Selling Your Home in Lake County

When considering the sale of your home, the first question that usually arises is "How much is my house worth?"  Your house is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.  Unfortunately, this is not the answer most people are looking for.  Fortunately, there is a way to property estimate the potential worth of your home or property.   This method, called the comparative analysis method or CMA, uses information from recent sales of homes in your area to estimate it's value.

Markets change and today's hot property could be a slow seller tomorrow.  On the other hand, you may find that your house is worth far more than you think.    In a normal market, we have found that if your house is property advertised and represented by a professional full time realtor and does not sell in 6 months, it is probably priced too high. 

The secret to selling a properly priced home in a timely manner is "market exposure".  This means that we need as many people helping us sell your house as possible.  When we list your property we will enter your home into the Florida Property Multiple Listing Service database, MLS for short.   This places your home in a searchable database where everyone can find it.  Until very recently, the MLS system was only accessible by Realtors who paid for the use of the system.  Now, thanks to the Internet, everyone can search for property on their own.  An example of this search ability is on this website at the tab marked Property Search .  On this website can search the entire State of Florida for available listings for free.

Upon listing your home into the MLS, we begin the marketing process.   We utilize many tried and proven marketing methods such as direct mail advertising, Print, TV advertising and Brokers and Public Open-House events.   Sellers are given frequent update reports on the progress of their sale and feedback on adjustments that need to be made.  We are paid only if we sell your property.

If you have any questions about selling your home in Lake County, please do not hesitate to contact us.
