How to Sell a Home in Fallon, Nevada

Getting ready to sell a home in Fallon? This step-by-step guide explains how to price, prepare, market, and close your sale in Fallon, Nevada. You’ll also learn about required Nevada disclosures, HOA documents when applicable, and typical closing costs so you can move with confidence. As trusted local advisors, Cassie Craig and Paul Dunham with Craig Team Realty help Fallon sellers plan a smooth sale and a strong outcome.

What makes the Fallon market unique

Fallon blends small-town living with regional demand. Many buyers are drawn by affordability, open space, and proximity to jobs—including agriculture, services, and the Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon area. Rural and edge-of-town homes can include wells, septic systems, or even irrigation water rights. That mix means careful preparation and clear disclosures matter.

Local nuance: Some Fallon parcels carry irrigation water rights managed through local agencies. If your property has them—or historically used them—plan ahead to confirm whether those rights convey with the sale and how they’re documented. Your agent, title, or the local irrigation district can help you verify.

Your seller roadmap (quick overview)

  1. Clarify timing and goals (move-out date, lease-back needs, next purchase).
  2. Verify key facts (utilities, systems, permits, HOA status, water/irrigation rights if any).
  3. Complete required Nevada disclosures and gather HOA resale documents if applicable.
  4. Price with a local comparative market analysis (CMA) and clear strategy.
  5. Prepare the home (repairs, light updates, cleaning, staging, pro photos/video).
  6. Launch marketing (MLS, online, social, signage, showings/open houses where suitable).
  7. Evaluate offers (price, terms, financing strength, timelines, risk).
  8. Manage escrow (inspections, appraisal, title work, conditions, clear-to-close).
  9. Sign closing documents and hand over keys per your agreement.

Required Nevada disclosures: simple checklist

In Nevada, sellers must complete a statutory property condition disclosure for most residential resales. The form asks about major systems and any known defects that materially affect value or use. There are limited exemptions, but most resales require it. For homes built before 1978, federal law also requires a lead-based paint disclosure and delivery of the EPA brochure. If the home is in an HOA, sellers usually provide a resale package with governing documents and financials so buyers understand rules, fees, and reserves. Ask your agent to coordinate timing so buyers receive these in an orderly way.

Seller’s Property Disclosure (most resales)

  • Complete Nevada’s property condition disclosure truthfully.
  • Note known defects and past or current issues.
  • Update if a new defect is discovered before closing.

Lead disclosure (pre-1978 homes)

  • Provide the federal lead disclosure and EPA brochure.
  • Allow buyers time to conduct a lead inspection if they choose.

HOA resale package (if applicable)

  • Governing documents, financials, reserves, fees, rules.
  • Delivered within required timelines; often valid for a set window.

Pricing it right for Fallon

In a smaller market, accurate pricing matters. A price that’s too high can cause the listing to sit; too low can leave money on the table. Cassie and Paul will prepare a CMA using recent Fallon comparables, adjusting for land, outbuildings, upgrades, and condition. We’ll also discuss seasonality, buyer demand near NAS Fallon, and what buyers are prioritizing now (condition, energy costs, home office space, or room for hobbies).

Prep that pays off

High-impact basics

  • Deep clean, declutter, and depersonalize.
  • Fresh paint in neutral tones where needed.
  • Service HVAC, fix obvious leaks and squeaks.

Exterior & acreage

  • Tidy landscaping and fencing; address gates and latches.
  • Neaten barns, sheds, and outbuildings; show usable space.
  • If irrigated, outline how you’ve used the land seasonally.

Photography & media

  • Professional photos to capture light and views.
  • Optional video or 3D tour for wider reach.
  • Floor plans help buyers understand layout.

Our marketing plan for Fallon sellers

  • Placement on the regional MLS with compelling copy and media.
  • Targeted online exposure and social reach to qualified buyers.
  • Coordination with agents whose clients want rural or small-town settings.
  • Scheduling showings to maximize traffic while respecting your routine.

Showings made simple

  • Secure pets and valuables; store medications and documents.
  • Set lighting and temperature for comfort.
  • Leave a brief “features sheet” highlighting upgrades, utilities, and land use.

Reading offers: more than price

We’ll review price and net—but also financing type, appraisal risk, inspection terms, personal property, occupancy/lease-back needs, and any sale-of-buyer’s-home contingency. If multiple offers arrive, we’ll help you compare apples to apples and counter for better terms where appropriate.

Escrow, inspections, and appraisal

Once you accept an offer, the buyer usually schedules inspections. You can agree to repairs, offer a credit, or sell as-is if that was part of the agreement. Lenders typically require an appraisal for financed purchases. Meanwhile, the title company clears title, prepares closing documents, and coordinates signing. We’ll keep you updated so nothing falls through the cracks.

Closing costs to plan for

Every contract is different, and local customs can change. Typical seller costs may include transfer tax, title fees, escrow fees, and any HOA document/transfer fees where applicable. Many items are negotiable—your final figures will appear on your settlement statement.

Nevada Real Property Transfer Tax (RPTT): quick math

  • Churchill County rate: $2.05 per $500 of value (that’s $4.10 per $1,000).
  • Example: $400,000 sale price → 400 × $4.10 ≈ $1,640 in RPTT (estimate only).

Other possible costs: HOA document/transfer fees (if any), well/septic or pest work you agree to, a home warranty if offered, and any negotiated credits. Ask your agent and escrow officer for a personalized net sheet.

Timeline: how long does it take?

  • Prep: 1–3 weeks for cleaning, touch-ups, photos, and launch.
  • On market: Varies by price, condition, and demand (well-priced homes often see activity quickly).
  • Escrow: Commonly 30–45 days for financed offers; cash can be faster.

If you’re also buying, we can plan a lease-back or coordinated closing so your move is smooth.

Special Fallon considerations to discuss early

  • Irrigation/water rights: Confirm what you have, how it’s used, and whether it conveys. Gather any maps, allocations, or past correspondence.
  • Rural systems: If you have a private well, septic, propane, or wood/alternative heat, collect service and maintenance records to reassure buyers.
  • Aircraft activity: Properties near flight paths may experience aircraft noise; being upfront with buyers helps set expectations.
  • Outbuildings & uses: If you’ve added sheds, barns, or corrals, note permits and intended use so buyers understand the value.
