Seller's Guide

A Stress-Free Guide to Selling Your Home

Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of an experienced agent and this easy to follow guide, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.​​​​​​​

Step 1: Prep to Sell

Prepare your home to make its debut on the market.

It is essential to have your home ready for market on day one. I will help you make sure your home is ready for showings and to go live by completing repairs that need to be done, decluttering & removing personal items, and making sure the home is clean and smells fresh. We are selling a dream of homeownership, and the dream of homeownership does not include trimming trees back from the roof of your house, painting, and removing your wallpaper.

Step 2: Home Staging

83% of Realtors said staging made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

Staging a home is a strategic marketing tool used by sellers to help buyers envision themselves living in your home, and create an emotional connection. Staging is more than just putting a new welcome mat in front of the door and getting new throw pillows — when done correctly it can help a home sell for more money in a shorter amount of time.

Step 3: Price It Right

Review comparable homes and establish a price for your home.

Pricing your home correctly the FIRST time might be the single most important step to getting your home sold fast. The first 2 weeks of listing your home yield the highest point of opportunity to sell your home for top dollar and all factors need to be just right.

Step 4: Photos & Video

The photos of your home directly influence whether or not a potential buyer will schedule a showing of your home or not. Today, your first showing is always ONLINE, which is why it is crucial to have high-quality, attractive photos of your home showcasing the best qualities and features of your home to stand out from the competition.

Step 5: Live on MLS

Your home will go live on the MLS and will be viewable to the most potential buyers.

Step 6: Marketing

We will use a strategic marketing plan and our expansive network to ensure maximum exposure for your property. This includes print marketing, where highly informative and creative property flyers will be displayed inside your home, helping potential buyers remember key features after viewing multiple listings. Additionally, high-quality flyers and postcards may be used to generate interest in targeted areas. Through social media marketing, we leverage platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to put your home in the hands of millions of potential buyers and agents, utilizing both paid ads and organic reach to maximize exposure. Video content plays a crucial role, as platforms prioritize video in feeds, enhancing engagement. Lastly, our targeted networking ensures your home reaches the right audience, increasing awareness and generating interest effectively and efficiently.

Step 7: Receive an Offer

We will review all offers and help you understand all the terms of the contract, as well as handle all of the paperwork.

Step 8: Under Contract

Once you accept an offer, the exciting next step begins—your home will officially be under contract! This means you and the buyer have agreed on the terms of the sale, and both parties are now committed to moving forward. During this time, key steps such as inspections, appraisals, and finalizing financing will take place, all working towards ensuring a smooth closing process. Being under contract signifies a significant milestone in your home-selling journey, bringing you one step closer to successfully completing the sale.

Step 9: Negotiations

Buyers typically include an inspection contingency in their offer. Once the inspections are complete, we will carefully review and negotiate any repair requests or credit adjustments proposed by the buyer to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

Step 10: Closing Day!

Hooray! Time to hand over your keys and celebrate selling your home.

Congratulations!

Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.
