Citrus County home selling

1. What is the first step in selling a home in Citrus County?

The first step is a professional home valuation with a local Realtor. I review recent comparable sales, market data and your home’s features to determine a competitive price range. This helps you list at the right number so you attract strong interest and avoid sitting on the market too long.

2. How do I know what my home is worth?

Your home’s value depends on location, square footage, condition, updates, roof age, AC age, lot size and recent sales in your neighborhood. I provide a detailed market analysis and walk you through the numbers so you understand exactly where your home fits in the market.

3. What improvements should I make before listing?

Not every upgrade brings a return. These usually do:

  • Fresh interior paint

  • Decluttering and organizing

  • Landscaping touch ups

  • Pressure washing

  • Small repairs and cosmetic fixes

I give every seller a simple list that maximizes value without overspending.

4. How long does it take to sell a home in Citrus County?

Most well priced homes attract strong interest within the first 30 days. Neighborhoods like Pine Ridge, Citrus Springs and Crystal River often move even quicker. Once you accept an offer, the closing typically takes 30 to 45 days.

5. Do I need professional photos and marketing?

Absolutely. High quality photos and marketing bring more buyers and stronger offers. My listing package includes:

  • Professional photography

  • Widespread social media marketing

  • Exposure to out of state buyers

  • MLS and all major real estate search sites

  • Optional video walkthroughs

Buyers often decide within seconds if they want to tour your home.

6. Should I be home during showings?

No. Buyers feel more comfortable walking through freely. I coordinate every showing, protect your schedule and provide feedback after each appointment.

7. What costs should I expect when selling?

Typical seller costs include:

  • Realtor compensation

  • Title and closing fees

  • Prorated taxes

  • Mortgage payoff if applicable

  • Repairs requested after inspection

I provide a full estimated net sheet upfront so you know your possible walk away amount.

8. What happens after I accept an offer?

Once an offer is accepted, the process includes:

  • Inspections

  • Appraisal

  • Buyer financing

  • Title work

  • Final walk through

  • Closing

I stay in close communication with all parties to keep everything on track.

9. What if the inspection finds issues?

Inspections often reveal small or moderate items. You can:

  • Make repairs

  • Offer a credit

  • Negotiate adjustments

  • Decline repairs depending on contract terms

My job is to guide you and protect your best interests.

10. How do I choose the right Realtor to sell my home?

Look for someone who:

  • Knows the Citrus County market

  • Communicates consistently

  • Has strong marketing

  • Understands pricing strategy

  • Has proven results

As a full time Citrus County Realtor, I use data, strategy and experience to help sellers move with confidence.
