Seller FAQ
Common Seller Questions
How do I determine my home's value?
We provide a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that evaluates recent sales of similar homes in your area, current market conditions, and your home's unique features to determine a competitive listing price.
How long will it take to sell my home?
In the current Columbus market, well-priced homes typically sell within 30-60 days. Factors include price, condition, location, and market conditions. Our agents can provide specific insights for your neighborhood.
What should I do to prepare my home for sale?
Focus on curb appeal, decluttering, deep cleaning, and minor repairs. Consider professional staging for maximum impact. Your agent will provide a customized preparation checklist based on your home and target buyer.
What are the costs of selling a home?
Typical seller costs include agent commission, closing costs (1-3%), potential repairs from inspection negotiations, and any outstanding liens or HOA dues. Your net proceeds sheet will detail all expected costs.
Should I make repairs before listing?
Address obvious issues that could deter buyers or lower appraisal value. Your agent can advise which repairs offer the best return on investment versus selling as-is with a price adjustment.
