For Sellers
Ready to hit the market?
Professional marketing, a trusted network, and the negotiating experience to get you the best price, on your timeline.
Sellers
Sellers deserve more than a sign in the yard.
We bring real strategy and we sweat every detail so you don't have to. That starts with an honest number: what your home is worth today, in this market, on your street, rather than what would be pleasant to hear.
Then a plan for the work worth doing before it lists, the work that isn't, and a launch that makes your first week on the market your strongest one.

Marketing
How your home gets in front of the right buyers
Your home deserves to be shown at its best, and then shown to the people actually in the market for it. Every listing gets the whole of this:
- Professional photography and a virtual tour, shot before the first showing
- Staging guidance from an agent with a professional interior design background
- Broker open houses that put your home in front of agents who already have buyers
- Syndication to the Triad MLS and the major national listing sites
- Social and direct mail aimed at this market, not a generic mailing list
- Our own network of agents, brokers, neighbors and past clients across the Triad
How it works
From first walk-through to closing day
Every seller goes through the same four steps with us, and we're standing next to you at each one.
Walk the house
We come see it in person. What buyers will notice first, what's worth fixing, and what to leave exactly as it is.
Price it honestly
Recent comparable sales, what you're competing against right now, and a straight recommendation, including when the answer is to wait.
Prep and launch
Staging, photography, and a coordinated launch across the MLS, the listing sites, and our own network, all in the same week.
Negotiate and close
Offers, repair requests, appraisal, and paperwork. We handle the back-and-forth and keep you posted the whole way through.
Some things you should know
Nearly nine in ten of our clients come back, or send someone who did.
Career totals for our agents, including the work they did before Village Realty. Since 2016 the firm itself has closed 682 homes and $347.7 million in volume.
Questions sellers actually ask
What is my home actually worth?
The only honest answer starts with seeing it. We'll pull recent comparable sales on your street and in your neighborhood, walk the house with you, and give you a range with the reasoning behind it, including what would move you toward the top of it.
There's no charge and no obligation to list with us at the end of it.
What should I fix before listing?
Usually less than you'd think. The projects worth doing aren't always the expensive ones, and the right answer depends on your house, your price point, and what buyers are comparing it against.
We'll walk it with you and say honestly which ones we'd do and which we'd leave. Margo on our team came to real estate from interior design, so that advice is more specific than “tidy up.”
What does selling a home actually cost?
There's more to it than our fee. Seller-paid closing costs, anything you agree to after the inspection, and paying off your existing loan all come out of the total.
Our side of it will be in writing before you list, with nothing added later. And before you accept any offer, we'll build you a net sheet: the number that actually lands in your account, not the one on the sign.
How long will it take to sell?
It depends on your price point and your neighborhood, and anyone who gives you a number before seeing the house is guessing. We'll give you a realistic window for your street before you list, and revisit it with you every week you're on the market.
Can you help me buy at the same time?
Yes, and it's most of what we do. We'll sequence the sale and the purchase so you're not carrying two mortgages or moving twice. Here's how we work with buyers.
