Seller Questions, Answered
When is the best time to sell a home in Orlando?
Buyer activity in Central Florida is often strong in late winter and spring, but the right time depends on your goals, inventory levels, and interest rates. Erica reviews current local data with you before you list.
Should I make repairs or sell as-is?
It depends on your home and budget. Small fixes and cosmetic updates often return more than they cost, while larger projects may not. Selling as-is is an option, though it can affect price and buyer pool.
What disclosures do Florida sellers have to make?
Florida sellers are generally required to disclose known facts that materially affect the value of the property and aren't readily observable to the buyer. Erica provides the appropriate forms and guidance, and an attorney can advise on specific situations.
How do I know how much I'll walk away with?
Erica prepares a seller net sheet that estimates your proceeds after commissions, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and closing fees, prorated taxes, and your mortgage payoff.
Can I sell my current home and buy another at the same time?
Yes. Erica can help you plan the timing, such as making a purchase contingent on your sale or arranging a rent-back, so you move only once.
