Most Frequently Asked Questions I Get From Sellers

If you’re thinking about selling, you probably have a few questions, everyone does. Here are the big ones I get from sellers andand the honest answers that help sellers feel ready for what’s next.

Table of Contents

How much is my home worth?

Your home’s value depends on recent comparable sales, current demand, condition, upgrades, and location. I run a full market analysis, not an automated guess, so you get the most accurate number for today’s market.

How long will it take to sell my home?

This depends on pricing, condition, and market activity. In Northeastern NC & Coastal VA, most well-priced homes sell within a few weeks, but I’ll give you an honest timeline based on your specific property.

Do I need to make repairs or updates before listing?

Not always! Some updates are worth it, some aren’t. I’ll walk through your home with you and let you know what’s worth fixing and what buyers in our area don’t care about.

When is the best time to sell?

Spring and summer tend to be busiest, but good homes sell all year here. The “best time” is honestly when it’s right for you, and I can help you strategize the timing.

How do showings work?

Buyers’ agents request a time. You approve or decline from your phone. I coordinate everything and make sure your home stays secure and clean.

What happens if I get a low offer?

We negotiate, calmly, strategically, and without letting emotions take over. There are always ways to counter. You won’t be dealing with it alone.

How much does it cost to sell?

I’ll break down every cost upfront — compensations, attorney fees, prorated taxes, title work, possible repairs, so you know exactly what to expect.

What happens after we accept an offer?

Inspections, appraisal, paperwork, and timelines, I keep track of all of it so nothing slips through the cracks. My job is to guide you from contract to closing without stress.
