any projects/updates?
This varies based on your individual situation. We will discuss this specifically during our first meeting.
4. How quickly can we be under contract?
This depends on how we price your home. When a home is priced for the current market, it’s not unusual to go under contract during the first week after your home is listed.
5. How much are the closing costs?
With the exception of commissions, your closing costs are minimal. They can include tax prorations, deed recording fees, and closing fees which is usually around $1,500; however, this amount does vary based your home and situation. We will discuss this in more detail during our first meeting.
