By Lauren Gregg, Real Estate Broker Associate
Gather your documents
Collect your deed, survey, permits for past work, HOA documents, utility information and any recent inspections. For land, include survey and any septic or well records.
Prepare the property
Small repairs, decluttering, landscaping and cleaning help buyers focus on the property. For land, clear access and mark corners where possible.
Pricing considerations
Pricing should be informed by recent comparable sales, current competition and the property's condition. Lauren can walk you through a market review.
Marketing and showings
Quality photos, an accurate description and flexible showings help reach buyers. Discuss which marketing channels make sense for your property type.
Disclosures
Florida sellers have disclosure obligations. Consult a real estate attorney if you have questions about what to disclose.
From contract to closing
After accepting an offer, expect inspections, appraisal, title work and closing coordination. Staying responsive keeps the timeline on track.
