Selling Your Palm Coast or St. Augustine Home From Out of State

Yes, you can usually sell a Palm Coast or St. Augustine home without coming back to Florida. Your local agent handles access, vendors, showings and marketing. You review offers and sign by e-signature, and closing is typically done with a mail-away package or remote online notarization arranged by the title company. Your attorney or title company confirms what applies to you.

From the Lender’s Side

What a loan officer saw

★★★★★

“I’ve been a loan officer for more than 24 years, and I’ve had the opportunity to work with many real estate professionals. … She stayed on top of every detail, kept everyone informed, and consistently found solutions whenever challenges arose. … In my professional opinion, this transaction would not have closed as quickly—or as smoothly—without her dedication and hard work.”

While You’re Away

Who handles the house while you’re away

I hold the keys and manage the lockbox. I meet contractors, inspectors and appraisers at the house, coordinate access and vendors, and keep you up to date with photos and video as work gets done.

Pricing it right when you can’t see the market

You can’t drive the neighborhood from another state, so I do it for you. Your value is a personal market analysis I prepare from recent sales in your own section of Palm Coast or St. Augustine, not an automated estimate. Request your home value.

Marketing that reaches buyers you’ll never meet

Your home premieres with my Live Like a Local video series, which shows buyers the community around the house before they visit. See my full marketing plan.

Closing

Signing and closing from another state

E-signature for the contract, mail-away closing packages and remote online notarization are common ways out-of-state sellers close. The title company and a Florida real estate attorney confirm which options apply to you, including whether a power of attorney makes sense.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk with a Florida real estate attorney or your title company about your situation.

★★★★★

“Marilyn is an amazing realtor. She’s professional, diligent, extremely kind, and went the extra distance on so many elements of the deal. She coordinated with contractors of all sorts, communicated effectively to keep everyone up to date and kept the sale on track to close in a very timely manner. We couldn’t have asked for a better person or experience. She took a lot of stress off of both the seller and the borrower. I highly recommend her. She works hard for all parties and deserves her commission. If five stars is the top rating she deserves six!!”

A remote closing, from a buyer in Connecticut

★★★★★

“We thought living in Connecticut and buying in Florida would be stressful. Not at all with Marilynn. … We made an offer, it was accepted and she set up the closing so we could complete remotely from Connecticut and now we’re moving to Florida. She made it that easy.”

Often, no. Mail-away closing packages and remote online notarization are common options. Your title company or a Florida real estate attorney confirms which one applies to you.

Who lets buyers and inspectors in?

I coordinate access and vendors for you, using a lockbox, and I attend in person when it matters.

Should I fix things before listing if I can’t be there?

Only what is worth it. I’ll tell you which repairs tend to pay off and which don’t. See what to fix before you list.

How will I know what’s happening with my listing?

I keep you up to date on showings, feedback, vendor work and offers, so you are never guessing from another state.
