Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming at times, and we understand that. Over the years, we’ve helped countless clients in Tuolumne County and beyond find confidence through clarity. Here are a few of the questions we hear most often — and how we handle them with care, transparency, and local expertise.
FAQs
1. How much is my home worth?
That’s one of the first things most people ask — and it’s a great question. Shari Lyons & Team provide a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis that looks at recent sales, local trends, and the unique features of your home to give you an honest, data-driven estimate. We’ll also talk about simple ways to increase its value before you list.
2. How long will it take to sell my home?
Every property is different, but Shari and her team will give you a realistic timeline based on local market activity, pricing strategy, and your goals. Because we know Tuolumne County so well, we can often anticipate when and how fast certain types of homes move — from lake cabins to full-time residences.
3. What should I do to prepare my home for sale?
You don’t need to overhaul everything. Shari Lyons & Team walk through your home with you and point out small, strategic updates that make the biggest impact. From light staging and curb appeal tips to trusted local contractors for repairs, we’ll make sure your home shows beautifully and feels welcoming from the moment buyers walk in.
4. How much do you charge in commission?
Our commission is competitive and always transparent. Shari Lyons & Team believe in earning your trust through results — not surprises. We’ll go over exactly what’s included, how commissions are split, and how every dollar of marketing works toward getting you the best possible return.
5. How will you market my home?
Marketing is where Shari Lyons & Team truly shine. Every listing gets professional photography, targeted online exposure, strong social media visibility, and placement on all major real estate platforms.

6. What happens after I make or receive an offer?
Once an offer is on the table, Shari Lyons & Team guide you through every step — negotiations, inspections, appraisals, and escrow — keeping you informed and confident from start to finish. Our goal is to make what can feel complicated, simple. You’ll never wonder what’s next, because we’re with you at every turn.
