Selling a home in Blacksburg means selling to buyers who are often moving here for Virginia Tech, the Corporate Research Center or a new job. A listing agent who plans for that audience gives your home its best chance.
Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC is a listing agent for homeowners in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford and Prices Fork. Our seller's agent services cover pricing, preparation, marketing, negotiation and settlement, led by a broker with more than 20 years of experience. Carolyn Thompson is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS).
We study recent sales of the homes closest to yours in location, style, size, age and condition, adjusted for the differences, and show you the sales we used. You choose the list price.
We walk the home with you and sort ideas into worth doing, optional and skip. Paint, lighting and repairs that would show up on an inspection are usually where to start. We can help you locate independent contractors; you choose whom to hire.
Professional photography, a complete MLS listing and online exposure that reaches buyers relocating to the New River Valley, then showings with agents affiliated with Real Estate Search and Sale. The home should be ready the day it goes live.
Financing, the deposit, contingencies, the settlement date and any request for seller credits all matter. The highest price isn't always the strongest offer. We negotiate offers, track every deadline and stay with you through settlement.
Which sales support your price? What happens in the first two weeks of marketing? How are offers presented? Who will I work with day to day? May I have references?
These are a sampling of the many communities Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC serves.
This is only a sampling; we serve many more communities throughout Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, West Virginia and Florida.

Criminals target real estate transactions with emails and texts that appear to come from agents, title companies and lenders. Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC never sends wiring instructions by email or text. Before you wire any money, call your title company or settlement attorney at a phone number you have verified independently, never one taken from an email or text, to confirm the instructions. If you suspect fraud, contact your bank and the title company right away.
