Selling Your Home in Chattanooga, TN & North Georgia
When you list with Sabrena Smedley, you get more than a sign in the yard. With 15 years of experience in the Chattanooga market, Sabrena builds a marketing plan around your home — not a template — to attract the right buyers and get you the best possible outcome.
Know Your Goals Before You List
Selling well starts with knowing what matters most to you: the highest price, the fastest closing, or the fewest headaches along the way. Sometimes a quicker closing with fewer contingencies is worth more than a slightly higher offer. Talking through your priorities with Sabrena upfront helps set realistic expectations and a pricing strategy that fits your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the right listing price?
A: Pricing is based on recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your home's condition and features. Price it right from day one, and you avoid the momentum loss that comes with sitting on the market too long.
Q: How do I choose the right agent?
A: Look for someone with deep knowledge of your specific neighborhood, a clear marketing plan, and a track record of results — not just a sign in the yard.
Q: Should I sell my home myself (For Sale By Owner)?
A: FSBO can save on commission, but it also means handling pricing, marketing, negotiations, and paperwork on your own — often at a real cost in time, exposure, and final sale price.
Q: How do I get the highest price in the shortest time?
A: Strong pricing, professional presentation (photos and staging), and broad marketing exposure all work together. Cutting corners on any one of these usually costs you in the others.
Q: What happens during the buyer's home inspection?
A: The buyer's inspector will assess the home's condition, and any issues found may lead to a request for repairs or a price adjustment. Being prepared for this conversation in advance keeps the deal on track.
