Selling Process

From decision to closing day

A clear roadmap for what to expect when selling in PG County. Eight phases, transparent deliverables, no guessing.

  1. Week 0

    Strategy session

    We walk the property together, talk goals, timing, and net proceeds. You get a draft pricing range and a clear scope of prep work.

    What you get
    • Comparable sales review
    • Net sheet with estimated costs
    • Recommended launch window
  2. Weeks 1–2

    Prep & repairs

    A targeted punch list focused only on the work that returns dollars at sale. We coordinate trusted local vendors when you need them.

    What you get
    • Prioritized prep checklist
    • Vendor referrals (handyman, painter, cleaner)
    • Pre-inspection if appropriate
  3. Week 3

    Photography & staging

    Professional photos, video, and light staging set the tone before the first showing. First impressions are made online — we make them count.

    • Professional photography
    • Floor plan and short-form video
    • Light staging recommendations
  4. Week 3

    • Syndication to major portals
    • Coming-soon and launch-day social

FAQ

Questions sellers ask most

How long does it really take from list to close?

For well-prepped, well-priced homes in PG County, plan on 4–8 weeks from launch to closing. Cash deals can close in two; financed deals typically need 30–45 days from contract.

Do I have to do all the prep work?

No. We prioritize the items that actually return money at sale. Some sellers do the work themselves; others coordinate with our vendor network. Both paths can work.

What if I get an offer before launch?

It happens. We evaluate any pre-launch offer against what the open market would likely deliver — sometimes the bird in hand wins, sometimes patience pays more.

Who pays for what at closing?

Sellers in Maryland typically cover the title search, owner's title insurance, recording taxes, and agent commissions. We build a net sheet up front so there are no surprises.
