Frequently Asked Questions
Homeowner FAQ’S?
What is my home worth?
Your home’s value is determined by various factors, including its location, size, condition, and the sale prices of comparable homes (comps) in your neighborhood. A professional appraisal or a comparative market analysis (CMA) from a real estate agent can help you understand its current market value.
Should I sell my home as-is or renovate first?
It depends on the condition of your home and the local market. In some cases, simple updates like painting, cleaning, or minor repairs can add value and attract more buyers. In other cases, extensive renovations may not yield a return on investment. A real estate agent can provide guidance based on the market and your home’s condition.
How long will it take to sell my home?
The timeline to sell varies depending on factors like the local market, your pricing, and the condition of your home. In a hot market, it could sell in just days or weeks, while in a slower market it might take months. Your real estate agent can help set expectations based on current market conditions.
What are the costs of selling a home?
Selling a home can come with several costs, including:
- Real estate agent commission (usually 6% of the sale price)
- Closing costs (typically 4-5% of the sale price)
- Repairs or improvements
- Staging and marketing costs
- Potential tax implications (capital gains tax if applicable) Be sure to budget for these costs when preparing to sell.
Do I need to stage my home before selling?
Staging can help buyers visualize how they would use a space and make your home more appealing. While it’s not mandatory, well-staged homes often sell faster and for higher prices. If you’re selling a vacant or cluttered home, professional staging could be beneficial. However, if your home is already in great shape, minimal staging might be enough.
How do I set the right price for my home?
Pricing your home correctly is crucial for a quick sale. Your real estate agent will conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which looks at recently sold homes in your area that are similar in size, condition, and location. Setting the price too high can result in your home sitting on the market longer, while pricing it too low may leave money on the table.
Should I accept the first offer?
It’s not always advisable to accept the first offer. Even if it seems appealing, review the terms carefully—consider the buyer’s financing, contingencies, and overall timeline. Sometimes, it’s worth negotiating for better terms or waiting for more competitive offers, depending on market conditions.
What happens if my home doesn’t sell quickly?
If your home doesn’t sell quickly, there may be a few reasons: the price may be too high, the home may need repairs, or the market may not be favorable. You may need to re-evaluate your price, improve your home’s condition, or explore different marketing strategies. It’s important to stay flexible and work with your real estate agent to adjust as needed.
What is a contingency, and should I accept one?
A contingency is a condition that must be met for the sale to go through. Common contingencies include financing, inspection, or appraisal contingencies. It’s up to you whether to accept a contingent offer. However, you might prefer an offer without contingencies to avoid delays or complications, especially in a seller’s market.
What are the tax implications of selling my home?
If you sell your primary residence, you may qualify for the capital gains tax exclusion. As of 2024, if you’ve lived in the home for two of the past five years, you can exclude up to $250,000 of capital gains ($500,000 for married couples). However, if the home was an investment property or you don’t meet the requirements, you may owe taxes on your gains. It’s important to consult with a tax professional to understand how this applies to your situation.
“Turnkee helped me. . .“
I have worked with TurnKee for years and they never fail to bring a unique perspective with their assistance. They are very responsive and make sure all of their bases are covered when it comes to real estate. I would recommend this business to anyone in the real estate market because they do a great job at providing a genuine and professional experience for everyone. I look forward to working with them more in the future!
Vanessa has been and is an exceptional leader & mentor. She’s extremely organized and professional, but if you need to talk about personal issues with her, she will make herself available.
Unlike most of those in leadership, she’s open to discussing new ideas and even trying them, even if previous methods have been successful in the past. That speaks volumes because that lets all team members know that she’s willing to think outside the box and how she values everyone’s input & opinions through the next game plan.
She’s also willing to say, “I don’t know how to do something” or “I don’t know what something is”. Instead of dragging out team meetings, she will have quick ‘1 on 1’s’ for a better understanding & breakdown which shows the other team members how much she respects and values our time while getting a better understanding of what she doesn’t know.
These attributes, along with her other talents, will contribute to the great success she will have in the very near future.
Vanessa is professional, informative and patient. I appreciated how she took her time in learning what types of homes I was interested in and some the needs of my family over time. She definitely helped me to become more prepared for the process and not rush to just be done with this. I am glad to had her help me on this journey.
“Last year had a situation arise whereby the Turnkee team not only saved us, they were compassionate, confidential and expedited the process. We were running against time and Turnkee executed!!! Loved working with them.”
“I worked with Vanessa during the Pandemic, when so much was unsure. Because of this a lot of our communication ended up being via phone and e-mail. I found Vanessa easy to speak with, professional, and honest with me which I truly appreciated. While I never purchased through Vanessa I really appreciated her guidance and help through my decision making process.”
Working with Turnkee I was quickly able to obtain my goals. They easy to work with. The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Go Turnkee!!!
“Vanessa listens and was knowledgeable in the market and willing to do go above and beyond to assist with my search. Unfortunately my plans changed and I was unable to proceed.”
