Thinking about selling your home in Mount Vernon? You’re in the right place. Whether you’ve outgrown your space, are relocating, or simply ready for something new, a little preparation goes a long way toward selling quickly—and for top dollar.

At Team Kelli Lang | RE/MAX Gateway, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Skagit County sell confidently and profitably. Here’s what you should know before putting that “For Sale” sign in your yard.

1️⃣ Understand the Mount Vernon Market

Mount Vernon’s real estate market remains strong, with well-priced homes selling within weeks. Inventory is limited, so motivated buyers are competing for move-in-ready properties. Every neighborhood behaves differently—what sells fast in Hillcrest Park or Big Lake might move slower downtown. A local market analysis helps you price strategically and attract the right buyers from day one.

2️⃣ Prepare Your Home to Impress
First impressions matter—especially online. A few simple upgrades can make a huge difference:
✨ Boost curb appeal with fresh mulch and a tidy entryway.
🧹 Declutter and deep clean to help buyers imagine living there.
🏡 Professionally stage your home.
📸 Invest in high-quality photos for Zillow and social media.

🔧 Fix small issues before inspection.

3️⃣ Price It Right the First Time
Pricing is both an art and a science. Set it too high, and your home sits. Too low, and you leave money on the table. We use a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to find that sweet spot—creating excitement, encouraging offers, and giving you leverage at the negotiating table.

4️⃣ Know the Details: Disclosures, Taxes & Timing

Selling in Washington comes with a few key steps:
💡 You’ll pay Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) on the sale.
📋 Form 17 Seller Disclosure is required by law.
💰 Tax implications can vary for rental or inherited homes.
📦 Plan your sale timing around your next move.

5️⃣ Marketing That Moves Buyers
Buyers today aren’t just looking for a home—they’re looking for a lifestyle. That’s why every listing we market includes professional photos, video tours, social media ads, MLS exposure, and storytelling that highlights what makes your home and neighborhood special.

6️⃣ Navigate Offers Like a Pro

When offers come in, we help you evaluate them strategically—looking at net proceeds, contingencies, and terms. Clear communication and negotiation expertise protect your bottom line and keep deals on track.

7️⃣ Close with Confidence
From inspection to escrow, our transaction team handles every detail. You’ll always know what’s next, and you’ll never feel alone in the process.

Selling your home is a big decision—but you don’t have to do it alone. With trusted guidance, proven results, and a community-first approach, Team Kelli Lang | RE/MAX Gateway helps you move forward with confidence.
