🏡 How to Choose the Right Realtor When You’re Ready to Sell

Selling a home isn’t just about putting up a “For Sale” sign — it’s about choosing the right realtor who knows how to maximize your property’s value and minimize your stress.

For many Central Valley homeowners, selling isn’t always easy. You might be dealing with repairs, outdated finishes, or tenants — or maybe your insurance company has already threatened to cancel coverage. That’s where the right realtor can make or break your outcome.

At Romine Group, we do more than list your property — we help you get it ready to sell, even if you don’t have the funds upfront.

🔍 What to Look for When Choosing a Realtor

When interviewing agents, here are a few key things every seller should ask:

1. Experience With Homes That Need Work

Most agents prefer “picture-perfect” listings. But if your home needs repairs, you need a realtor who knows how to market it as-is or help you get it market-ready without draining your savings.➡️ Franklin Romine has 15+ years of experience working with homes that require renovation, cleanup, or tenant transitions before listing.

2. Creative Solutions, Not Cookie-Cutter Sales

The best realtors aren’t afraid to get creative — offering seller repair programs, cash advances, or flexible timelines.➡️ At Romine Group, we’ve created our “Repair Now – Pay Later” program: we can fund your repair costs upfront when you list with us. You only reimburse the costs at closing — keeping your sale moving forward.

3. Local Market Knowledge

A great realtor understands the neighborhood, not just the numbers.➡️ Romine Group focuses on Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Madera Counties, so we know what buyers expect, what appraisers look for, and how to position your home for top value — even when it’s not perfect.

4. Transparent Communication

You deserve an agent who will keep you informed every step of the way, not just send you an update once a month.➡️ Franklin and the Romine Group team stay in touch from day one — inspection to repair, listing to closing — making sure you always know your options.

💰 The Romine Group “Repair Now – Pay Later” Program

If your home needs light updates — like paint, flooring, landscaping, or staging — Romine Group can fund those costs upfront so you don’t have to delay listing or pay out of pocket.

✅ No-interest funding — reimbursed at closing.✅ Professional contractors, trusted locally.✅ Homes sell faster and for higher prices.✅ You stay in full control of your property.

This program has helped dozens of Central Valley homeowners sell faster, even after code violations, insurance cancellations, or years of deferred maintenance.
