Selling your Bloomington home
Our office is in Bloomington, and selling here has one step most cities do not. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What do I need to do to sell my home in Bloomington? Bloomington requires a Time-of-Sale housing inspection for single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums, and townhouses. An evaluator checks the home, and any required repairs must be addressed. Doing it early keeps your sale on schedule.

The Time-of-Sale inspection, and how to use it
- Schedule it before you list. You learn what the city requires while there is still time to fix it.
- Handle required repairs. Some items must be corrected. We decide who does the work and when.
- Use it as a selling point. A clean report shows buyers the home has already been looked at.
Beyond that, we price against your side of the city. West Bloomington homes near Hyland Lake Park Reserve and Bush Lake compete with each other, and east Bloomington homes sell on their access to the airport, light rail, and Interstate 494. If you are close to the airport, we are factual about it in the listing.
How we sell homes in Bloomington
Our plan has four parts: price from evidence, prepare and photograph the home, market it beyond the MLS, and launch on a schedule. Read it in full on how we sell your home, with more detail on pricing and marketing. The general steps are on our selling your home page, and local detail is on our Bloomington page.
