Selling Real Estate
Below are the essential steps that are involved in the process of selling your home. Always feel free to use us as a resource for any assistance or to answer any questions that you may have.
Step 1: Prepare to your home for sale
It is important that you physically prepare your home for sale by decluttering and removing any unnecessary items. Next, be sure to thoroughly clean the home from top to bottom including storage areas and closets as organized storage areas appear larger and accommodating. Complete the process with staging by rearranging your furniture so that it shows off the space best. Add flowers to your landscaping or pots by the front steps to make the home as warm and inviting as possible. Maintaining your home in this perfect condition throughout the entire process is vital to make a great impression on all buyers.
Step 2: Arrive at the list price of your home
Several factors including market conditions, comparables, interest rates and your home’s location and condition will play roles for how much you can ask for price. In some ways home selling is part art, part science, part marketing, and part negotiation. Current market comparables will be provided, but it is ultimately the seller that will set the asking price.
Step 3: Negotiating an offer
Perhaps the most complex part of the sales process comes when you get an offer. Whether you have one offer or multiple to consider, we can assist you with advice for a strategy to achieve your goals.
Step 4: Planning your move
Once you have accepted an offer and all contingencies are complete, you can start with your next stage in planning your move. Fortunately, a good amount of the cleaning, organizing and decluttering has already been done prior to listing the home for sale. Now you can start booking movers as you prepare for your next chapter.
