Our home valuations include the most up-to-date market statistics made by real people, not machines. To get your home valuated, please fill out the form above.

It’s important to compare your home with other homes which are the same or very similar square footage. Square footage is the primary consideration. Secondly, compare with the same type of home. For example, if your home is a ranch, you will want to compare it with other ranches. Next Compare the updates. If your property has updated countertops, flooring, master bath and stainless appliances, then you will want to choose those which have similar features. There are finer adjustments for decks, outdoor improvements, number of bathrooms, basements and pools for example, which can be tricky and a large number of variables have to be taken into consideration.

      In an era where instant gratification is as good as gold—there’s no faster way to lose the interest of today’s home buyer than by making them wait. Our team members are not only competitive, we’re passionate about finding every family their perfect home. That’s why we pride ourselves on fast response times, one-day listings, and in the majority of cases, same-day showings.

      Negotiating Offers

      There’s nothing more disheartening to a home seller than when their realtor presents them with an offer far below value. And while market fluctuations are not uncommon, it’s just as often a realtor who’d rather make a quick sell and move onto their next listing than dig in their heels and fight for what your home is actually worth.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      When is the best time to sell my home?

      People consistently buy homes year-round in Indianapolis. In short, the best time to sell your home is to get started today.

      Homes in Indianapolis are typically sold in 28 days or less.

      When working with Todd Cook Team, we guarantee your house gets sold.

      Your agent will guide you through each step of preparing your home for sale. You can also read about what to expect here.

      You’re required to disclose all information regarding material defects, especially those that affect any major home systems.

      If you’re like most people, yes—especially if you’re planning to apply the built-up equity in your current home to your new home’s down payment.

      Think of your list price as the goal you set before negotiating with buyers, and your sale price as the amount you actually receive after negotiation.

      Why is the assessed value different?

      Your home’s assessed value has nothing to do with its worth to potential buyers or ultimate market value. It is simply your local municipality’s assessed tax rate.

      Do yourself a favor and don’t. The figures generated from websites like Trulia and Zillow are reliably inaccurate and typically even outside the same ballpark. 

      A sale contingency is when a potential buyer submits an offer but first must sell their current home before they can complete the purchase.

      Using a realtor means your home makes it into the MLS database, expanding the number of buyers your listing can reach and significantly increasing the final sale price of your home.

      What seems like a good strategy at first glance will almost always result in a lower sale price.  This not only ensures your home stays on the market for longer, but once you inevitably have to lower the price, buyers and other agents will attribute it to a suspect reason.

      In most cases, the commission rate is 6% of the final sale price. For a breakdown of that number and the services it covers, your agent will be more than happy to answer any questions and address your concerns.
