The first decision
Agent or Cash Buyer?
Search for “sell my house” in Clermont and most of what you see first are cash-buyer ads. Both routes are legal and both can work. They solve different problems.
Listing with an agent
Your home goes on the open market through the MLS, buyers compete for it, and you choose which offer to take. It usually takes longer, needs showings, and the commission is set in a listing agreement you sign.
Selling to a cash buyer
A company or investor makes its own offer, often for the home as it stands, and can close on a date you agree. The price usually leaves room for their repairs, costs and profit.
The question is what matters more to you: the highest price the open market will pay, or speed and the least effort. If a cash offer is on the table, get it in writing, read every fee and condition, and compare the net figure with what similar homes nearby have sold for.
Kris can walk you through both and show you the recent nearby sales so you can compare like for like.
Step by step
How Selling with an Agent Works
Most Central Florida sales follow the same general path from the first call to the closing table. Your contract sets the exact dates.
First conversation
You talk about the home, your timing and where you are headed next. Nothing is signed at this stage.
Pricing review
The agent compares your home with recent nearby sales and the homes it will compete with, then suggests a list price range.
Listing agreement
You sign the brokerage's listing paperwork, which sets the price, the length of the listing and the commission.
Getting the home ready
Small repairs, cleaning, decluttering and sometimes staging. Then photos are taken for the listing.
On the market
The listing goes live on the MLS and the sites that draw from it. Showings and any open houses follow, with feedback passed back to you.
Offers and negotiation
You review each offer for price, financing, closing date and conditions, and can accept, counter or decline.
Inspection and appraisal
Most buyers inspect during an agreed period, and a lender usually orders an appraisal. Repair requests or price talks can come up here.
Closing
In Florida a title company or closing attorney handles the closing. The deed is signed, funds move, and the keys go to the buyer.

Questions
Questions about selling
Should I use an agent or a cash buyer?
An agent lists your home on the open market; a cash buyer makes its own offer to buy it, usually for less in exchange for speed. Kris can talk through both with you and show you recent nearby sales to compare.
What does Kris charge to sell my home?
Whatever the fee, it is written into the listing agreement before your home is listed.
How long will it take to sell?
No time is promised. For reference, Clermont homes sold after a median 48 days and Orlando homes after 52 days in the three months to August 2026 (Redfin).
Can Kris help if the house is empty?
His Zillow reviews include a 2018 Clermont seller whose vacant home Kris looked after while it was listed.
Can I sell if I already live in another state?
Yes. Kris's reviews include sellers who lived in New York and Texas. See selling from out of state for how it works.
