“Bob and Peggie Smolko were fantastic in helping my elderly parents sell their home in Williamsburg. Not only were they efficient and friendly but they went above and beyond the selling of our family home and helped my parents with a myriad of other details involving their move and relocation. My siblings and I are very grateful to them for everything they did to help us close the sale and get my parents moved. We would give them a rating of ten out of ten!”

What are some of your questions?
-
The assessed value is determined by the local government for tax purposes and may not always reflect a property's true market value. While it provides a baseline, buyers and sellers typically rely on the appraised value and current market conditions to set the selling price. As the top Williamsburg real estate team, we help sellers price their homes strategically to maximize value while ensuring buyers make informed decisions.
-
You can calculate your home equity by subtracting your remaining mortgage balance from your home’s current market value. For an accurate estimate, consider getting a home appraisal or consulting with us to assess recent sales in your neighborhood. Our team helps homeowners evaluate their equity and explore options for selling, refinancing, or leveraging their home’s value.
-
Sellers can expect closing costs to range from 6% to 10% of the home’s sale price, including agent commissions, title fees, transfer taxes, and prorated property taxes. Additional costs may include repairs, staging, or seller concessions depending on negotiations. As the top Williamsburg real estate team, we help sellers understand their estimated costs upfront and strategize to maximize their net proceeds.
-
Many sellers choose to stage their property because it helps create a more inviting space, highlights the home’s best features, and often leads to higher offers and faster sales. Professionally staged homes tend to attract more buyers by making it easier for them to visualize living in the space. We offer expert advice on staging strategies to help sellers maximize their home’s value and market appeal.
-
We have a network of trusted contractors, home inspectors, landscapers, and other vendors to assist with any necessary improvements before selling or buying a home. Whether you need minor repairs, renovations, or staging services, we connect our clients with reliable professionals to ensure their home is market-ready and positioned for top dollar.
