Frequently Asked Questions - Raiders Landing

Q: How fast do homes really sell here?

A: Properly priced and presented Raiders Landing homes typically go under contract in 30-60 days. The key is pricing competitively from day one - this isn't a neighborhood where overpricing works. Military buyers know values and have options.

Q: What about all the new construction competition?

A: Actually an advantage. Your home offers immediate occupancy versus 6-8 month build times. Plus established landscaping, known neighbors, and proven build quality. We position these benefits clearly against new construction.

Q: Will other agents show my home with lower commission?

A: Yes. Your home appears in the MLS exactly like any other listing. We recommend competitive buyer agent compensation (2-2.5%) which keeps agents motivated. They see Raiders Landing, not commission rates.

Q: How do you handle VA appraisals and Tidewater?

A: We're VA experts. Pre-inspect for VA requirements, price appropriately for appraisal, respond quickly to Tidewater notices, and maintain strong lender relationships. Our Raiders Landing sales rarely hit VA snags.

Q: What updates are worth doing before selling?

A: In Raiders Landing: fresh paint, carpet cleaning, pressure washing, and minor landscaping give best ROI. Major updates rarely needed in homes this new. We provide a specific punch list after walkthrough.

Q: Can you handle remote/military PCS sales?

A: Absolutely. Video walkthroughs, digital signatures, POA closings - we handle military relocations weekly. Many clients complete entire sales from new duty stations. Your PCS doesn't have to complicate your sale.
