Selling
Selling your home in Raleigh
A good sale is decided before the sign goes in the yard: the right price, the right prep, and a plan for the offer. Casey gives you the numbers in writing up front, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
The six steps
- 1
Decide your goal
Net profit, speed, or a specific move-in date — the plan follows the goal.
- 2
Get your numbers
A written net sheet showing commissions, seller costs, and what you take home.
- 3
Prep the house
Fix the cheap things buyers notice; skip the renovations that never pay back.
- 4
Price it right
Set the number from recent comparable sales, not from hope.
- 5
List and market
Photography, MLS, syndication, open houses, and agent outreach.
- 6
Offers and closing
Compare offers on more than price, then close on schedule.
Selling questions
How do I price my home so it actually sells?
Compare recent sales of similar homes nearby, adjust for condition and upgrades, and price to the market you are selling into — not the number you hope for. Overpricing in the first two weeks is the most common and most expensive mistake. Casey gives you a written comparables sheet before you list.
What should I fix before putting my home on the market?
Fix the cheap things buyers notice first: paint, lighting, landscaping, and small repairs. Major renovations rarely pay back what they cost. Casey walks the house with you and ranks fixes by what they are likely to return.
Do I have to make repairs before listing?
No. You can sell as-is, disclose and price for the condition, or repair selectively. The right answer depends on your timeline and your net goal, and Casey models both before you decide.
How is my home marketed once it is listed?
Photography, listing on the major real estate sites, syndication to the regional MLS, open houses, and direct outreach to agents who have buyers in your price range. Casey also posts listings to her own channels.
Can you help with an inherited, tenant-occupied, or probate sale?
Yes. Inherited homes, tenants already in place, and estate timelines are common situations and each has its own sequence. Casey handles the paperwork order and keeps the sale moving.
