A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR HOME SELLERS

Embarking on the journey of selling your home can be daunting, especially when faced with uncertainty. However, with the guidance of a seasoned agent and this clear and concise guide, you can confidently move through the process. Following these outlined steps will help you be well-prepared, maintain organization, and ultimately secure the best possible price for your property.

STEP 1

Find an Agent

Finding and choosing an agent you feel comfortable with from the outset is essential to ensure a successful home sale. A good agent will guide you through the entire process, understanding your needs and using their expertise to maximize your property’s potential in the market.

STEP 2

The Listing Process

The listing process is a critical stage where we discuss your home sale goals and select the best strategies for preparing to go on the market. This involves several steps, such as:

  • Listing appointment
  • Second appointment to discuss pricing
  • Home staging and preparation
  • Professional photography session
  • Signing paperwork
  • Inclusion in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service)

STEP 3

Showings

It’s important to keep your schedule flexible to accommodate showings for potential buyers. Make sure your home is always presentable and ready to be showcased to interested parties.

STEP 4

Offers & Negotiations

You will review and negotiate offers received alongside your agent, always seeking to obtain the best terms and the most favorable price for you.

STEP 5

INSPECTIONS

Buyers typically include a time period in the purchase contract to inspect the property. Once the inspection is completed, we will respond and negotiate the requested repairs, aiming for a beneficial agreement for both parties.

STEP 6

UNDER CONTRACT

At this point, a legally binding contract outlining the agreed-upon terms and conditions between the buyer and seller has been signed.

STEP 7

FINAL DETAILS

The title company or attorney will be responsible for collecting the necessary information for the preparation and completion of the closing documents.

STEP 8

CLOSING

Buyers will conduct a final walkthrough of the property within 24 hours prior to closing. Ensure the house is ready for its new owners, bring the keys to hand over, and prepare to go to the closing table where the final transaction and property transfer will take place.
