Common questions from San Mateo sellers
Should I fix things up before I sell?
Sometimes. Paint, small repairs and a good cleaning usually pay for themselves. Big remodels often don't. Your agent can tell you which fixes make sense for your home and which to skip.
I inherited a home. Can I still sell it?
Usually yes, though if the home is in probate the court process affects timing and paperwork. Your agent can explain the steps. For legal and tax questions, talk to an attorney or tax advisor.
Can I sell while tenants live there?
Yes, but tenants have rights under California law and local rules, including notice before showings. Plan for this early.
Do I have to talk on the phone?
No. Many sellers prefer email, and that's fine. Leave the phone field blank and we'll reply by email.
