How Do I Get My Home Ready to Sell?
The professionals at Nectar Realty can help you accomplish the stressful behind-the-scenes work so you feel ready to sell. Though every home has different needs, there are a few tasks that nearly everyone should consider before listing their home:
- Make any possible repairs
- Clean all areas extensively
- Remove unnecessary clutter
- De-personalize the main living areas
- Invest in high-quality photos
- Hide your valuables prior to showings
How Do You Figure Out the Value of My Home?
Your real estate agent and a professional home appraiser will consult with a wide range of comparable sales to determine the accurate value of your home. After comparing your home to similar homes that have sold and are currently listed for sale nearby, we will come up with a possible value. Our initial evaluation will take the following factors, among others, into account to accurately compare your home to others:
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of bathrooms
- Square footage
- Amenities
- Age and condition
- Homestyle
- Size and desirability of the lot
- The desirability of the surrounding areas

Should I Buy or Rent a Home?
The answer to this question is completely dependent on your unique circumstances and financial situation. We often recommend buying a home if you feel prepared for the time commitment and maintenance responsibilities. Our agents would be happy to provide more detailed advice after learning more about you.
How Many Homes Should I View Before Buying One?
Though the average buyer looks at around ten homes before closing on one, there is no set number that you should aim for. Every situation is unique, and you should consider as many homes as you need to in order to feel comfortable. Our realtors can help you navigate your options and help you find “the one.”
Is There a Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and Realtor?
Real estate agents are licensed professionals that help people buy, sell, and rent homes through a sponsoring brokerage firm. Realtors are real estate agents that have become members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This association requires its members to adhere to a strict code of ethics. Approximately half of all real estate agents in the United States are considered realtors.
Can I Use Real Estate Websites to Set the Price for My Home?
We do not recommend consulting online price generators to set the price of your home. There is a wide range of critical factors that these algorithms do not take into account. It would be highly beneficial to set your home’s price with the help of a real estate agent that truly understands your unique situation.
