Sell Your Bakersfield Home for Top Dollar

Typical costs include real estate commission (usually 5-6% split between buyer's and seller's agents), title insurance, escrow fees, and any repairs or credits negotiated during inspections. I'll provide you with a detailed net proceeds estimate so you know exactly what to expect from your Bakersfield home sale.

The timeline varies based on market conditions, pricing, and property condition. In the current Bakersfield market, well-priced homes can receive offers within days to a few weeks. After accepting an offer, closing typically takes 30-45 days. I'll give you realistic expectations based on your specific property and current Kern County market conditions.

It depends on the repair and the Bakersfield market. Some improvements offer great ROI, while others won't increase your sale price enough to justify the cost. I'll walk through your home and recommend which repairs to make, which to negotiate credit for, and which to skip. My goal is to maximize your net proceeds.

Yes! Most Bakersfield sellers still have a mortgage when they sell. At closing, your mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds, and you receive the remaining equity. If you owe more than your home is worth, we can discuss options like a short sale. I'll help you understand your equity position and what to expect.

If your Bakersfield home isn't getting showings or offers, we'll reassess. This usually means adjusting the price, improving staging or marketing, or addressing property concerns. I stay actively involved and will recommend strategy changes to get your home sold. You're never stuck with a listing that's not working.

No, and it's actually better if you're not home during showings. Buyers feel more comfortable exploring and discussing the property freely when the seller isn't present. I'll coordinate all showings, be available to answer buyer questions, and provide you with feedback after each showing.
