Four ways to sell

Which kind of sale should you choose?

Each path trades some speed for some money. We put all four in front of you with real numbers for your home, and you decide.

SpeedWhat you walk away with

Cash offer

A real offer (potentially more than one), no showings, no repairs. Best if you need certainty and a date more than the last dollar.

Speed: Fastest
What you walk away with: Least

Buy before you sell

Move once, on your schedule, no contingent offer. Best if you can’t carry two mortgages and won’t move twice.

Speed: Fast
What you walk away with: Good

List with a plan

Priced from what sold in your neighborhood, prepped only where it pays back. Best if you have a few weeks and want buyers competing for your home.

Speed: Steady
What you walk away with: More

Renovate and sell

We plan the updates buyers pay for; you net the most. Best if your home is dated and you want the renovated price without the upfront cost.

Speed: Takes longest
What you walk away with: Most

Not sure which one fits? That's what the call is for.

A home we sold: a brick ranch with a red front door
A home we sold: built-in bookshelves in the living room

Homes we sold in Raleigh and Oxford. Covering counties from Wake to Vance and everything in between.

Before you list

The worries every seller has, and what we do about them.

“My home will sit.”
We price from what closed in your neighborhood and the surrounding area, not a Raleigh average or an online estimate.
“I'll fix what buyers don't care about.”
We walk the house and list what pays back and what to skip. Most sellers do far less than they feared.
“I can't buy until this sells.”
Buy first, then sell. Your equity funds the next purchase and this sale runs on your timeline.
“Is a cash offer a rip-off?”
Sometimes. We put a real offer next to a listing estimate, net of everything, and you choose.
“I don't have time for this.”
From photos to the closing table, we run it. You make the decisions; we make the calls.

Who you're working with

You get me on the call, and on every call after it.

I'm Cameron Saemann, Broker in Charge. The price, the plan and the negotiation run through me, and you'll know everyone who works on your sale by name. No team of forty, no handoff to someone you've never met.

I grew up here and I sell here, so the numbers I quote you come from your neighborhood and the surrounding area, not a regional average.

I started Second Story Realty because selling a home isn't a transaction. It's the start of a new chapter, and it deserves a plan.
