You might be selling a single-family home in Beverly, a condo in Salem, a two-family in Peabody or a multifamily investment property in Danvers. Either way, Herrick Lutts Realty Partners starts with an honest look at what your property is worth in the current market. Once we’ve set a value range, we build a marketing plan around your property’s best features and give you staging and preparation advice from people who do this every day.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS
For over two decades, Herrick Lutts has helped hundreds of home sellers across the North Shore reach their real estate goals. From our office at 5 Briscoe St in Beverly, our full-service team handles the listing, marketing and negotiating of your property, so the whole process runs smoothly and meets your expectations.
Selling a Home: How It Works
- Valuation. We compare your home with recent sales of truly similar properties in your own neighborhood, then adjust for condition, updates, parking and lot. A downtown Salem condo, a West Peabody colonial and a Beverly Farms antique are different markets, and we price them that way.
- Preparation. We tell you which repairs and updates buyers will notice and which you can skip. For older homes, a pre-listing inspection can take surprises off the table.
- Paperwork done early. Massachusetts requires a smoke and carbon monoxide certificate from the local fire department, and homes built before 1978 need a lead paint disclosure. Condo sellers need a 6(d) certificate from their association, and homes with a private septic system need a Title V inspection. We line these up so they never hold up your sale.
- Marketing. Professional photography, MLS PIN exposure, syndication to the major home search sites and well-run open houses.
- Negotiation through closing. We compare offers on price, financing strength, contingencies and timing. Then we coordinate inspections and work with your attorney through the Purchase and Sale Agreement and closing.
Selling a Multifamily or Investment Property
Two-families, triple-deckers and small apartment buildings sell to a different kind of buyer. Owner-occupants who want rental income, local investors and 1031 exchange buyers are all running numbers before they walk through the door. We price these properties on both comparable sales and income, and we help you put together what those buyers will ask for:
- A current rent roll showing rents, lease dates, security deposits, last month’s rent and who pays which utilities
- 12 to 24 months of operating expenses and a dated list of capital improvements
- Lead paint Letters of Compliance and security deposit account records
We schedule showings around tenants with proper notice. If you plan to reinvest, we coordinate your sale with your 1031 exchange timeline. Learn more on our Investing page.
