Frequently asked questions.

🏠 Home Selling FAQs

1. When’s the best time to sell my home?

In Marin County, spring and early summer are often ideal, but pricing, presentation, and your personal timeline matter more than the season.

2. How do you determine my home’s value?

I use a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that compares your home to recent local sales, along with market trends and your home’s unique features.

3. What should I do to prepare my home for sale?

Declutter, clean, and handle small repairs. I also offer a “Ready to Sell” package that includes staging, cleaning, and light updates to help your home shine.

4. Do I need to be present for showings?

Nope, it’s best if you’re not home. Buyers feel more comfortable exploring without the seller present.

5. How long will it take to sell my home?

That depends on the market, price, and condition. In Marin, well-priced homes in good condition can sell within a few weeks.

6. What are closing costs for sellers?

Typically 5–8% of the sale price, including agent commissions, transfer taxes, and escrow fees.

7. Can I sell my home and buy another one at the same time?

Yes! It takes careful planning, but I can help coordinate the timing so you’re not left without a place to live (or juggling two mortgages).

8. Why should I work with you instead of selling on my own?

I bring local market expertise, professional marketing, negotiation experience, and full transparency, plus, I donate a portion of my net compensation to the charity of your choice. 🌿
