Eight simple steps to selling your home

1. Define your needs.

  • Write down all the reasons for selling your home. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to sell and what do I expect to accomplish with the sale?”

2. Name your price.

  • Your next objective should be to determine the best possible selling price for your house. Setting a fair asking price from the outset will generate the most activity from other real estate agents and buyers. You will need to take into account the condition of your home, what comparable homes in your neighborhood are selling for, and state of the overall market in your area. It’s often difficult to remain unbiased when putting a price on your home, so our expertise is invaluable at this step. We know what comparable homes are selling for in your neighborhood and the average time those homes are sitting on the market.

3. Prepare your home.

  • Most of us don’t keep our homes in “showroom” condition. We tend to overlook piles of boxes in the garage, broken porch lights, and doors or windows that stick. It’s time to break out of that owner’s mindset and get your house in tip-top shape. The condition of your home will affect how quickly it sells and the price the buyer is willing to offer. First impressions are the most important.

4. Get the word out.

  • Now that you’re ready to sell, we will set up a marketing strategy specifically for your home. We will structure the marketing plan so that the first three to six weeks are the busiest.

5. Receive an offer.

  • When you receive a written offer from a potential buyer, we will first find out whether or not the individual is prequalified or preapproved to buy your home. If so, then you and us will review the proposed contract, taking care to understand what is required of both parties to execute the transaction.

6. Negotiate to sell.

  • Most offers to purchase your home will require some negotiating to come to a win-win agreement. We are well versed on the intricacies of the contracts used in our area and will protect your best interest throughout the bargaining.

7. Prepare to close.

  • Once you accept an offer to sell your house, you will need to make a list of all the things you and your buyer must do before closing. The property may need to be formally appraised, surveyed, inspected or repaired. We will spearhead the effort and serve as your advocate when dealing with the buyer’s agent and service providers.

8. Close the deal.

  • “Closing” refers to the event where ownership of the property is legally transferred to the buyer. We will be involved during the closing to guide you through the process and make sure everything goes as planned.
