FAQS FOR HOMEOWNERS SELLING THEIR HOME

Here’s a list of common questions homeowners ask when considering selling their property. The answers are tailored to your branding and expertise as a trusted Florida real estate agent.

What is my home worth?

Determining your home's value is the first step in the selling process. At RE/MAX Foxfire, we offer a free, detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that evaluates your home's features and compares it to recent sales in your neighborhood. This helps set a competitive price to attract buyers while maximizing your return.

How long will it take to sell my home?

The time it takes to sell a home varies based on factors like market conditions, location, and pricing. The typical home took 79 days to sell in Q2 2024, reflecting a relatively quick turnaround for Florida sellers. Pricing your home accurately, combined with our targeted marketing strategy, ensures it’s seen by the right buyers, helping to sell your home faster.

How do I prepare my home for sale?

Preparing your home is key to attracting buyers. We recommend decluttering, deep cleaning, and making necessary repairs. At RE/MAX Foxfire, we also offer staging tips to enhance your home's appeal. Our team can guide you through specific updates to boost your property’s value.

What are the costs associated with selling my home?

Typical costs include real estate agent commissions, closing costs, and repairs (if needed). At RE/MAX Foxfire, we provide transparency on all fees upfront. We also help you navigate offers to minimize costs while maximizing your net proceeds.

What is the difference between a CMA and an appraisal?

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is prepared by a real estate agent to estimate your home’s market value based on local trends. An appraisal is performed by a licensed appraiser and is typically required by lenders for loan approval. Both help determine your home’s value, but a CMA is focused on setting a competitive listing price.

What does a real estate agent do to market my home?

At RE/MAX Foxfire, we create a custom marketing plan for each listing. This includes professional photography, virtual tours, MLS listings, social media advertising, and hosting open houses. Our goal is to give your home maximum exposure to attract serious buyers.

Do I need to be present for showings or open houses?

It’s typically best for homeowners to be absent during showings and open houses. This allows buyers to explore the property freely and imagine themselves living there. We manage all showings and provide feedback so you can stay informed without the stress of being present.

Should I sell my home before buying a new one?

It depends on your financial situation and the market. In a seller’s market, homes sell quickly, so it might be wise to buy first if possible. In a slower market, selling your home first can give you more flexibility. At RE/MAX Foxfire, we help you strategize based on your unique situation and goals.

What happens if my home doesn’t sell?

If your home doesn’t sell within the expected timeframe, we revisit the pricing strategy and marketing efforts. Sometimes, minor improvements or adjustments in the listing price can make a big difference. Our team at RE/MAX Foxfire continuously monitors the market to ensure your home is priced competitively.

How do I choose the best offer?

Choosing the best offer isn’t just about price. Factors like the buyer’s financing, contingencies, and closing timeline all play a role. We review all offers with you, explaining the pros and cons of each, so you can make an informed decision that aligns with your goals.

What is the role of a closing agent?

A closing agent ensures that all legal documents are handled properly, funds are transferred, and the property’s title is clear. At RE/MAX Foxfire, we work closely with reliable closing agents to make the final steps of your sale smooth and stress-free.

What is an absorption analysis?

An absorption analysis calculates how long it will take for homes in your area to sell, based on current inventory and sales pace. At RE/MAX Foxfire, we use this data to help you price your home competitively and adjust your strategy based on local market conditions.
