Seller Frequently Asked Questions

At True North Group, we use comprehensive market analysis and advanced data tools to assess your property's value. We consider recent sales, market trends, and your property's unique features to recommend a competitive listing price that maximizes your return while attracting serious buyers.

​Small upgrades can make a big difference! Our team will provide personalized advice, from decluttering and staging to making key repairs or cosmetic updates. We focus on improvements that yield the highest return on investment and attract potential buyers.

​Staging can greatly impact how quickly your home sells and the price you receive. We offer professional staging consultations, virtual staging options, and can advise on how to best present your home. Proper staging allows potential buyers to envision themselves in your space, which often leads to faster sales.

​ Our marketing strategy is extremely robust, including digital and non-digital marketing efforts, and is multi-faceted and customized for each property. We use a combination of traditional and digital channels, including professional photography, video tours, virtual reality experiences, targeted online advertising, social media promotion, and MLS listings. We ensure your property gets maximum exposure to the right audience.

​Typical costs include agent commissions, closing fees, repairs, and potential staging costs. We will provide a detailed breakdown upfront so you can plan accordingly. Our goal is to help you understand and minimize any expenses while ensuring a smooth transaction.

​If your property doesn’t sell as quickly as anticipated, we’ll review the feedback from showings, adjust the pricing strategy if necessary, and enhance marketing efforts. We work closely with you to adapt to market changes and buyer responses, ensuring your property is well-positioned for success.

​ We coordinate all showings and open houses around your schedule to minimize disruptions. You’ll receive ample notice, and we’ll handle all aspects of the process, including following up with potential buyers and gathering feedback to keep you informed.

​Once you receive an offer, True North Group will help you review it in detail, considering both the price and the terms. We’ll negotiate on your behalf to ensure the best possible outcome, guiding you through counteroffers and closing the deal.

​After accepting an offer, the closing process involves inspections, appraisals, and final paperwork. We will coordinate with all parties involved, including title companies and buyers' agents, to ensure everything proceeds smoothly. Our team will keep you informed at every step to ensure a successful and stress-free closing.

​Yes, you can still sell your property if you have a mortgage. The outstanding mortgage balance will be paid off at closing from the proceeds of the sale. We’ll work with you and the lender to ensure all necessary steps are taken care of seamlessly.

​It depends on your unique situation. Selling before buying can give you more flexibility and negotiating power for your next home. However, there are strategies to handle both simultaneously, such as contingent offers or bridge loans. We will guide you through the options to find the best approach for your goals.
