The Home Selling Process

Here is what to expect when you sell with Dockside Realty, from our first conversation to closing day.

1. Pricing consultation

We review recent sales, active competition, and your property’s features to recommend a list price. Start with a free home value estimate.

2. Prepare the property

Small repairs, a deep clean, and decluttering go a long way. See Preparing Your Home to Sell. If the home is a vacation rental, see Selling a Vacation Rental.

3. Disclosures and documents

Florida sellers must disclose known facts that materially affect a property’s value, and sellers now also provide a written flood disclosure. We will also gather HOA or condo documents, surveys, permits, and any inspection or insurance reports you already have.

4. Photography and listing

Your property is photographed, listed on the MLS and our website, and shared with agents and buyers across the region.

5. Showings and offers

We schedule showings around your calendar, review every offer with you, and negotiate price, terms, and timing.

6. Inspections, appraisal, and closing

Once under contract, the buyer typically has an inspection period and, if financing, an appraisal. We help you respond to repair requests and keep everything on track with the title company through closing.
