Selling your home is no small task. It requires a ton of planning and obviously the right agent. Thinking about selling? Before you pick a price or plant a sign, get clear on these five questions. Honest answers now will save you money, stress, and days on market later.
List price grabs attention, but your net is what hits your bank account after prep costs, concessions, commissions, taxes, and payoff.
Do this: Ask for a written Net Sheet with best/mid/low scenarios so you can decide with real numbers.
Buyers shop by neighborhood, school zone, and price band. Condition and days of supply matter.
Do this: Review hyper-local comps and absorption rate (months of inventory) to choose a pricing lane that draws maximum, qualified traffic.
Not every project is worth it. Focus on what photographs well and removes buyer objections.
High-ROI basics: deep clean, paint touch-ups, landscaping refresh, lighting, minor repairs, and strategic staging.
Pro tip: Tackle the inspection “usual suspects” (GFCIs, caulk, filters, slow drains) to avoid renegotiations.
The first week sets your trajectory. You want concentrated attention, not a slow drip.
Look for: professional photos + video + 3D/floor plan, compelling listing copy, “coming soon” buzz, broker preview, first-weekend showings, targeted digital ads, and a feedback loop to adjust quickly.
Strong results are about more than price—timelines and risk matter.
Ask about strategies for: appraisal gaps, inspection credits vs. repairs, rent-backs, earnest money strength, financing type, and securing a backup offer to keep leverage after acceptance.
