What should we know before selling a home that is currently held in a family trust?
My siblings and I are looking to list our late parents' home in, but the title is currently held in a family trust. We are trying to understand the typical steps involved in transferring the title or if the trustee needs to handle the entire listing process. We want to make sure the paperwork is in order before we interview local real estate agents and start the marketing process.
How long will it take to sell my home in South Florida? 3 weeks in, tons of saves, almost no showing
We listed our Boynton Beach single family at $749,000 about three weeks ago. Zillow's showing around 2,100 views and 61 saves, but only 4 showings and zero offers. Photos are good, there's a video tour, and it's up on all the major sites, so I don't think marketing is the problem.nnMy agent keeps quoting the 95-day average around here and telling me to be patient. But the median days on market for Palm Beach County is closer to 59, and that gap feels like overpriced listings sitting forever dragging the average up.nnSo realistically, how long will it take to sell my home in South Florida if it's actually priced right? And does a pile of saves with almost no showings mean I'm already sitting above market?nnStill learning the selling side of this, appreciate any straight answers

How often should I expect updates from my real estate agent once my house is on the market?
Our home has been listed for two weeks, and while we have had a few showings, we have not heard much from our agent regarding feedback from potential buyers. We want to be proactive without being overbearing or checking in too frequently throughout the work week. What is the typical industry standard for communication frequency, and how do we set those boundaries early on to stay informed?

Fast Sell - Frisco, TX
Hello,nI want to sell my home quickly. Should I go with a listing agent or an iBuyer?
How can I negotiate repairs when a buyer asks for a large credit following the home inspection?
Our house is under contract, but the buyer's inspection report came back with a long list of minor issues and a couple of larger concerns regarding the older HVAC system. They are asking for a significant credit at closing or for us to hire licensed contractors to fix every item before the move-in date. We want to keep the deal moving forward without overspending on repairs that might not be strictly necessary for the sale.

Can I ask my listing agent to help with staging or do I need to hire a separate professional?
I’ve heard that staging can make a huge difference in how a home looks in photos and during open houses. I’m not sure if this is a service that most full-service agents provide as part of their marketing package or if I should expect to pay an outside consultant. I’d like to know what the typical range of staging support looks like when working with a professional real estate agent in a competitive suburban market.
Can I negotiate for a later closing date or a rent-back agreement with the buyer?
My family is currently in the process of building a new house, but the completion date has been pushed back by several weeks due to construction delays. We have a solid offer on our current home, but we need to ensure we have a place to stay until the new build is ready for move-in. I am wondering how common it is to ask a buyer to stay in the home for a month after the official closing date. What is the best way to bring this up during the initial negotiations so it doesn't complicate the sale?
