Seller FAQs
How do you decide on a listing price?
Pricing starts with recent comparable sales and current activity in your specific area, adjusted for your home’s condition and features. Tracy walks you through the reasoning so the number makes sense.
What does it cost to sell?
Selling costs vary and are agreed to in writing up front. Tracy will outline the expected costs for your situation before you list, so there are no surprises.
