Common questions
How long does it take to sell a home in Santa Cruz County?
It depends heavily on location. Homes in Watsonville and Monterey County have been selling in about 22 days, while parts of the city of Santa Cruz and the mountain communities have been taking considerably longer. Pricing correctly on day one matters more than any other factor.
How do you determine what my home is worth?
By comparing homes like yours that actually sold nearby in the last 60 to 90 days, then adjusting for your home's condition and for what buyers are doing this month. Online estimates are a starting point, not an answer. Reign Home prepares this valuation at no cost.
Should I make repairs before I list?
Usually some, not all. Small visible improvements like paint, lighting and landscaping tend to pay for themselves. Large renovations rarely do. Reign Home walks through every home with the seller before deciding what is worth doing.
Does home insurance affect my ability to sell in Santa Cruz County?
Yes, and increasingly so. If a home is in a fire zone, a buyer's ability to obtain insurance can stop a sale at the finish line. Sellers who get ahead of this, sometimes by obtaining insurance quotes before listing, run into far fewer problems.
What are your commission rates?
Commission is negotiable and depends on the property and the scope of work. Reign Home explains exactly what you are paying for and what it covers before you sign anything.
