Common questions
Seller FAQs
- How long does it take to sell a home in Orlando?
- Average is 45 days from list to close. Well-priced homes with professional marketing sell in 20–30 days. Overpriced homes linger 90+ days — and usually end up selling for less after a price cut.
- Should I list high and negotiate down?
- No. Overpriced homes sit on the market, which signals weakness. Buyers assume something is wrong. We recommend pricing at market value or 2–3% below to generate offers quickly and let competition push the price up.
- Do I have to fix everything the inspector finds?
- No. Major structural items are often negotiated. Minor cosmetic issues, you can usually ignore. We'll advise what's worth conceding versus holding firm on.
- Can I sell while I still have a mortgage?
- Yes — very common. Mortgage payoff comes out of proceeds automatically at closing. If you owe more than the home is worth, we'll discuss all available options.
- Is selling without an agent worth it?
- FSBO homes sell for an average of 6% less and sit 20+ days longer. When you factor in the time and risk, the savings are usually smaller than they appear. Read our full FSBO guide to decide.
