Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’ve got answers.

Whether you’re an experienced seller, selling for the first time, or just exploring your options, our FAQ section is here to help. Our goal is to make real estate feel simple, clear, and totally doable — no matter where you’re starting from.

What’s the first step to selling my home?

It all starts with a listing consultation. We’ll meet with you (virtually or in person) to learn about your goals, timeline, and property. From there, we’ll provide market data, a pricing strategy, and suggestions to help you get your home ready for market — with no pressure to commit.

Do I need to make repairs or updates before listing?

Not necessarily. Every home — and market — is different. Some small repairs or cosmetic updates can help your home show better and sell faster, but we’ll walk you through exactly what’s worth doing and what you can skip.

Do you offer staging?

Yes. We offer both partial and full staging through our trusted staging partners. We’ll also advise on decluttering, depersonalizing, and styling your home so it photographs beautifully and appeals to buyers.

How long does it take to get my home ready to list?

It depends on your situation. Some homes are ready in just a few days, while others may need a few weeks of prep. We’ll work with your schedule and support you every step of the way to create a realistic, low-stress timeline.

How do you decide what my home is worth?

We provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that looks at similar homes that have recently sold in your area. We also consider buyer demand, timing, condition, and neighborhood trends to recommend a price that’s competitive and aligned with your goals.

Can we price it high to “see what happens”?

We understand wanting to aim high, but overpricing can backfire. Homes that sit on the market too long often sell for less than homes that were priced right from the start. Our goal is to attract strong interest early — that’s when you’ll typically get the best offers.

Do I get to choose the price?

Yes — pricing is always your decision. We’ll advise you using market data and buyer trends, but you’ll never be pressured. We’ll simply guide you to what we believe will help you reach your goals.

How will you market my home?

We go all-in on marketing. Here’s what’s typically included:

  • Professional photography

  • Floor plans and aerial drone images

  • Matterport 3D virtual tours

  • MLS listing and syndication to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, etc.

  • Custom property website

  • Social media marketing on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube

  • Targeted ads on Google and social platforms

  • Direct mail to surrounding neighborhoods

  • Open houses and broker tours

We customize the plan to fit your home, your timeline, and your ideal buyer.

Can I sell off-market or privately?

Yes. If you prefer to sell more discreetly or test the waters before going live, we can discuss off-market strategies. This is often a good fit for sellers who need flexibility, privacy, or a fast timeline.

How do showings work?

Showings are scheduled through an app that allows you to approve or block specific times. We’ll coordinate everything, keep you notified, and gather feedback from agents. You’ll always know what’s happening, and we’ll never surprise you.

How long will it take to get an offer?

It depends on your pricing, market conditions, and location. Some homes receive offers within a few days; others may take a few weeks. We’ll keep you updated on showings and feedback so you always know where things stand.

Do I have to take the first offer I get?

Not at all. We’ll help you evaluate every offer based on more than just price — including buyer qualifications, contingencies, and timelines — so you can choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

What happens if I get multiple offers?

We’ll help you compare the offers side by side, communicate with the buyers’ agents, and negotiate terms that best support your goals. It’s not always about the highest price — we’ll look at all the factors.

What happens after I accept an offer?

Once under contract, the buyer typically completes an inspection and appraisal. We’ll help you navigate any requests or negotiations, track all key deadlines, and coordinate everything with the title company and buyer’s agent to ensure a smooth closing.

How long does closing take?

Most closings take 30–45 days from the time you accept an offer. If the buyer is paying cash, it may be faster. We’ll work with your schedule to make sure the timeline fits your needs.

Can I stay in my home after closing?

Sometimes, yes — with what’s called a “post-closing possession” or rent-back agreement. This allows you to stay for a set period after closing. We can explore this during negotiations if your next move needs a little extra time.

Who will I be working with if I decide to sell?

When you list with us, you get more than just one agent — you get a dedicated team. Here’s who supports you:

  • Your Listing Agent, who will guide you through pricing, prep, marketing, and negotiations

  • A Listing Manager, who handles all the logistics — from scheduling photography and staging to coordinating showings and paperwork

  • Our Operations Team, who ensures deadlines are met, documents are organized, and nothing slips through the cracks

  • A Marketing Support Team, behind the scenes, ensuring your property is promoted strategically and professionally across every channel

You’re never alone in the process — we operate as a true team so you get fast communication, consistent updates, and expert support at every stage.

How often will I hear from your team during the process?

You’ll get regular updates — including showing feedback, marketing activity, and offer activity — and you’ll always have someone to reach out to with questions. We pride ourselves on being highly responsive and proactive, so you never feel like you’re in the dark.

What makes your team different from other agents?

A few things:

  • We operate as a high-performing team, not a solo agent juggling everything

  • We’re consistently ranked in the top 1% of agents in the Twin Cities — results matter to us

  • We use proven systems and tools to keep your sale organized and stress-free

  • We pair market expertise with a modern marketing approach that gets homes seen and sold

  • Most importantly, we care deeply about your experience — and we’ll go the extra mile to make sure it’s a great one

What if I’m not ready yet — can I still meet with someone?

Absolutely. We’re happy to connect for a no-obligation consultation, even if you’re still deciding or months away from listing. Our goal is to be a helpful resource, whether you’re ready now or just gathering information.

What if I sell before I find my next home?

That’s a common concern, and we can help. We’ll talk through options like:

  • Rent-backs (where you stay in your home after closing)

  • Extended closings

  • Temporary housing options

  • Off-market opportunities to help you buy while selling

Our goal is to help you make a smooth transition with as little disruption as possible.

Can I delay the closing if my next home isn’t ready?

Possibly. Closing dates are negotiable, especially if we know your situation upfront. We can also negotiate flexible timelines into your purchase or sale agreement so you’re not caught in limbo.

How far in advance should I start the selling process?

Ideally 1–2 months before you want to hit the market — but we’ve also helped people get listed in under a week. Starting early gives us more time to prepare, but we’ll match your pace and timeline.

What happens if a buyer backs out?

It’s rare, but it can happen. If the contract includes contingencies (like inspection or financing), the buyer may have a window to cancel. If they do, we’ll relist immediately and revisit other strong buyers if there were multiple offers.

Do I need to move out before listing?

Not at all. Most sellers continue living in their home while it’s on the market. We’ll help you balance daily life with showing readiness — and only schedule showings during the windows that work for you.

Do I need to be home for showings?

We actually recommend not being home. Buyers are more comfortable exploring the space when the seller isn’t present. We’ll handle everything — from scheduling to feedback — so you don’t have to worry.

How do I keep my home “show ready” with kids or pets?

We get it — it’s not easy. We’ll offer staging tips that are realistic, and help you create a plan that works for your life. Many of our clients use a quick checklist to reset things before a showing.

What happens if I go on vacation while my home is listed?

No problem — we’ll coordinate everything remotely and keep you updated. It can actually be a great time to list since your home stays show-ready. We’ll make sure you have full visibility even from afar.
