Preparing your home is crucial for making a great first impression. We recommend:

• Decluttering and depersonalizing your space.

• Making minor repairs and ensuring everything is in good working order.

• Enhancing curb appeal by tidying up your yard and exterior.

• Considering professional staging to showcase your home’s best features.

Our agents will provide you with a detailed checklist and offer personalized advice based on your property.

When your home is listed, potential buyers will want to view it either through scheduled showings or open houses. To make the process as seamless as possible, we’ll coordinate all showings and provide ample notice to you. Virtual tours can also be an option if you prefer fewer in-person visits.

For the best results, we recommend:

•  Keeping your home clean and presentable at all times.

•  Being flexible with showing times to accommodate more buyers.

•  Temporarily leaving your home during showings for privacy.

• Home inspection and any necessary repairs

• Appraisal ordered by the buyer’s lender

• Title and escrow arrangements

• Final walkthrough by the buyer

• Signing closing documents and transferring the title

The entire process can take 30 to 45 days, depending on the buyer’s financing.

• Real estate agent commission fees

• Closing costs, which can include title insurance, escrow fees, and more

• Repairs or improvements made to increase the home’s value

• Staging or professional photography (optional but recommended)

Your Dickson Realty agent will provide a Seller’s Net Sheet to estimate your potential costs and net proceeds.

The time it takes to sell a home varies depending on the market, price, and condition of your property. On average, homes in Northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to sell. We work hard to market your home and attract qualified buyers as quickly as possible.
