Selling Your Home in Columbia, SC
Sell with a launch, not a listing. Three prices with your net on each, professional photos and video, paid ads, and a call from us every week.
What selling your home in Columbia really involves
Selling your home in Columbia, SC comes down to three decisions: the price you list at, how the home looks to a buyer scrolling on a phone, and how many of the right buyers see it in the first few weeks. Get those right and the rest of the sale tends to follow. Get one wrong and the home sits, the price drops, and buyers start wondering what is wrong with it.
The market here moves at different speeds depending on where you are. In the twelve months ending October 8, 2026, half the homes that sold in Southeast Columbia (29209) were on the market 27 days or less, and in the Forest Acres and Trenholm Road area (29206) it was 18 days, according to Consolidated MLS closed sales. Sellers in those ZIP codes got about 98% of their list price. Those are area-wide numbers. What matters for you is where your home sits against the homes a buyer will compare it to this month.
This page is for homeowners in Columbia and the surrounding Midlands who want to sell, whether you are moving up, moving away, or moving on.
How Taylored Realty Team sells a home
Taylored Realty Team is Terry and Yolanda Taylor, REALTORS® with more than 40 years of combined experience. Yolanda is the Broker-in-Charge and leads the negotiating. Terry runs the systems that keep every deadline in view. Both of us work every listing.
We do not list a home and wait for the phone to ring. Before your home goes live, you get three prices built from the comps on your street, each with a net sheet showing what you would walk away with after the payoff, the deed stamps, the prorated taxes, and the rest of the closing costs. The full pricing approach is laid out in the equity step of how we sell.
Then we put money into getting the home seen: professional photos, a walkthrough video, a website for your home alone, and paid Facebook and Instagram ads shown to people in and around Columbia. The ad for one of our listings, 700 Bell Flower Lane, reached 12,602 people in eight days. You can read how that works in the impact step.
What you get when you list with us
- Three prices and a net sheet for each, so you choose with the number that lands in your account in front of you.
- A pre-listing inspection, so you know about the roof, the crawlspace, or the water heater before a buyer's inspector does.
- Professional photos, a walkthrough video, and a listing description written for the buyer most likely to want your home.
- Paid social ads and a single-property website, on top of Consolidated MLS and the big search sites it feeds.
- A phone call from us every week, news or not, and a fresh look at the price every month until it sells.
- Every offer on its own net sheet, so you compare what you keep, not just the top-line price.
- Help after closing, including free use of the TRT Moving Truck on moving day.
Every document gets explained in plain language before you sign it. One seller put it this way: "We were informed every step of the way and never felt out of the loop on any stage of the process."
