Thinking about putting your Live Oak area property on the market? Now is as good of a time as any! Buyers are out and active. Many home buyers who were hesitant to purchase near the end of the recession are now feeling more confident in a purchase. Now is a great time for home sellers to take action!
As a home seller, your best chance of selling your home in a timely manner for a good price, is to list it with a Florida Licensed Realtor. Properties listed on the North Florida Multiple Listing Service are available for view by Realtors in our area. When Realtors take buyers out to view properties, they sift through homes on the MLS system to determine what properties would be the best fit for their buyers.

It seems simple, but some of the most important tasks to getting your home sold are the easiest:
First, I will take a look at your home. I also want to use this as an opportunity to get to know you! What is driving you to sell? What is your motivation? After this visit, I will compare your property with any that have sold over the last few months. It will also be compared with similar properties that are currently on the market since these are your competition.
A couple days later I will come back out to your home and show you the information I gathered. I will use the average list price, average sales price and average days on market (at the final list price) from the three most similar sold properties. Using this information, I can provide you with a recommended list price and give you an idea of how long you can expect to be on the market at that price. Depending on your motivation, I can adjust this price. Notice I only use the FINAL list price of the sold comps. This is the price that brought a contract.
It’s at this second appointment that we fill out the listing agreement. I will also walk through your home and give you advice on how to prepare for pictures. If your home is ready to go, I’ll schedule a photographer to come out as soon as possible. They will take professional photos, and possibly drone photos. The turnaround time is typically 24-48 hours. Once we have all photos back, the home can go ACTIVE on the MLS. I will put a sign in your front yard and a Supra lockbox on your front door. This electronic lockbox only allows Realtors to access and it’s all logged so we know who is going in your home and when.
Before listing your property on the market, read these easy tips to increase your home’s value.
Nothing! Sellers do not pay a dime until closing. If I list your home and it doesn’t sell, it’s at no cost to you. While it varies depending on many different factors, for most residential properties the brokerage fee is 6% of the sales price. If a different brokerage brings in a buyer for your property, that fee is split in half with the selling brokerage.
Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions you have. I do not push sellers one way or the other. I will simply answer your questions and give you my professional opinion.
