Tips to Maximize Your Sale Price
These strategies help you attract more buyers, negotiate from strength, and close your sale faster at the best possible price.
Price Right
Overpricing kills sales velocity. Price at market value to attract multiple offers quickly.
Invest in Photos
Professional photography is one of the best ROI improvements. Most buyers start online.
Stage Your Home
Declutter, depersonalize, and arrange furniture to help buyers envision themselves living there.

Roof, foundation, heating, and electrical problems scare buyers. Address these before listing.
Improve Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. Fresh paint, landscaping, and clean entry attract more showings.
Market Aggressively
Use multiple channels: MLS, social media, open houses, and targeted buyer outreach.
Be Flexible with Showings
Quick, easy showings increase buyer viewings. Accommodate buyer schedules when possible.
Disclose Everything
Transparent disclosure of issues builds trust and prevents legal problems down the line.

Portfolio & PricingHome Selling FAQ
How much does it cost to sell a home?
Total selling costs typically range from 6-8% of the sale price. This includes real estate commission (5-6% split between agents), legal fees ($1,000-$1,500), potential repairs and staging ($2,000-$10,000), and inspections. These are negotiable—discuss details with your agent.
How long does it take to sell a home?
From listing to closing typically takes 60-90 days in normal market conditions. This includes 30-60 days on market, plus 30-60 days for the closing period after offer acceptance. In hot markets it's faster; in slow markets it can take longer.
Should I make repairs before selling?
Focus on high-impact, cost-effective improvements: fix obvious defects, refresh paint, deep clean, improve curb appeal. Major renovations rarely provide full ROI. Buyers expect some negotiation room for repairs.
What is a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)?
A CMA analyzes recently sold comparable properties to determine fair market value. It considers location, size, condition, and recent sales to recommend a realistic list price.
Should I list at asking price or higher?
List slightly below market value to generate buyer interest and multiple offers. This often nets you more than listing high and waiting. Your agent recommends the optimal listing price based on market conditions.
What if I don't have time to stage?
Professional staging is an investment (usually $1,000-$3,000) that often returns 5-10% on sale price. If budget-constrained, focus on decluttering, deep cleaning, and curb appeal—these are low-cost, high-impact.
Can I sell without a real estate agent?
While you can sell privately (FSBO), agent-listed homes typically sell for significantly more due to wider exposure, professional marketing, and expert negotiation. Commission costs are usually recovered through higher sale price.
What's an inspection contingency?
A clause allowing buyers to inspect and negotiate repairs. You can offer to fix issues, credit buyer, or allow them to walk. Clear disclosure upfront prevents last-minute surprises.
How do I handle multiple offers?
Multiple offers are excellent—you can counter all of them. Choose based on price, terms, buyer strength, closing timeline, and conditions. Your agent helps evaluate which offer is strongest.
What if my home needs major repairs?
Disclose everything. You can price accordingly and let buyers decide if they'll repair. Some investors specifically buy homes needing work. Being upfront attracts the right buyers.
