Our transaction coordinator will keep you in compliance as you complete the following:

Disclosures: Sellers must disclose any known defects or issues with the property that could affect its value or safety. This includes disclosing past repairs, renovations, or damage, as well as any environmental hazards such as lead-based paint or asbestos.

Contracts and Agreements: Sellers will work us to ensure that all contracts and agreements are legally binding and enforceable. This includes the purchase agreement, listing agreement, and any other documents related to the sale of the property.

Title and Ownership: Sellers must ensure that they have legal title to the property and have the right to sell it. This may involve resolving any title issues, liens, or encumbrances on the property before completing the sale.

Closing Procedures: Sellers must follow all legal requirements and procedures during the closing process, including signing necessary documents, transferring ownership of the property, and disbursing funds to the appropriate parties.

Tax Obligations: Sellers should be aware of their tax obligations related to the sale of the property, including capital gains taxes, property transfer taxes, and any other applicable taxes. Consulting with a tax professional can help sellers understand their tax liabilities and minimize their tax burden.

Local Regulations: Sellers should familiarize themselves with local regulations and zoning laws that may affect the sale of their property. This includes any restrictions on property use, building codes, or permit requirements.

In the current market (2024), if a home is listed at market value, data shows it takes approx 1-3 months to sell. If you list well above market value, the home will take longer to sell until list price is brought to more appropriate market value. If you list below market value, this often draws in more buyers potentially creating bidding wars to land you at market value and a quick sale.
