Questions
Seller FAQs
How do you price my home?
Michael prepares a comparative market analysis using recent comparable sales, current competing listings, and the specific characteristics of your home and neighborhood. The goal is a data-driven price that attracts serious buyers quickly while protecting your net proceeds, not an inflated number that leads to price cuts later.
What does it cost to sell my home?
Selling costs typically include the real estate commission and standard closing costs such as attorney fees and conveyance taxes, which vary between Connecticut and New York. Michael will walk you through a clear, personalized net-sheet estimate up front so you know exactly what to expect before you list.
How long will it take to sell?
Time on market depends on price, condition, location, and current demand in your specific town. A well-priced, well-presented home in Northern Westchester often moves quickly. Michael will give you a realistic timeline based on live data for your sub-market during your consultation.
Why list with a Sotheby's International Realty agent?
Sotheby's International Realty pairs trusted local expertise with a global marketing platform, exposing your home to qualified, high-intent buyers well beyond the local MLS. Combined with Michael's pricing discipline and brand-level presentation, that reach helps your home sell for the best price the market will support.
