Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to sell a home in Port Washington?

Stephen's no-risk program is plain: 1% if you find the buyer, 3% if he finds the buyer, 2% if another agent brings the buyer. The standard 2% buyer-agent commission is fully negotiable and optional. Sellers also typically pay attorney fees and title and search fees. In Nassau County, the 1% mansion tax is paid by the buyer.

I am downsizing in Port Washington. Where do I start?

Start with a valuation, not a cleanout. Once you know what your home is worth, you can set a timeline for sorting, donating, and selling, and you will know exactly what you can afford next. Call or text 917-767-0037 to start.

Should I renovate before selling in Port Washington?

No big renovation, usually. Fresh paint, working fixtures, a clean yard, and good light beat a new kitchen for return on cost. Stephen's prep walk-through tells you which fixes actually move the number.

What do Port Washington buyers want most?

Location first, then condition. Buyers come for the waterfront, the train, and the village, and they pay for move-in-ready. Pricing from closed sales, not from hope, is what gets you 102.7% of list.

When is the best time to list in Port Washington?

Spring brings the most buyers, and fall is strong too. But a well-priced, well-presented home sells in any season. In 2026, every one of Stephen's listings sold.
