Seller services

Our sellers have enough concerns when preparing their home for market and planning their move to a new home. Quaid & Rooney handles a variety of tasks and details to make sure that your real estate property is properly evaluated, priced, marketed, negotiated and carried to closing.

Research & home pricing

We prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA) using current sales data and our knowledge of local market trends and buyers' expectations. This helps you understand your property’s value and set a competitive listing price. We want the most for your property with the fewest number of concessions. As property valuation experts, we’ll guide you through the final pricing decision.

Marketing strategy

Quaid & Rooney has crafted marketing plans for nearly every type of residential property in both Chicago and suburban real estate markets.

Home evaluation & improvements

Our agents will conduct a thorough home evaluation to assess your home’s condition and how it stands up against competition. We will also recommend improvements to increase home value and marketability.

Market updates

As market conditions change, our agents will provide you with market updates regarding the supply/demand ratio. Behind the scenes, we are continuously monitoring market activity and trends.

Inspections & repair negotiations

Home inspections often result in a number of costly fixes at the seller’s expense. Quaid & Rooney will work with you to ensure that negotiations are fair and amicable, without costing you the deal.
