How Long Does It Take To List My House?

Question: How long does it take to list a house?

Answer: About 2 minutes if you can sign your name several times quickly.  I’ll be right over.

But seriously folks…

Usually, it takes me about a week to get everything I need prepared.  If you need to make repairs or paint or otherwise do sprucing, then tack on about 3-4 days once you’re all done for me to get my photographer in there.

I don’t like my listings to hit MLS without complete information and fabulous pictures.  I want to be able to answer questions about your property from day one, so I get everything verified and prepared before the listing is entered.  Once your listings hits MLS, I’m uploading pictures usually within minutes so no one sees it without photos - only once chance to make a first impression!  I want to have my brochures ready and in the house and waiting for that first potential buyer.  I want your blog page to go live as soon as the listing does.  These things take a little time to prepare.

So if the house doesn’t need any cleaning or painting or sprucing?  It takes about a week to go from you signing the listing agreement at our listing appointment to your home being for sale and in the Tucson MLS.  It could go a couple days one way or the other, depending on my photographer’s schedule.  Trust me, he’s worth waiting for!
