Common Questions
How long does it take to sell a home in the Twin Cities?
In the current market, homes in the east metro typically sell within 43 days on average. Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods often receive offers within the first week.
What's the best time of year to sell?
Spring (March-June) is traditionally the busiest season with the most buyer activity. However, winter listings often face less competition and attract serious buyers.
Should I make repairs before listing?
Focus on high-impact, low-cost improvements. Fresh paint, clean carpets, and minor repairs often yield the best ROI. We'll provide specific recommendations during our consultation.
How do you determine the listing price?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current competition, market trends, and your home's unique features. Pricing correctly from the start is crucial for a successful sale.
What are closing costs for sellers?
Sellers typically pay 7-10% of the sale price, including agent commissions, title insurance, prorated taxes, and other fees. We'll provide a detailed net sheet estimate.
