SELLER’S GUIDE

Steps to Selling a Home in 

1. Partner with the Right Realtor
Selling a home is a major financial decision, and the right realtor will make all the difference. As your realtor, I’ll guide you through the process, providing expert advice on pricing, marketing, and negotiating to ensure a smooth and successful sale.

2. Determine the Right Listing Price
Pricing your home accurately is critical. I’ll conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine the best price based on the local market, recent sales, and your home’s unique features. We want to maximize your profit while attracting serious buyers quickly.

3. Prepare Your Home for Sale
First impressions matter! I’ll provide tips for decluttering, staging, and any necessary repairs or updates that will make your home more appealing to potential buyers. We want your home to shine in person and in photos.

4. Professional Photos and Marketing
High-quality photos and targeted marketing are key to reaching buyers. I’ll arrange for professional photography and create a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes online listings, social media promotion, email campaigns, and potentially open houses to generate interest.

5. List Your Home
Once your home is prepared and marketing materials are ready, we’ll list your property on the MLS and other platforms. My goal is to generate excitement and attract qualified buyers quickly.

6. Showings and Open Houses
We’ll schedule showings and possibly hold open houses to showcase your home to potential buyers. I’ll handle all communications, scheduling, and feedback to ensure the process is smooth and stress-free for you.

7. Receive and Negotiate Offers
As offers come in, I’ll review each one with you, discussing the pros and cons. My goal is to get you the best price and terms. I’ll handle the negotiations on your behalf, ensuring we maximize your return while accommodating your needs.

8. Accept an Offer
Once we’ve agreed on the best offer, I’ll guide you through accepting the offer and any contingencies that may be in place, such as inspections, appraisals, or buyer financing.

9. Home Inspections and Repairs
The buyer will likely conduct a home inspection. If any issues arise, I’ll help you navigate repair requests or negotiate a credit so that the sale continues to move forward smoothly.

10. Appraisal and Closing
The buyer’s lender will arrange for an appraisal to confirm the home’s value matches the offer price. Once the appraisal is completed, we’ll move toward closing, ensuring all documents and requirements are in order.

11. Final Walk-Through
Before closing, the buyer will do a final walk-through to ensure the property is in the agreed-upon condition. I’ll make sure everything is prepared for this step.

12. Close the Sale
At the closing meeting, both you and the buyer will sign the necessary paperwork to complete the sale. I’ll be there to ensure everything goes smoothly, and once the documents are signed, the sale is finalized, and you’ll receive the proceeds.

13. Celebrate Your Success
Congratulations! You’ve successfully sold your home. I’ll continue to be a resource for you, whether you need assistance with your next move or future real estate investments.
