Thinking about selling your home in Tampa or the surrounding areas? You’re in the right place.
I’m Rosana Ercia Hernandez, a local Florida REALTOR® with B&Y Realty Group, and I help homeowners just like you sell confidently — without the stress, delays, or second-guessing.
In this post, I’m sharing 7 proven secrets that will help you sell your home faster and for the best possible price.
Secret #1: Zillow Estimates? Not Always Precise.
Zillow and Redfin might give you a ballpark figure, but they can be off by $10,000 or more. Pricing your home correctly from the start is key. Tampa Tip: The wrong price can scare off buyers or attract lowball offers. Get a FREE, personalized home valuation done by me — based on real-time market data, not algorithms.
Secret #2: Presentation is Everything
In Florida’s fast-paced market, first impressions matter. You don’t need to renovate everything — just focus on:
- Decluttering
- Deep cleaning
- Fresh paint/touch-ups
- Boosting curb appeal (think: palms, mulch, pressure-washed walkways)
Secret #3: Choose the Right Agent (Not Just the Closest One)
This market moves fast. You need more than someone to list your home — you need a local expert with strategy.
I bring:
- Deep knowledge of Tampa Bay neighborhoods
- A custom marketing plan
- Pro negotiation skills that protect your bottom line
Secret #4: Good Photos Sell Homes
Most buyers will first see your home online. Poor photos = fewer showings = lower offers.
That’s why I include:
- Professional photography
- Video walkthroughs
- Listing exposure across Zillow, MLS, Realtor, and social media.
Secret #5: Not All Offers Are Good Offers
Did you know a higher price doesn’t always mean a better deal?
Some offers:
- Fall through during financing
- Have tight deadlines
- Include major inspection demands
I’ll walk you through every offer and help you choose the one that protects your time, your finances, and your peace of mind.
Secret #6: Inspections Don’t Have to Be Scary
Buyers will do inspections — but that doesn’t mean you have to agree to every demand.
With the right prep and negotiation, you can avoid major concessions and close smoothly.
