Thinking, “I want to sell my house in Fort Lauderdale”? Start with your home’s market position, your timing, and the costs and steps involved. Paul Hessing can help you frame the questions that lead to a property-specific plan.
WHAT IS MY HOME WORTH?

What goes into
selling your home?
Prepare the property
Talk through cleaning, decluttering, photographs, repairs, and home staging options before committing to spending. Prioritize a presentation plan that fits your property and budget.
Agree on a marketing plan
Discuss listing presentation, property photography, online exposure, showing arrangements, and communication. Confirm the services and representation terms before listing.
Understand offers & the closing process
Compare the full offer: price, financing, contingencies, requested credits, and timing. Ask your agent and closing professionals about the responsibilities and dates for your transaction.

SOUTH FLORIDA HOME SELLER QUESTIONS
Know what to ask
before you list.
How long will it take to sell my house?+
Timing depends on pricing, condition, location, current competition, buyer demand, and the terms of a particular offer. Ask Paul to review relevant recent sales and current listings with you. No selling date or price is guaranteed.
Should I make repairs or sell my home as-is?+
Start with the property’s condition and your budget. Discuss likely buyer concerns and the scope and cost of proposed work before choosing a preparation plan. An as-is sale still needs a clear discussion of the contract, disclosures, and buyer review with the appropriate professionals.
Can I sell a condo or buy another home at the same time?+
Discuss association documents, access, property preparation, financing, and the connection between your sale and next purchase early. Explain any move-out or move-in dates that affect your decisions so the transactions can be planned together.
