It depends on several factors; condition, floorplan, lighting, audience, among others. Let's walk it together and assess.

In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.

As-Is means that a Seller will Not make any Repairs, but it does not mean that a Buyer will not do an inspection or have recourse for any adverse conditions. A Buyer will still typically perform an inspection and request a credit in lieu of repairs for any major items. For example; roof, HVAC, plumbing and/or malfunctioning appliances.

When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.

Days on Market and Closing Times vary depending on your sector of the market; properties at or below the Median Home Price are selling in 1-2 weeks currently, whereas Luxury or Specialty Properties have longer Times on Market. But Luxury properties have a higher percentage sales in cash, so Closing Times are quicker.

Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures, and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.

A professional appraiser will inspect a property and compare it to other similar homes in the area. From there, a fair market value is determined. Unless you plan on paying all cash for a property, you will likely need a home appraisal.

A real estate agent is paid as part of the closing costs, which comes out of the sale proceeds at the end of the process.

Your first step is to hire a real estate agent you trust. Together, you will set an asking price, prepare your home for listing, list and market your property, negotiate an offer, and close on the sale.

Sharing particular information when connecting with a real estate agent can help give you an idea of your home’s value in today’s market. The in-person expertise of a real estate agent will give you a more accurate opinion of your home’s value.
