While every property is unique, our listings in Philadelphia’s core neighborhoods typically go under contract within 30 days when properly priced and prepared. During our initial consultation, we’ll provide a customized timeline based on your specific property, neighborhood, and current market conditions.
The most effective pre-sale improvements vary by neighborhood and property type. Generally, in Philadelphia, strategic kitchen and bathroom updates, fresh neutral paint, and enhanced curb appeal offer the best return on investment. During our property assessment, we’ll identify the specific improvements that will maximize your property’s value without unnecessary spending.
We develop a precise pricing strategy using recent comparable sales, current competition, neighborhood-specific trends, and your property’s unique features. Our hyperlocal Philadelphia expertise allows us to adjust for block-by-block variations that generic pricing algorithms miss, ensuring your property is priced to maximize both value and buyer interest.
Unlike traditional brokerages, HubKey combines sales expertise with comprehensive property management capabilities. This integrated approach provides deeper market insights and allows us to offer solutions beyond the transaction. Our specialized focus on Philadelphia’s core neighborhoods and investor-friendly approach ensures you receive truly expert guidance tailored to your specific property.
In the rare cases where eviction is necessary, we work with trusted Philadelphia attorneys with specific experience in eviction law.
Your property will receive a comprehensive marketing campaign including professional photography, targeted online advertising across all major real estate platforms, social media promotion, email marketing to our buyer database, and direct networking with active buyers and agents. For distinctive properties, we develop custom marketing strategies to highlight unique features to the most relevant buyer pool. The data relating to real estate listings is shared through the BRIGHT Internet Data Exchange program and is intended solely for the personal, non-commercial use of consumers.
Beyond the standard commission, typical seller costs in Philadelphia include transfer tax (approximately 4.278% of sale price, typically split between buyer and seller), settlement fees, and any agreed-upon repairs following evaluation. We provide a detailed seller net sheet during our initial consultation so you’ll understand exactly what to expect.
