Selling your home: straight answers.

From recent sales we've actually walked, not an online estimate. We pull closed sales near you from the last few months, adjust for size, condition, and lot, and show you the math. You get a recommended list price and the reasoning behind it before you decide anything.

Only what pays you back. Paint, lighting, flooring touch-ups, landscaping, and deferred repairs usually return more than they cost. Big remodels rarely do. We walk the house with you and hand you a short list ranked by return, with rough costs, so you can decide what's worth it.

Typically 7 to 14 days from our first walk-through to live on the MLS. That covers prep, photos, and the listing paperwork. If you need it faster, we compress the schedule. Every listing gets a written rollout plan with dates before the sign goes in the yard.

Plan for commission, your share of Maryland's transfer and recordation taxes, your loan payoff, title and settlement fees, and any credits you agree to give the buyer. Commission is negotiable. Before you list, we give you a net sheet that shows what you walk away with at a few different sale prices.

Maryland sellers choose between a disclosure form and a disclaimer form. Even with the disclaimer, you must disclose latent defects you know about, meaning serious problems a buyer couldn't spot on a careful look. When in doubt, disclose. Surprises found later cost more than honest answers up front.

This is general information, not legal advice. For a specific situation, talk to a Maryland real estate attorney.

Sometimes. It makes sense for older homes, homes with a known issue, or when you want a smoother contract. You find problems on your schedule instead of the buyer's, and you can fix them or price them in. For newer homes in good shape it's usually not worth the cost.

No. Showings are booked through ShowingTime, you approve or decline each request from your phone, and a lockbox lets the buyer's agent in. Most sellers step out for an hour. We send you the feedback from every showing.

It's a Bright MLS status for homes that are listed but not open for showings yet. Agents and buyers can see the home is coming, which builds a list of interested buyers before the first weekend. We use it when a few extra days of buzz will help your launch.

Professional photos and video, the MLS and every major home search site, short videos for Instagram and TikTok, targeted ads, and open houses. You see the week-by-week rollout plan before we start, and once you're live you get a weekly report on views, showings, and feedback.

We set a clear deadline, then compare offers on what you actually net and how likely each one is to close, not just the top number. Financing strength, appraisal protection, inspection terms, and settlement date all count. You get a side-by-side so the decision is yours and it's obvious.

It's a negotiation, not a dead deal. Depending on the contract, the buyer may cover the gap, you may meet in the middle, or you can adjust the price. We also hand the appraiser a packet with comps and your upgrades, which helps keep a low number from happening in the first place.

Yes, and most move-up sellers do. The tools are a rent-back after closing, a contingent purchase, or a bridge loan or HELOC so you can buy first. We line up both timelines so you only move once.

Usually 30 to 45 days when the buyer has a mortgage, and as little as two weeks with cash. The contract sets the date. We track every deadline (inspection, appraisal, financing, title) and tell you where things stand each week until settlement.

Yes. Send us the address and a person pulls your comps, not an algorithm. You get a value range, the sales it's based on, and the prep that would move the number. No obligation. Request it on our home value page.
