Consider Three Important Factors Before Selling Your Louisville Home
- The true costs: Yes, there are agent commissions involved. But when you work with Noe Group, you will be partnering with Derby City experts who will protect your best interests. Plus, if you try to sell your home yourself you’ll have to pay for things like signage, online ads, photography, and targeted marketing. We do all of that for you!
- Your time commitment: Do you want to be heavily involved in all aspects of selling the house? From marketing to taking calls from buyers, to showing the house, doing your own open house, to setting up the escrow, and more? Just calculate what your time and energy are worth and where you should best focus your time. If you’d rather not hassle with the details of your house sale, work with a trusted agent like Noe Group.
- The “experience factor”: There are hangups that can throw your closing off or cost you thousands. When you work with Noe Group, we help you avoid those issues and deal with them for you.
