WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HOME:  Are you wondering if your home would be best for a family or for a builder?  What are the benefits to you of each outcome?  As one of the top realtors in Needham, I live and work here in Needham with both families and builders and can help you analyze what is best for you and your home. 

  • DIRECT TO BUILDER SALE - I have a special process/deal for you if we decide that selling to a builder is right for you. I have a list of over 30 builders.  I will put together a package of info on your home and get it to the builders.  Delivering multiple offers will assure you get the best price for your home.  You will love the realtor fee you pay in this situation.  One of the biggest benefits in these days of COVID is that you won’t have to worry about a bunch of people coming through your home.
  • MLS LISTING SALE – If you have updated your home along the way (heating/AC, roof, kitchen, baths, windows, etc) then it is probably worth more to a family than a builder. I can visit with you to answer this question.  I will also work with you to develop a short list of small projects that you can do that will yield a big return when offers start coming in.  Then, my assistant and I will utilize our detailed process to list your home and get it to closure.

 

With the price of Needham homes skyrocketing, you might want to think about the value of your home.  Let me be there to help.  😊
