The Complete Orlando Home Selling Checklist

Start 6–8 weeks before you want to list. Your first three moves are: interview agents and choose one, set a pricing strategy built on recently closed comparable sales, and order a pre-listing inspection so you know what the buyer's inspector will find. In parallel, begin decluttering — it always takes longer than people expect. The full sequence is laid out step by step in the free checklist.

A correctly priced, well-presented Orlando home typically goes under contract in the first two to three weeks and closes 30–45 days after that — so roughly 45–75 days from listing to keys, plus any prep time before you go live. The first 10–14 days on the market draw the most qualified buyers, which is why pricing and presentation at launch matter so much.

Fix the deal-killers (roof at end of life, active leaks, broken HVAC, safety hazards, FHA/VA-flagged items) and the cheap, high-ROI cosmetics (neutral paint, worn flooring, dated fixtures, caulk, power-washing). Skip or price-in big remodels — they rarely return their full cost. In Florida specifically, an insurable roof and a working AC sell more homes than any renovation.

Under Florida's Johnson v. Davis standard, you must disclose known material defects that aren't readily observable to the buyer. As of October 1, 2024, a written flood disclosure is also required on residential sales. Disclosing a problem doesn't obligate you to fix it — you can sell as-is — but hiding a known defect can unwind the sale after closing.
