Selling a Home in Sterling Heights, MI | Tom Gilliam

Selling a home in Sterling Heights, MI? I’m Tom Gilliam with RE/MAX Classic. I help homeowners plan their sale, prepare the property, review local comparable sales, and navigate offers and closing. My experience includes 24 years in real estate and 700+ closed transactions.

Your Sterling Heights home deserves a plan built around its condition, features, and competing listings. We will discuss your goals, review a pricing recommendation, and identify preparation priorities before bringing the home to market.

I provide residential resale guidance for Sterling Heights homeowners, with flexible meetings at your home or my Farmington Hills office. You will receive clear explanations of the marketing plan, offers, and next steps.

Prepare your Sterling Heights home for listing

A useful selling plan starts with the details of your property, rather than a citywide average. Before our consultation, gather these items:

  • Property details: Your address, parcel number, floor plan if available, and notes about additions or finished living space.
  • Maintenance history: Approximate ages of the roof, furnace, air conditioner, windows, and other major improvements, plus any available receipts or warranties.
  • Condo or association documents: If applicable, current dues, association contacts, and available rules or resale documents.
  • Your moving plans: Preferred listing date, showing availability, and whether you need to coordinate the sale with another purchase.

The City of Sterling Heights Assessing Department provides access to online property assessment, building appraisal, and tax information. Use it to review your property record and note any details you want to clarify before listing.

We can then review comparable Sterling Heights sales and competing listings, discuss preparation priorities, and build a marketing plan around your property and timeline. See how I help home sellers or request a Sterling Heights selling consultation.
