FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR HOME SELLERS

Q: How long does it take to sell a luxury home in Seattle?

A: Well-priced luxury homes in Seattle typically sell within 30-60 days. However, this varies significantly by property type, location, and market conditions. Waterfront properties and unique estates may take 90-180 days to find the right buyer. My strategic pricing and global Sotheby's marketing often results in faster sales than market average.

Q: What does it cost to sell a home in Washington State?

A: Typical seller costs include: real estate commission (typically 5-6% of sale price), excise tax (1.78% in most areas), title insurance, escrow fees, and any negotiated buyer credits. For a $2 million home, expect total costs of approximately $150,000-180,000. I provide detailed net proceeds estimates during our consultation.

Q: Should I stage my home before selling?

A: Professional staging typically returns 5-15% higher sale prices and reduces time on market. For luxury properties, staging is especially important as buyers expect to see the home's full potential. I work with Seattle's top staging professionals and can guide you on whether full staging, partial staging, or just professional photography is the right investment for your property.

Q: When is the best time to sell a home in Seattle?

A: Spring (April-June) typically sees the highest buyer activity and best prices in Seattle. However, luxury homes can sell year-round. The best time to sell depends on your specific property, market conditions, and personal timeline. I provide customized timing recommendations based on current market data.

Q: How do you determine my home's value?

A: I conduct a comprehensive comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes: recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, current active listings (your competition), market absorption rates, unique property features, current luxury market trends, and seasonal factors. This data-driven approach ensures accurate pricing that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

Q: Do luxury homes sell for asking price?

A: In competitive Seattle markets, well-priced luxury homes often receive multiple offers and sell at or above asking price. However, overpriced properties sit on market and eventually sell below original asking price. Strategic pricing from the start is critical—my average luxury listing sells for 98% of asking price within 45 days.

Q: How is selling with Sotheby's different from other brokerages?

A: Sotheby's International Realty provides: global exposure to 35 million annual website visitors, exclusive partnerships with Christie's auction house, presence in 80+ countries, luxury-focused marketing, high-net-worth buyer network, art-of-living brand positioning, and 275+ years of Sotheby's auction house prestige. This combination reaches qualified luxury buyers that mass-market brokerages cannot access.

Q: Will you buy my home?

A: I represent sellers in traditional brokerage transactions, not as a buyer. This ensures my fiduciary duty is entirely to you, maximizing your net proceeds rather than purchasing at a discount. However, if you need a fast sale, I can connect you with reputable institutional buyers or investors in my network.
