Buyers are drawn to Shelby County for its excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, proximity to Louisville, and small-town charm. Homes that highlight these benefits—along with modern updates, good curb appeal, and competitive pricing—tend to sell quickly.
Whether you're selling a historic home in downtown Shelbyville, a farm property in the county, or a family home in one of our newer subdivisions, I have the local expertise to position your property for success.
Typical seller costs in Shelbyville include a 5-6% real estate commission (split between buyer and seller agents), title insurance, transfer taxes, and any agreed-upon repairs. Most sellers can expect to pay 6-8% of the sale price in total closing costs.
The average time to sell a home in Shelby County is 30-60 days, depending on price, condition, and market conditions. Well-priced homes in good condition often receive offers within the first two weeks.
Start with decluttering and deep cleaning. Make necessary repairs, especially to major systems. Consider fresh paint in neutral colors, improve curb appeal, and stage key rooms. Professional photos are essential for online listings.
Not necessarily. You can sell as-is, but addressing major issues often results in a higher sale price. I can help you determine which repairs will provide the best return on investment and which can be negotiated with buyers.
Pricing requires a comparative market analysis (CMA) that looks at recently sold homes similar to yours in Shelby County. I provide a detailed CMA that considers your home's condition, location, upgrades, and current market trends to determine the optimal listing price.
You'll need the deed, mortgage payoff information, property tax records, HOA documents (if applicable), and disclosure forms. I'll guide you through all required paperwork and coordinate with the title company to ensure a smooth closing.
Yes. Most home sales involve paying off the existing mortgage at closing. As long as your home's value exceeds what you owe, you can sell. If you're underwater, we can explore options like short sales or waiting for equity to build.
After accepting an offer, the buyer typically orders a home inspection. An inspector examines the property's condition, including structure, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. Buyers may request repairs or credits based on the findings. I'll help you navigate any inspection issues.
