A comparative market analysis
Real comparable sales, the condition the house is actually in, and what buyers around Lubbock are paying extra for right now.
How the valuation works
You get a range and the reasoning
The comparables behind the number, and an honest read on which repairs and which photographs would move you toward the top of the range. Some are worth doing and some are not.
You decide, without pressure
If the number works, we talk about timing, preparation and what the first ten days on the market should look like. If it does not, you have lost nothing.
What comes with the listing
- Home preparation and repair advice
- Professional photography
- Pricing from real comparable sales
- Your home advertised on hundreds of websites across the web
- A multiple-offer strategy
- Negotiation on every offer
- The paperwork gathered early: permits, roof age, insurance claims, association documents
- Focused attention from contract to closing
A thoughtful way forward
Steps to selling your home
Start with your timing
Why you are moving and when you need to be finished decides more about the plan than anything else. Say it out loud first; everything after it follows.
A valuation, from real comparables
A range, the sales behind it, and an honest read on what would move you toward the top of it. Prepared by a person who has seen the houses, not by an algorithm.
What is worth doing first
Some work returns more than it costs and some does not. Michael will tell you which is which for your house, and what buyers here actually notice.
Price it to sell, not to sit
Well-presented, correctly-priced homes sell in every month of the year. Overpriced ones sit in all of them, and the reductions cost more than the right number would have.
Photography and marketing
Professional photography, the listing syndicated where buyers actually look, and a plan for keeping it in front of people who viewed once.
Offers, and what lands in your account
Price is one term among several. You will see the whole picture as a net-proceeds figure, meaning what you actually walk away with, before you sign anything.
Questions sellers ask
What is the fastest way to sell?
Price and presentation, mostly. A home priced to the comparables and properly photographed moves quickly; one priced on hope does not, whatever else is done to it. If speed matters more than the last few per cent, say so early, because that changes the plan from the start.
How do I find out what my home is worth?
Ask Michael for a valuation. A person prepares it from real comparable sales and walks you through the reasoning: a range, the comps behind it, and an honest read on what would move you toward the top of it. No listing agreement, no obligation.
Is this one of those instant online estimates?
No. Automated estimates are averages of a neighborhood, and your house is not an average. They handle acreage, additions and anything unusual particularly badly, which around Lubbock covers a lot of property.
When is the best time to sell here?
Season matters less than preparation. Well-presented, correctly-priced homes sell in every month; overpriced ones sit in all of them. Your own timeline should drive the date more than the calendar does.
What will it cost me to sell?
Commission is negotiated and disclosed in writing before you list, and there are the usual closing costs on top. You will see the whole picture as a net-proceeds figure, meaning what lands in your account, before you sign anything.
