STEPS OF SELLING

I have the tools to meet the demands of a highly competitive, modern market.


I will work for you every step of the way! My combination of skill, experience, and technology ensures that I can sell your home for the highest possible price and in the shortest period of time.

Home Evaluation:  We will meet to determine an appropriate asking price by conducting a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and assessing your home's unique features.  We will also discuss how to prepare your home for sale. This may involve decluttering, staging, and making necessary repairs.  Staging your home has huge positive effects on how long your home stays on the market and how much it will sell for. A well-staged home tends to capture the attention of potential buyers more effectively. The enhanced presentation increases the likelihood of quicker offers and a reduced time spent on the market. This, in turn, can influence buyers to perceive your property as more valuable, potentially leading to a higher sale price.

Listing Documents: This outlines the terms of the agreement, including the listing price and the realtor's commission.

Marketing Materials: I will begin my comprehensive marketing plan, which includes professional photography, virtual tours, online listings, and traditional advertising methods.

Showings and Open Houses:  Make your home available for showings and potentially organize open houses to attract potential buyers. You will need to exit the home for 30 minute time slots for showings. Together we will brainstorm ideas to make this as easy as possible for you. 

Receive and Evaluate Offers: I will present and help you evaluate offers from potential buyers. Consider factors like price, closing date, and any conditions attached to the offer and negotiate the terms of the sale. This may involve counter-offers and discussions to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties.

Accept an Offer:  Once you are satisfied with an offer, formally accept it.

Subject Removal Period:  The buyer will have a specified period to remove subjects or conditions from the offer, such as a home inspection, financing approval, or other contingencies. If agreed, we will continue to market and show your home during this time. The buyer will be required to submit a deposit that will be held in trust by buyers agent’s brokerage.

Notify Utility Accounts: Notify utility providers and close or transfer your accounts.

Lawyer or Notary Public: Hire a lawyer or notary public to handle the legal aspects of the transaction. They will review contracts, conduct title searches, and ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. On the agreed-upon completion date, the buyer will provide the remaining funds, and ownership of the property will officially transfer.

Move Out:  Coordinate your move and ensure the property is in the agreed-upon condition at the time of possession.

Cancel Home Insurance:  Cancel your home insurance once the sale is complete.

Throughout this process, I will guide you, provide expertise, and facilitate a smooth transaction. I will update you with regular communication for you to stay informed about the progress of the sale.

Pricing Your Home

When you consider it, there are several other homes for sale competing with your property.  I will help you price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers.  The way I do this is by generating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report, which will show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your region.  You can complete my online form to get a feel for your home's market value.

Every Step of the Way

Bear in mind, I'll be working for you every step along the way to ensure you receive the greatest possible price for your house in the shortest amount of time.
