FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What You Need to Know

Answers to the questions we hear most from Central Florida homeowners, buyers, and agents.

For Sellers

How does Sloan Properties determine my home’s listing price?
We run a comparative market analysis using recent sales data, current inventory, and property condition. We also factor in neighborhood trends specific to Central Florida. You get a pricing recommendation based on data, not guesswork.
How much does it cost to sell with Sloan Properties?
Our commission structure is competitive and transparent. We’ll walk you through every cost — including commission, closing costs, and any recommended repairs — before you sign anything. No surprises.
How long does it typically take to sell a home in Central Florida?
It depends on price point, location, and condition, but most properly priced homes in the Orlando metro area sell within 30 to 60 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on current market conditions, not empty promises.
What makes Sloan Properties different from a large brokerage?
You work directly with the broker. When you call, Morgan picks up the phone. There’s no phone tree, no being passed between agents, and no one learning your file for the first time. You get two decades of Central Florida real estate experience applied directly to your sale.
Do I need to make repairs before listing?
Not necessarily. We’ll assess your property and recommend only the improvements that will meaningfully impact your sale price or speed. Some homes sell best as-is. We’ll be honest about what’s worth fixing and what isn’t.
What if my home doesn’t sell?
We build a plan before we list. If something isn’t working, we adjust pricing, marketing, or strategy — not just wait and hope. Our goal is to sell your home at the right price in a reasonable timeframe.

For Buyers

Do I need to be pre-approved before looking at homes?
We strongly recommend it. Pre-approval tells you exactly what you can afford, strengthens your offer, and speeds up the closing process. We can connect you with trusted local lenders if you need one.
How much does it cost to work with Sloan Properties as a buyer?
In most transactions, the seller covers the buyer’s agent commission. We’ll explain the full cost structure up front so you know exactly what to expect.
I’m a first-time buyer. Where do I start?
Start with a conversation. We’ll walk you through the entire process — from pre-approval to closing — and answer every question along the way. No pressure, no jargon. We help first-time buyers in Central Florida every day.
How long does the home buying process take?
From signed contract to closing, most transactions take 30 to 45 days. The overall timeline depends on how quickly you find the right property and how smoothly financing goes. We keep things moving on our end.
Can you help me find off-market properties?
Yes. Through our network and data tools, we can identify properties that aren’t listed on the MLS — including owners who may be open to selling. This gives you access to opportunities other buyers won’t see.
What areas of Florida do you serve?
We serve all of Central Florida, with deep expertise in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Volusia, Brevard, and Polk counties. If you’re buying or selling in the greater Orlando metro area, we can help.

About Sloan Properties

Who is the broker?
Morgan Sloan leads Sloan Properties as President and Broker. With two decades in Central Florida real estate, Morgan Sloan handles every transaction personally — from strategy through closing.
Is Sloan Properties a full-service brokerage?
Yes. We handle pricing, marketing, negotiations, contracts, and closing coordination. Whether you’re buying or selling, we manage the entire process so you don’t have to.
I’m a licensed Realtor. Is Sloan Properties a good fit for me?
If you’re tired of paying for a brand name and not getting much in return, you’ll feel at home here. We built Sloan Properties for agents who want to focus on their clients — not office politics, unnecessary meetings, or layers of management. You get direct access to your broker, modern tools that actually work, and a competitive commission split. Whether you’re experienced or early in your career, we’re happy to have a conversation about what working together looks like.
What technology and support do agents get at Sloan?
We invest in the tools our agents need to compete — a custom CRM for lead management, automated email campaigns, contact enrichment, and marketing support. You won’t be handed a desk and a phone book. We give you real infrastructure so you can spend your time where it counts: with your clients.
Do I need to commit to a long-term contract to join?
No. We believe agents stay because the relationship works, not because of a contract. We’ll walk you through everything up front so you can make an informed decision with zero pressure.
