FAQs

What is my home worth?

I get this question all the time and the truth is — your home’s value isn’t something a website like Zillow can spit out accurately. I’ve spent decades marketing in South Georgia, and I know what buyers here are really looking for. I’ll personally walk through your home with you, compare it to recent sales in the area and factor in the unique details that make your property stand out. Together, we’ll land on a price that attracts buyers and helps you walk away with the most money in your pocket.

How long will it take to sell?

Every market moves a little differently, but in this area a home that’s priced right can move surprisingly fast. I’ve had some sell in a matter of days and others take much longer depending on price point and time of year. I’ll show you the latest data so you know what to expect up front — no surprises.

Should I stage my home?

Staging isn’t just HGTV hype — it really works. Buyers shop with their eyes and the right furniture or décor can make a home feel bigger, brighter and more inviting. That doesn’t always mean bringing in a truckload of new stuff. Sometimes it’s as simple as moving a chair or adding a few accents. I’ll help you figure out the best approach for your home.

Should I sell before buying my next home?

That depends on your comfort level. Some of my clients want to sell first so they don’t have two mortgages hanging over their heads. Others find their dream home and buy first to make sure they don’t miss out. Both approaches can work — my job is to walk you through your options so you can move forward with confidence.

Will buyers ask for repairs?

A lot of the time, yes. After inspections, buyers often ask for repairs or credits. I’ll help you decide what’s fair and what’s not worth agreeing to. The goal is always to keep the deal moving forward while protecting your bottom line.

Do I need to make updates before selling?

Not always. I’ve seen sellers waste thousands on projects that didn’t increase the value even a little. Sometimes a little paint, some fresh mulch or tightening up a loose doorknob is all it takes to make a big impact. I’ll walk through your home and give you honest advice on what’s worth doing — and just as importantly, what you can skip.

What does it cost to sell my home?

This is a smart question, and I don’t believe in keeping numbers fuzzy. You can expect real estate commissions, title fees and your share of closing costs. If you’ve got a mortgage, that’ll be paid off at closing too. I’ll create a simple “net sheet” for you so you can see exactly what you’ll walk away with before we even put a sign in the yard.

Do I need professional photos?

Yes — no question. These days, buyers are making decisions on their phones before they ever step foot inside. Professional photos (and sometimes video tours) make your home stand out and get people through the door. Before I got into advertising/marketing I was a professional photographer, so I know how to make your home look it’s best!

What if I get multiple offers?

That’s one of the best phone calls I get to make: “We’ve got more than one offer.” But here’s the thing — the highest number isn’t always the best deal. I’ll break down the terms, financing and timelines with you so we can choose the offer that not only looks good on paper but actually gets you to the closing table.

How do you market my home?

This is where I roll up my sleeves. After 35+ years in marketing, I know how to get your home in front of the right buyers. I use professional photography, video, social media advertising, agent-to-agent networking and good old-fashioned community connections. I also own the only feature magazine geared specifically towards and about Cook County. I don’t just “list and wait” — I actively market your property so it gets noticed and sold.
