FAQs for Home Sellers
Miami‑Dade is a complex, fast‑changing market with wide pricing variations by neighborhood, zoning, and buyer demographic. A local REALTOR® helps you price strategically, market effectively, comply with Florida disclosure laws, and negotiate confidently to protect your bottom line.
Your home’s value depends on location, condition, recent comparable sales, lot size, flood zone, and market demand. I provide a customized comparative market analysis based on current Miami‑Dade data—not generic online estimates.
Time on market depends on price, condition, and location. Well‑priced homes in desirable areas often sell quickly, while higher‑priced or specialized properties may require more targeted marketing and patience.
Not always. Some improvements offer a strong return, while others may not. I’ll help you decide which updates, if any, will improve marketability without overspending.
Marketing typically includes professional photography, online exposure, MLS syndication, targeted digital advertising, agent‑to‑agent outreach, and strategies to reach local, out‑of‑state, and international buyers when appropriate.
Florida law requires sellers to disclose known material facts that affect the property’s value, such as roof issues, plumbing problems, or prior flooding. I guide you through the disclosure process to reduce risk and protect you legally.
I evaluate the strength of each offer—not just price—and negotiate terms such as timelines, inspections, financing, and contingencies to help you choose the best overall outcome.
Seller costs may include real estate commissions, title fees, documentary stamp taxes, and prorated expenses. I provide a clear estimate early so there are no surprises.
