Selling Your Home? Here Are the Answers to Your Most Frequently Asked Questions
Selling your home is a big decision—and it’s completely normal to have questions before getting started. At Embry Group, we believe in keeping our clients informed and confident throughout the entire process. If you're thinking about selling your home but aren't sure where to begin, these frequently asked questions are a great place to start.
How much do I need to pay you?
One of the most common questions we hear is about cost—and the truth is, it can vary. The amount paid and who pays it are typically outlined in your listing agreement and the final purchase contract. But don't worry—your Embry Group agent will walk you through everything during your consultation so there are no surprises. We’re committed to full transparency and making sure you understand every step of the process.
How long does the process take?
That depends on the market and your specific property. When we meet, we’ll conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to evaluate what similar homes are selling for in your area and what kind of timeline you can expect. From there, we can create a strategy tailored to your goals—whether you're aiming for a fast sale or the highest possible return.
Why do I need a listing agent?
Selling a home isn’t just about putting a “For Sale” sign in the yard. You need someone who knows how to navigate contracts, negotiate offers, and market your property effectively. That’s where Embry Group comes in. We don’t just list your home—we advocate for your best interests, connect you with trusted professionals, and use proven marketing strategies to get your home seen by the right buyers. With us, you’re not just getting an agent—you’re getting a dedicated partner.
Do I need to do repairs or updates before I sell?
This depends on your home and the current market. When your agent walks through your property, they’ll give you honest feedback on anything that could help your home show better or sell faster. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint or updated fixtures can make a big difference. Once you’re under contract, buyers may also request repairs based on their inspection. Don’t stress—these requests are negotiable, and we’ll guide you through every step.
At Embry Group Real Estate, we’re here to make the selling process as smooth, strategic, and successful as possible. Whether you’re ready to list now or just gathering information, we’re happy to help.
