Straight answers before you decide anything.

Questions that come up most

How long does a traditional sale take?

A traditional listing often runs anywhere from a few days to a few weeks on market (when priced properly),  then roughly a month from accepted offer to closing. Condition, financing, and timing all move that, and a direct sale can be considerably faster. Pricing is the key factor here and Sharon will discuss this with you privately.  

Do I need to renovate first?

Usually not. Some work pays for itself and some never does, and which is which depends on the house and the buyer it suits. Sharon walks the property and tells you plainly what is worth doing and what to leave alone.

What does it cost to sell?

Commission, closing costs (escrow, title fees, county transfer costs, etc.,) and whatever repairs or credits come out of negotiation. Sharon will provide a written estimate of closing costs once the property is listed, so nothing lands as a surprise at closing.

What changes if the property is part of an estate?

Probate adds steps rather than changing the fundamentals. There will be attorney and representative fees along with statutory probate costs. The court and the estate attorney set much of the pace, and Sharon coordinates the sale around them so the family has less to carry.
