We build your recommended asking price using a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) rather than rely on automated online estimates. Determined Realty analyzes recent sales of similar properties, active competing listings, localized market trends across Southeast Michigan, and your property’s unique features, condition, and upgrades. This data-driven approach gives you a clear, realistic number designed to maximize your net return while attracting serious buyers.
Before putting your property on the market, focus on high-impact preparations that enhance its overall presentation and appeal:
De-clutter & Personalize: Clear out personal items, excess furniture, and clutter to help prospective buyers envision themselves in the space.
Address Minor Repairs: Fix easy, visible items like leaky faucets, loose handles, chipped paint, or burnt-out lightbulbs that could raise red flags during showings.
Boost Curb Appeal: Clean up landscaping, power wash walkways, and refresh the front entrance to make a strong first impression.
Consult with Determined Realty: Have us walk through the property prior to listing to help you prioritize worthwhile prep tasks and skip unnecessary expenditures.
Evaluating multiple offers involves looking closely at the complete structure of each proposal, not just the purchase price:
Financing & Terms: Compare cash offers against pre-approved mortgage loans, and assess the strength and reliability of the buyer’s lender.
Contingencies: Review inspection, appraisal, and sale-of-home contingencies to determine which offer carries the lowest risk of falling through.
Deposit & Concessions: Check the earnest money deposit amount and any requested seller concessions or closing cost contributions.
Timeline: Ensure the buyer’s proposed closing date and occupancy timeline align with your moving plans.
When calculating your estimated net proceeds at closing, plan for the following standard selling expenses:
Real Estate Brokerage Fees: Real estate commissions agreed upon in your listing contract.
Transfer Taxes & Title Costs: State and county transfer taxes, owner’s title insurance policy fees, and escrow/closing agent fees.
Property Taxes & Utilities: Prorated property taxes and final utility bills calculated through the exact day of closing.
Outstanding Liens or Mortgages: Payoff amounts for any current mortgages, home equity loans, or municipal liens against the property.
Selling land requires a fundamentally different pricing, preparation, and marketing strategy compared to selling a residential home:
Value Drivers: A home’s value centers on condition, layout, and comparable home sales. Land value depends heavily on parcel size, buildability, zoning regulations, soil/perc tests, topography, and access to utilities.
Property Prep & Boundaries: Instead of staging interior rooms, preparing land involves clearing brush or debris, marking property lines, and gathering documentation regarding zoning and utility hookups.
Visual Marketing: Acreage and raw land rely heavily on aerial drone imagery, site maps, and marked boundary overlays rather than traditional room photography.
Target Audience: Land buyers are typically builders, developers, or individuals looking for custom build sites, requiring targeted outreach to specific land-buyer channels.
Recent sales are only part of the pricing picture. We also consider competing listings, your home’s condition, location, and distinctive features to prepare a personalized Comparative Market Analysis. Use this information to discuss an asking-price strategy and make informed decisions about your sale.
