Sell Your House in St. Louis Without the Guesswork

It depends on your situation more than on the market. Across our last 111 listings the median time to go under contract was 5 days and 63% sold at or above asking, but those are our numbers across the region, not a forecast for your neighborhood. Tell us the address and we will show you what has actually sold near it in the last 90 days, and say plainly if waiting is the better call.

Professional photography, drone aerials, measured floor plans, video, a printed listing magazine, yard signage, social and email promotion to our own audience, staging strategy, pricing analysis, negotiation on every offer, and inspection and appraisal coordination. Every listing gets the full program regardless of price point. We'll discuss pricing with you once we have seen the home, because it depends on the property, the price point and what your sale needs.

Across our last 111 listings the median time to go under contract was 5 days, then typically 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to closing. We publish the median rather than the average because three long-running listings pull the average to 29 days while 30 of 33 sold within 10 days. As the seller, you can negotiate the timing that fits your move, whether that means closing quickly, choosing a later closing date or asking for flexible possession after closing.

111 listings over the last three years, and we represented 57 buyers in the last twelve months alone. 13 of those listings sold off market to our own buyers without ever reaching the open market, and those sellers appreciated the privacy of an off market sale.

We review all the data: recent comparable sales on your street and in your subdivision, the condition and updates specific to your home, and what is currently competing with you on the market. We also factor in your lot, views, amenities, school district, and how active the market is in your ZIP code. We don't give automated estimates. Automated valuations do not know that your kitchen was redone in 2023, or that your house backs to conservation land that'll never be developed, or that your neighborhood just redid the pool and sports courts.

It is the most common instinct and it usually costs you money. Getting the price right at the start is the whole game. We tell our clients it's better to price lower and let buyers show you how much more they're willing to pay over asking price rather than to price high and justify the price to hesitant buyers. A house priced above the market sits, and a house that has sat sells for less than one priced correctly on day one, because buyers read days on market as a signal that something is wrong. You only have one chance to launch publicly on the market, and once the house sits too long, buyers see it as an opportunity to get a discount.

We've worked with plenty of sellers with homes that need work they don't want to deal with. We can discuss the option of pricing below market value and offering an as-is sale to a buyer who is willing to do the work themselves. Sometimes the best approach is to offer a credit to a buyer and give them a little cash back at closing to help them feel better about taking on the repair work.

No, you don't have to. We will walk the house and tell you which repairs and cosmetic fixes return more than they cost and which do not. Plenty of homes sell as-is at a fair price. If you do want work done, we have a vetted network of contractors who can get your home in top shape before you list.
