Everything You Need to Know About Selling Your Home

 

Selling a home comes with a lot of questions—from pricing and marketing to timing and closing. At REALgratitude®, we make the process simple, strategic, and impactful. Here are the answers to some of the most common seller questions.


Getting Started

How do I know if it’s the right time to sell?

The best time to sell depends on market conditions, demand, and your personal circumstances. Our Market Snapshots can help you determine if now is the right time to list your home.

How do I find out what my home is worth?

Start with our free home valuation, which provides a rough estimate based on current market trends. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend an in-person consultation to assess your home’s condition, upgrades, and unique features.

Do I need to make repairs before listing?

Not necessarily. We’ll evaluate your home and recommend cost-effective improvements that can increase your selling price. If needed, we can connect you with trusted vendors to handle minor repairs.


Pricing & Marketing Your Home

How do you determine the right price for my home?

We use real-time market data, comparable sales, and local trends to price your home competitively—so it sells quickly and for top dollar.

How do you market my home?

We combine traditional real estate marketing with community-driven outreach, including:

• Professional photography & virtual tours

• Targeted social media ads & email campaigns

•MLS exposure + listings on Zillow, Realtor.com, and more

Neighborhood door-knocking & community events

Open house donation drives to generate buzz

 

What if I want to sell off-market?

We can connect you with serious off-market buyers, including investors and cash buyers, for a faster, low-hassle sale.


The Selling Process

How long does it take to sell a home?

The timeline depends on market conditions, your home’s price, and buyer demand. We’ll give you a realistic estimate based on your needs and homes similar to yours.

Do I need to be present for showings?

No. Most buyers prefer private showings with their agent where the seller is not present. We’ll coordinate everything to make it convenient for you.

What are closing costs, and who pays them?

Closing costs typically include agent commissions, title fees, taxes, and escrow costs. We’ll break down the expenses so you know exactly what to expect.

What happens after I accept an offer?

Once you accept an offer, the buyer will complete inspections, secure financing, and finalize paperwork. We handle all negotiations and ensure a smooth closing.
