Sell My House in Waltham, MA

Thinking of moving on from your Waltham address? Buyers are lining up for homes in Waltham. Homes that look sharp and launch at the right price often draw multiple bids within days. I’m here to set that stage—pricing, prep, marketing, and negotiation—so you walk away with the strongest offer and a smooth closing.



Local Expertise

Work with an agent who walks your neighborhood every week. A seasoned Waltham pro knows which streets draw relocation buyers, how appraisers grade recent upgrades, and which local attractions make the neighborhood pitch irresistible—all while nudging your listing to the top of every search filter.



Property Presentation

A strategic clean-out, a touch of staging, and a front-door color that pops turn “nice place” into “need to see.” Add fresh mulch and tidy beds and you’ll convert drive-bys into Saturday showings.



Pricing & Exposure

A neighborhood-specific CMA pinpoints the price that shows up in every buyer’s search filter—high enough to protect your equity, sharp enough to spark immediate traffic. Professional photography, a guided 3-D tour, and a benefit-driven MLS write-up then I syndicate to Zillow, Redfin, and geo-targeted social ads the moment I hit “live.”



Offer Management

When offers land, I lay them out in plain language - price, contingencies, earnest money, timing - so the best path forward is obvious. Smart tweaks to closing dates, inspection credits, or appraisal gaps are negotiated to keep momentum strong and net proceeds high, while you focus on the move ahead.



Seamless Closing

My team and your attorney handle smoke certs, Title V (if needed), the final walk-through, and HUD statements, so you reach the closing table with keys in hand and no last-minute surprises.



Plan on total expenses falling between 8% and 11% of the final sale price, which includes real estate agent commission and a number of other expenses. Massachusetts collects a state transfer tax of $4.56 per $1,000. Legal work typically runs $1,100 to $1,500, while administrative items like title searches and recording fees add another $50 to $100. If the property has a septic system, a Title V inspection is about $800. You may also choose to invest in staging, pre-listing repairs, or moving services, which vary by scope.



• Median List Price: $899,000
• Year-over-Year Price Change: Flat
• Median Days on Market: 26

Buyer demand still outpaces supply, so well-priced single-family homes often draw multiple offers the first week.
