The success of your sale starts with setting the right list price from the start. Factors like location, price of homes recently sold nearby (called comps), and the condition of your home (including improvements and updates) all play a role in determining your listing price. Buyers will narrow their search based on price parameters, and we use comparative market data to price your home correctly from the start. 

To list your home for top dollar, it’s important to keep big ticket items up to date–think mechanicals, roofs, and regular maintenance. When you work with us, we’ll help you pinpoint small improvements that will bump up the value of your home. It’s one of our favorite parts of the selling process! Even some simple staging suggestions can make a big impact.

Once we sign a listing agreement, we’ll schedule professional pictures and measurements. Typically, it takes about a week from our first meeting to when we can have the home listed on the local MLS. Keep in mind, we also work with clients who tell us their selling timeline a year in advance. It's never too early (or too late) to give us a call to start the process. 

A full-service real estate experience means that we take care of everything from staging to selling. This includes recommending small interior and exterior updates, coordinating professional photography and staging, listing on the local MLS, marketing to potential buyers, hosting open houses, and negotiating the sale on your behalf.

Absolutely! As a licensed real estate agent in North Carolina and a member of Multiple Listing Service, your home will be listed on your local MLS, as well as over 100 syndicated sites such as Zillow and Realtor.com. We know that professional pictures, accurate measurements and a strategic listing profile are key to selling your home quickly and for top dollar. 

An “off-market” sale can mean selling a home with a realtor either before it hits the MLS or selling FSBO (for sale by owner). As your realtor, we do much more than just list your home on the MLS. We guide you on list price, sales strategy, marketing tactics and contract negotiations, creating a streamlined and painless process. If you choose to sell your home as a FSBO, you’ll be responsible for marketing your home, negotiating with a buyer or their agent, and navigating the real estate contract process alone. 

Commissions for real estate agents are unregulated and always negotiable. In the in the Raleigh market, sellers typically offer a 2.4% commission to the buying agent’s firm.

If you purchased a home less than two years ago, check with your accountant or a tax professional to determine what tax implications may come into play. Technically speaking, you can sell a home at any time as long as it's legally yours. We’re happy to help you through the buying and selling process–no matter when or why you want to sell.
