Selling a Home in Orlando? Why 2 Agents Give You 2 Different Prices (+19 More Answers)

Selling a home in Central Florida, whether in Winter Park, Oviedo, Maitland, Longwood, Casselberry, or anywhere in Seminole County, starts with the questions sellers ask me at every listing appointment. This video answers 20 of them: what your home is really worth and when a Zestimate gets it right, whether winter is a good time to list here, what closing costs actually come out of your proceeds, and why 2 agents can give you 2 very different prices. It also covers which updates pay you back (interior paint, kitchens, bathrooms), why a pool that costs $150,000 may add only about $75,000 in value, what "as-is" really means in Florida, and how buyer credits and insurance-related repair requests work. Central Florida real estate agent Kristine McKinley Pestana, who has sold more than 650 homes over the last decade, gives the same straight answers she gives her own sellers. You'll walk away with a realistic sense of your price, your net proceeds, and the questions to ask any agent you interview. 🔷 WATCH NEXT: 5 Mistakes Oviedo Sellers Make —    • Winter Park FL Housing Market 2026: 68% of...   ➡️ Connect with Kristine McKinley & The Orlando Real Estate Chicks with RE/MAX Town & Country.
