Selling
Should I sell this property, and for how much?
Selling is decided by two numbers most owners never see side by side: what the property will realistically close at, and what you keep after payoff, commissions, transfer taxes, concessions and repairs.
Each question below is answered plainly, with the calculator that produces the number. For a specific address, we assemble the comparable sales and condition evidence behind it rather than handing you an automated estimate.
- What this is
- The selling decision ecosystem — what the property is worth, what you would keep, what to fix first, and whether selling beats holding.
- Who it is for
- Owners deciding whether to list, how to price, what to repair first, or whether keeping the property as a rental is the better outcome.
- The problem
- Sellers price from what they need rather than from what the market has paid, and they compare a sale price against a purchase price instead of against net proceeds. Both errors are expensive and both are avoidable.
- What happens next
- Price the decision here, then request a review of the property so the estimate becomes an evidence-backed recommendation with the comparable sales behind it.
How should I price my house?
Price from closed sales of genuinely comparable homes in the last three to six months, adjusted for condition and size — then price at, not above, the top of that supported range. Overpricing costs more than it gains, because the largest share of buyer attention arrives in the first two weeks.

For one specific address
We assemble the comparable closings for your address, adjust for condition, and give you a supported range with the reasoning shown rather than a single algorithmic number.
Build Property Intelligence™ →What will I actually keep at closing?
Net proceeds are the sale price minus loan payoff, commissions, transfer and recording taxes, prorated property taxes, concessions, and any repairs you agree to. The gap between price and proceeds is usually eight to ten percent of the sale.

For one specific address
For your address we use the county's real transfer tax and tax proration schedule rather than a generic percentage.
Build Property Intelligence™ →What should I repair before listing?
Fix what a buyer's inspector will find and a lender will require — active leaks, safety items, failing systems. Cosmetic work pays only where it is visible in the first photographs and the first ten feet inside the door.
Understand the method
Run the numbers
For one specific address
A pre-listing review prices the condition findings for your property and separates the repairs that protect the sale from the ones that only spend money.
Build Property Intelligence™ →Should I sell or keep it as a rental?
Compare the net proceeds you would receive today, invested elsewhere, against the total return of keeping it — cash flow, principal paydown and appreciation, minus the real cost of being a landlord. Keeping wins more often than sellers assume, but only when the property genuinely cash flows.

For one specific address
Property Intelligence runs both paths for the same address with the same verified inputs, so the comparison is like for like.
