Selling a Home in Rockville, MD with Jon Lahey
Jon Lahey leads The Fine Living Group at eXp Realty from our office in Rockville, Maryland. Our team helps Rockville homeowners understand what their home may sell for, prepare it for buyers, review offers and plan the move that comes next.
From pricing conversation to settlement
Reading comparable sales
We look at recent sales of homes similar to yours in size, age, condition, home type and location, plus what is active and under contract now. A condo is compared with condos in similar buildings, a townhome with townhomes, so the range you see reflects your actual competition.
Preparing the home
We walk the home with you and suggest which repairs, cleaning, decluttering or updates are worth considering before photos, and which are not. You decide what to do. If you want help paying for approved work, ask about our Fix Now Pay Later program and review its written terms.
Condo and townhome costs buyers will ask about
Buyers compare monthly ownership cost, not only price. Gather your current condo or HOA fee, what it covers, any special assessments, and the association documents early, because Maryland resale disclosure requirements and buyer financing can depend on them.
Launch and marketing
When the home is ready, we coordinate photography, video, the listing description and showings, and we share feedback with you as it comes in so you can adjust with real information.
Reviewing offers and terms
Price is one part of an offer. We lay out each offer side by side, including financing type, deposit, contingencies, appraisal language and settlement date, so you can choose the terms that fit your goals.
Coordinating your next move
If you are buying your next home, we plan both transactions together, including timing, possible rent-back or settlement dates, and questions to bring to your lender before you commit.
Details worth gathering before you list
Rockville has a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and condos, and buyers here often compare homes closely. Having these details ready can make showings and offer negotiations smoother:
- Condo or HOA fee, what it includes, and any approved or planned assessments.
- Association resale documents and how long they take to order.
- Ages of the roof, HVAC, water heater and major appliances, plus any permits for past work.
- Parking details: assigned spaces, garage, permits or street parking.
- Your preferred settlement timing and whether you need time after closing to move.
Disclosure and document rules can change. Confirm current requirements for your property with us and, where needed, a Maryland real estate attorney.
Frequently asked questions
How do you decide on a list price for a Rockville home?
We review recent comparable sales, active and pending homes of the same type nearby, and your home's condition and features. We share the range and our reasoning, and you make the final decision.
Should I renovate before selling?
Not always. Some repairs and cosmetic updates can help, and others will not return what they cost. We walk the home with you and talk through options before you spend money.
What should condo and townhome owners prepare?
Collect your association fee details, any special assessments, and the resale documents buyers will need. Ordering documents early helps avoid delays once you accept an offer.
Can you help me sell and buy at the same time?
Yes. We plan both transactions together and discuss timing, settlement dates and available team programs. Your lender should advise on financing for the purchase.
Who will handle my listing?
