Sell Your Southern Maryland Home

Plan for agent commission, Maryland transfer and recordation taxes (often split between buyer and seller), your remaining mortgage payoff, and any agreed repairs or closing cost credits. I'll walk through your specific net proceeds before you ever sign a listing agreement.

It depends on the repair and the buyer pool. Cosmetic fixes (paint, decluttering, deep cleaning) almost always pay for themselves. Bigger structural items are more case-by-case; sometimes pricing to reflect the work needed nets you more than paying for it upfront. I'll help you figure out which is which for your home.

Expired listings usually come down to one of three things: pricing that didn't match the market, marketing that didn't reach enough buyers, or presentation that didn't show the home at its best. I'll give you an honest read on which of those happened and a plan to fix it before relisting.

Yes, Maryland doesn't require a listing agent to sell your home. FSBO sellers typically take on their own pricing research, marketing, showings, negotiation, and contract paperwork without professional representation. Many find it's more time and risk than expected, especially around disclosures and negotiation; happy to talk through what that would actually look like for your property.
