tranrobert+FollowWant to save on capital gains tax when selling your home?Selling a house can be exciting, but the taxes can sting—especially if you don’t plan ahead. Did you know that if you sell your home within a year, your capital gains tax will be much higher? But don’t worry! If you’ve lived in your home for at least two years, you could qualify for up to $500K in tax exclusions (for married couples). And if you’ve owned it for over a year, the tax rate drops significantly! Be smart, plan ahead, and time your sale to keep more of your profits. #TaxTips #HomeSelling #RealEstateSavings326Share
Melissa Becker+Followsold our Texas home without an agent 🎉We just sold our 40-year-old Texas home—by ourselves. No agent. Yes, in this market. It had an 8/10 school rating, foundation issues, and still closed in 3 days. We listed on FSBO.com (paid $400 for MLS exposure), uploaded phone pics, filled out disclosures, and used a smart lock for self-guided tours. Tons of agents called, but we made it work. Saved 3% on agent fees and learned a ton. If you're not a first-time buyer or seller, honestly—try it. It’s way more doable than you'd think. #sellbyowner #realestatetips #homeselling10Share
christopherbarton+FollowI sold my house to zillow and won bigPurchased our SoCal home for $595k in 2023, but needed more space for our growing family. Zillow initially offered $785k, and after inspection finalized at $775k with zero repair costs. Their fees were minimal - just 0.9% service charge and $4.5k closing costs. Way better than our realtor's suggestion to list at $710k with higher commissions. Yes, the escrow team's communication was spotty, but the incredible offer made it worth it. The entire process took just 14 days! Zillow's aggressive buying strategy worked in our favor - they're clearly focused on gaining market share. #zillow #realestate #homeselling236Share

davenportmeghan+Follow5 Home Features That Sell Like HotcakesThinking about selling your house? Here’s the inside scoop: homes that are move-in ready, energy-efficient, have a home office, modern kitchens/bathrooms, or sweet outdoor spaces are flying off the market. Buyers want homes they can settle into right away—no fixer-uppers, please! The big shift? Energy-saving gadgets and dedicated workspaces are now must-haves, not just nice-to-haves. If your place checks these boxes, you could be looking at a quick sale (and maybe a bidding war). #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling #MarketTrends #MoneyHacks #HomeImprovement #RealEstate457Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowHome Sellers Still Winning, But Not Like 2022Thinking about cashing out on your house? Sellers are still making good money, but those wild profits from a couple years ago are cooling off. The average home sale profit dropped a bit this spring, especially in some Florida and California cities. But don’t panic—most sellers are still pocketing more than before the pandemic. If you’re waiting for the best time to sell, summer might bring a little more heat to your bottom line. #RealEstate #HomeSelling #MoneyTalk #MarketTrends00Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowWould You Sell Your Family’s Lucky House?Ever thought about selling a family home packed with memories? RHOM’s Marysol Patton just listed her late mom Elsa’s Miami mansion for $4.95M. She waited years, saying the house was a magnet for good vibes and even celebrities (Tennessee Williams typed on the balcony!). For buyers, it’s not just a fancy pad with a boat dock—it’s a shot at inheriting some of that legendary luck. Would you let go, or hold on for the good juju? #RealEstate #MiamiLife #CelebrityHomes #MoneyMoves #HomeSelling20Share
Samantha Welch+FollowZillow vs. Compass: Who Gets to List Your Home?Grab your coffee—real estate drama is brewing! Zillow and Compass are duking it out over how homes get listed online. Zillow wants all homes to be visible to everyone, while Compass is pushing for more private, office-only listings. Why does it matter? If you’re selling, it could mean your home is either seen by everyone or just a select few. More eyes might mean a faster sale, but some agents say private listings give sellers more control. Either way, your next move could be shaped by this showdown! #RealEstate #HomeSelling #Zillow #Compass #MarketTrends72Share
Samantha Welch+FollowThinking of Selling? Now’s Your Sweet SpotHeads up, home sellers! This week is basically the Super Bowl for listing your house—tons of buyers are out, prices are up, and there’s less competition. But don’t get too comfy: mortgage rates just jumped again, and new tariffs could make homes pricier to build (and rent). If you’ve been on the fence, this might be your best shot before things get trickier. Even if you’re not chasing the market, life changes mean people are still moving, no matter the rates. #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling #MortgageRates #Tariffs #MarketWatch #RealEstate70Share
