Seller's Guide

A Step-by-Step First Time Seller's Guide

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: Understand Why You're Selling

Are you selling your home because you've outgrown it and want to purchase a larger or nicer home, but have some time? Do you need to sell as soon as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Once you understand your needs, you can better craft your offer. For example, if you need to sell quickly, you might want to price your home lower than if your goal is to make a certain profit margin. Make sure you convey these needs to your Real Estate Agent so he or she can adjust your selling price accordingly.

Step 2: Determine Selling Price

Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the start, you’ll get the most interest from other Real Estate Agents and prospective buyers. Overpricing your home could lead to reduced interest, and underpricing will bring in offers that are way below the value of your home. Working with a Real Estate Agent is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. An agent with experience can determine what other comparable homes are selling for, evaluate the current market, and may even suggest a home appraisal.

Step 3: Start Preparations

If you’ve kept your home in showroom condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Once you price your home, it’s time to start getting it ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space so that buyers can envision themselves in the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition.

Step 4: Develop a Marketing Strategy

I will develop a strategy that will make your home stand out and get noticed. This involves listing the home and then driving the right people to that listing through social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, or SEO advertising. My team creates a marketing campaign that aims to get the most possible traffic to your listing in the first three weeks after becoming a client. It may also include staging your home.

Step 5: Evaluate Offers

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. I will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low, you can make a counter-offer or offer other ways to bridge the gap, such as covering some or all of the closing costs, making repairs, adjusting the move-in date, or leaving some appliances or fixtures for the new buyer.

Step 6: Accept an Offer

Once the offer is accepted, I will draft a deal sheet that includes all the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection rights and repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared by your attorney.

Step 7: Get Ready to Close

Now, it’s time for you and the buyer to work together to create a checklist of tasks that need to be completed before closing. Depending on the circumstances, your home may require an inspection, survey, or appraisal. There may also be some repairs, big or small, that need to be addressed before the sale can be finalized. I'll take the lead in organizing and managing this process, ensuring that each task is assigned to the appropriate party and that everything is taken care of ahead of the closing date. A few days before closing, I’ll personally reach out to the title company to confirm that all is in order. If you haven't already, be sure to make your moving arrangements so the home is ready for the new buyer to take possession. I'm here to help every step of the way!

Step 8: Close

You're now at the final step of the selling process! Closing on your home means you're officially transferring ownership to the new buyer. I’ll be there to meet with the closing company, review the final paperwork, and address any outstanding issues that may need attention. During this time, we can also work together to wrap up the remaining details, such as canceling utilities, cable, and other services, updating account names for services the new owner will keep, and providing the new homeowner with any necessary instructions for appliances that will remain in the home. I'm here to ensure everything goes smoothly and that all the final pieces are taken care of with ease.

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.
