Listing Strategy That Wins

Local Expertise

In Knoxville, school zoning, commute routes, and proximity to downtown carry real weight. I fold those specifics into your listing plan and coordinate early with the inspector and title company so timing stays clean. 

Property Presentation

Light, layout, and curb appeal drive tours. We’ll focus on small fixes, a deep clean, and front-of-house touches so photos sell the flow buyers want in single-family homes.

Pricing & Exposure

Start where buyer alerts already ping: nearest comps with similar square footage and condition. Price for week-one showings, spotlight outdoor space, then let MLS syndication carry the reach while geo-targeted ads catch relocation traffic. I also track new development news to frame demand.

Offer Management

Headline price isn’t the whole story. Pre-approval strength, appraisal terms, inspection timing, and rent-back options can change your net. I map the trade-offs in plain language so the best path is obvious.

Closing

Once under contract, we keep momentum - inspections scheduled fast, appraisal docs ready, title cleared early. I stay close to the lender, inspector, and title company so you’re not chasing paperwork in the final week.

What Does It Cost to Sell a Home in Knoxville?

In Tennessee, total selling expenses usually land around 8%-10%. That range covers all services and fees, including agent commissions and routine closing costs.

Tennessee collects a state real estate transfer tax. You may also see title insurance, escrow services, prorated property taxes, possible HOA items, and optional prep like staging, light repairs, or a deep clean.

We’ll put together a simple net sheet that lists every cost line by line, then decide whether offering a buyer credit or completing repairs will keep your timeline on track.
