The short answer

Can I sell my Tampa house from out of state?

Yes. Most of a Florida sale can be handled remotely, including signing and closing through a title company. What you need is someone local you trust to handle everything at the house.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough great words to describe the level of service I received from Rachel & Scott Mathew from start to finish.  They did an amazing job listing and selling my condo in a tough market.  They were a wealth of knowledge especially since I had not moved in 20 years.  They spent hours showing me homes that would check off all my requirements and helped me find and close on my dream home.  And, they do not stop there … they even helped me with my move since we could not do back to back closings.  Over and above exceptional service and really wonderful people to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Scott just blew me away. When my father passed, he walked my brother and I through the probate process and helped us prepare the house for sale - he even helped to clear old trash and broken furniture and used his trailer to transport the debris to the dump. I've never heard of this kind of service from a realtor and his help was such a gift under the circumstances. We received a very fair offer within days of listing and were able to quickly sell the house as-is thanks to a pre-sale inspection, which Scott recommended. He made a potentially complicated process go smoothly for us at a difficult time and I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much Scott!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for a realtor that goes the extra mile, Scott is the realtor for you! He spent a lot of time making sure my family and I made the right decision when purchasing our home. He knew what to look out for and paid attention to all the details we didn’t even think about. Scott spent the time getting to know us to make sure that all of our needs were met, he started as our realtor and quickly became a friend.

Before you list

What out-of-state sellers should know

Vacant home insurance. Many policies change once a home is empty. Check coverage early.
Disclosures. Florida sellers must disclose known defects, even if they haven’t lived there recently.
Inherited homes. The estate or probate may need to be settled first. A Florida attorney can confirm what applies.
Military moves. With MacDill nearby, Scott is used to relocation timelines.
