You’re ready to sell your property. While you’re looking forward to seeing the word “SOLD” posted from the curb, you know there’s a lot to consider along the way. One of your first decisions is to select a real estate company and real estate agent who’ll join you in the process.
Selling a Home
CHOOSE A PROFESSIONAL
A great agent helps you better understand the selling process and gives you a number of advantages in selling your home. Their local knowledge of home values and their expertise in pricing and negotiating are important assets in getting the most for your house.
LEARN ITS VALUE BEFORE YOU LIST
Setting the right price before you list is critical to getting the most for your home and selling it quickly. Having a professional with experience in your neighborhood prepare a “Competitive Market Analysis” report, gives you the facts and insight to set the right price. I offer a CMA free of charge, without obligation, that you can request online.
MARKETING AND NETWORKING
Getting the best price is about bringing you the right buyers for your house. This is a combination of a solid marketing plan, targeted media exposure. A buyer will likely find your home online first- I make sure your home looks spectacular and the shiniest object on display. Additionally, I’m networked throughout the community continually promoting my listings to agents in town who represent most of the serious qualified buyers
Manage Showings
Once we have prepared your house for sale and set a price, you’re ready for the public to see your home.
We will always coordinate for maximum exposure and a faster sale.
Review Offers
Congratulations! You received a message from me that you have an offer on your home. Now you need to evaluate that offer and decide how to respond.
You and the buyers can negotiate until you both agree on the final contract. I’m your best ally during the negotiations and is equipped with the data and knowledge to guide you.
Prepare for Inspection
Most buyers request a home inspection as a condition of their offer. While a home inspector will dig more deeply into your home than a buyer, the preparation you made before your first showing should help you get ready for the inspection. I will give you personalized advice too.
Prepare for Appraisal
As you near the end of your home sale journey, you will need to pass one more test: an appraisal. I will help you gather materials and prepare for the appraiser’s visit.
Close
While it’s tempting to focus on your next move, I will likely remind you that until the closing is over, you have some final responsibilities as a seller.
Congratulations! We can shake hands: you’ve successfully sold your home.
