## Seller services
We review comparable sales and competing listings, recommend pricing and preparation, coordinate the agreed media scope, position eligible listings in the MLS, contact relevant buyer agents, review feedback and negotiate offers and closing terms.
A comparative market analysis is an estimate, not an appraisal or a guarantee of sale price.
We discuss the seller's next purchase, relocation and possible occupancy arrangements where appropriate. Terms require agreement and documentation. Attorneys and tax advisors handle legal and tax advice.

## First step
Request a private seller strategy review at https://homesprofessional.com/sell#contact or contact Carlos on U.S. WhatsApp. Share the property address, contact details, timing and priorities. Carlos reviews the information and contacts you to arrange the conversation. No fee for the review and no listing commitment.

## Limits
MLS visibility, syndication and referral reach depend on property eligibility, applicable rules, brokerage approval and participating channels. No guaranteed placement, agent attention, inquiries, referrals, price, sale or closing timeline. Current figures and claims must be checked against the dated sources on the relevant page.

## How the seller review informs the listing
1. Review the property's location, condition, competing inventory and available comparable sales.
2. Discuss an asking-price range, preparation priorities, likely buyer needs and estimated proceeds.
3. Agree the scope of representation, media and marketing before launch.
4. Coordinate eligible MLS positioning, relevant buyer-agent outreach and inquiry follow-up.
5. Review feedback and competing inventory together; discuss evidence-based adjustments.
6. Evaluate offers, financing, contingencies, inspection responses, closing timing and transition terms with the appropriate professionals.

## Evidence boundaries
A verified client review describes a negotiated seven-month post-occupancy arrangement for a Weston seller. It is a client-reported example, not contract documentation or a promise that another seller can obtain those terms. It does not establish claims about escrow deposits, avoided loans or guaranteed moving arrangements.
For market statistics, use the reporting period and primary-source links displayed on the market-data page rather than treating historical medians as today's property values.
For legal or tax topics, use the relevant official source and the client's qualified advisor. Website guides are general information.

## Transaction topics sellers ask about
General information only. Rules change and depend on each owner's facts; attorneys and tax advisors handle legal and tax advice. Each topic links to the dated journal guide.

### 1031 like-kind exchange (investment property)
- Applies to real property held for investment or business use, not a primary residence.
- In a typical delayed exchange, replacement property is generally identified within 45 days of the transfer and received within 180 days or by the tax-return due date, whichever comes first.
- The seller cannot take control of the proceeds; a qualified intermediary is commonly engaged before the relinquished property closes.

### Florida homestead portability (Save Our Homes)
- A Florida homeowner may be able to transfer accumulated Save Our Homes assessment difference to a new Florida homestead, up to $500,000, when the new homestead is established within three tax years of leaving the prior one.
- Portability is requested on Form DR-501T, filed with the county property appraiser alongside the new homestead application (DR-501).
- Source: Florida Department of Revenue and the county property appraiser. Guide: https://homesprofessional.com/journal/florida-homestead-portability-benefits-2026

### FIRPTA withholding (foreign sellers)
- When a foreign person sells a U.S. real property interest, the buyer is generally required to withhold 15 percent of the amount realized, with reduced-rate and exemption conditions tied to price and the buyer's residential use.
- A seller may apply for a withholding certificate on IRS Form 8288-B, filed no later than the date of transfer to be useful.
- Withholding is not the final tax; the closing agent, a tax advisor and the seller coordinate it. Carlos coordinates timing with those professionals and does not give tax advice.
- Source: Internal Revenue Code §1445 and IRS FIRPTA guidance. Guide: https://homesprofessional.com/journal/firpta-withholding-foreign-seller-south-florida-2026

### Post-closing occupancy by the seller
- A seller may negotiate to remain in the property for an agreed period after closing. Terms such as duration, occupancy charge, deposit or holdback, insurance and condition at move-out require written agreement between the parties and review by their advisors.
- Lender occupancy rules and insurance can limit what a buyer may agree to. No particular term is available to every seller.
