FAQs: Magnolia Woods Sellers

Q: Why do some homes sell $60K below list?
A: Overpricing kills momentum. Buyers today are educated. Price strategically from day one to capture urgency.

Q: How important is “no HOA”?
A: Huge. Many buyers actively seek it. We highlight this in all marketing.

Q: Will zero inventory help my sale?
A: Yes — but only with smart pricing. Overpricing negates the advantage.

Q: What’s the typical buyer mix?
A: Military families (~40%), local professionals (~35%), relocations (~25%).

Q: How does your 1% listing work?
A: You pay 1% to list (full service included) + buyer agent’s side (usually 2–2.5%). That’s 3–3.5% total, not 6%.

Q: What if my home needs updates?
A: 2014–2016 homes often need kitchen/bath refreshes. We recommend only ROI-positive updates.
