Your home’s value depends on location, condition, size, recent comparable sales, and current demand. A local agent, as myself, can perform a detailed market analysis to give you an accurate price that attracts buyers while maximizing your return. 

Fresh paint, updated lighting, modern hardware, landscaping, and minor kitchen or bath updates offer the best return. Decluttering and professional staging also help your home show beautifully online and in person. 

Most homes in Somerset, Morris and Union counties, sell within a few weeks if they are well priced and presented, and marketed effectively. Timelines vary based on season, price point, and local inventory. 

Look for an agent with strong market knowledge, a proven marketing strategy, excellent communication, and a track record of successful sales in your area. Trust, experience, and professionalism matter. 

Preparation includes decluttering, cleaning, minor repairs, professional photos, staging, and setting the right price. A skilled agent will guide you through every step to ensure your home shines. 

Sellers should expect transfer taxes, attorney fees, potential HOA fees, commission, and adjustments for property taxes or utilities. Your agent can provide a clear net sheet so you know your expected proceeds.
