seller FAQ’s

To establish the listing price, Priya will complete a comparative market analysis (CMA). This involves examining the sale prices of similar homes in your area that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or were listed but did not sell. This analysis helps us understand current market conditions and together we set a competitive price.

The time it takes to sell a home depends on various factors, including current market conditions, the listing price, and the home's condition.

Priya will evaluate how long similar homes in the area have stayed on the market. If needed, we can discuss strategies to potentially expedite the sale.

Priya’s commission is typically a percentage of the final sale price, which is shared with the buyer’s agent. Each agent also splits the fees with their brokerage according to their individual contract.
