Yes, we offer free property valuation services to help you determine the market value of your property. We use recent sales, current listings, and local trends to recommend a competitive price. 

The length of time it takes to sell a property can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the location, condition, and price of the property, as well as market conditions. We work diligently to market your property and find the right buyer as quickly as possible.

 Typical costs include agent commissions, closing costs, transfer taxes, repairs, and possible concessions. 

 Minor repairs and cosmetic updates can boost appeal. I’ll help you prioritize what’s worth fixing. 

 It varies by location and market conditions, but the average is 30–60 days once listed. 

 Spring and early summer tend to attract more buyers, but we can sell successfully year-round with the right strategy. 

 Buyers schedule showings through their agents. We’ll coordinate access and ensure your home is presented at its best. 

 Yes, many sellers do. We’ll work together to manage showings and keep the home show-ready. 

 Not required, but some sellers choose to have legal review. I’ll guide you through the contract and closing process. 

 We’ll evaluate each offer based on price, contingencies, financing, and closing timeline to choose the best one. 

 Common ones include financing, appraisal, and inspection. I’ll help you understand and negotiate them. 

 Yes, but it’s complex. I offer expertise in pricing, marketing, negotiation, and legal compliance. 

 I’ll guide you through final paperwork, title transfer, and settlement. You’ll need to move out by the closing date. 

 You may owe Maryland transfer taxes and possibly capital gains tax. I recommend consulting a tax advisor. 

 Yes. The mortgage will be paid off from the sale proceeds at closing. 

 Serious buyers are typically pre-approved for a mortgage, flexible with showings, and make timely, reasonable offers. 

 Pre-qualification is a basic estimate of borrowing power, while pre-approval involves a lender verifying income and credit—making it more reliable. 

 You can choose based on offer terms, but fair housing laws prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics. 

 Cash offers often close faster and with fewer risks, but we’ll weigh all terms to determine the best fit for your goals. 

 This is risky. We’ll discuss legal and financial implications before considering early occupancy.
