SELLING
YOUR HOME
Selling your home is a huge decision and putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don't know what to expect. Whether you're looking to sell an investment property, move up or downsize, the agent that you partner with will have a significant impact on not only your results but also the experience. Below is a blueprint to help you prepare for listing your home.
Step 1: Determine Why You're Selling
​
What are you looking to accomplish in selling your home? Are you ready for your next home, whether smaller or larger? What kind of timeframe are you thinking? Are you looking for a quicker sale or can you wait for the right price? Once you've got an understanding of why you're selling, be sure to share these goals with your agent so that they can adjust the strategy.
Step 2: Understand Your Selling Price
​
Once you've determined that you're ready to sell, knowing what price your home will sell for is a key part of the process. Overpricing a home will have a significant effect on the interest your home receives while underpricing will lead to potentially selling your home for less than it's worth. An experienced agent will be able to combine all aspects including the current market trends as well as recent comparable sales to establish not only what you can sell for, but what listing price will bring the most attention.
Step 3: Get Your Home
Ready For The Market​
​
Getting the most for your home means connecting with the most buyers. By showcasing your home in its best light, buyers will be more willing to pay a premium price. Decluttering, making small repairs & performing a deep cleaning will help set your home up for success. Our network of stagers, contractors & service providers helps keep costs low while showcasing a premium product.
Step 4: Establish Your
Marketing Strategy
​
Every home is different, which means that every home requires a unique strategy. By combining traditional methods of marketing with digital, social media, and agent-to-agent networking, our marketing campaigns drive the highest possible amount of traffic. Oftentimes, our listings receive more than double the number of views & leads of competing homes.
Step 5: Managing Offers ​
​
As buyers connect with your home, you'll start receiving interested parties. Depending on the level of interest, a deadline for buyers to submit offers may be necessary. While your home listed is on the market, we will be following up with every single agent whose clients view the home to qualify the leads & ensure that the offers we are receiving are not only the best price & terms but also that they will in fact close.
Step 6: Escrow & Closing
​
Once we accept an offer, we'll move into the escrow period. During this time, your home will likely have inspections take place, as well as appraisals. Once the buyer's loan is approved & all contingencies are removed, we'll move into the closing period. This is where you'll sign transfer documents, cancel utilities, receive your funds and at the end of escrow, pass on the keys to the new homeowner. Congratulations!
