THE SELLING PROCESS

welcome to what’s next

STEP 1

Evaluating Your Home

The first step in selling your home is assessing its current condition.
Identifying upgrades that could boost your home’s value can make a significant impact.
We’ll walk through the property together, review any findings, and outline your best options to ensure your home is market-ready.

STEP 2

Establishing an Asking Price

Setting a competitive list price is a key factor in achieving a successful sale.
Several elements influence pricing—such as location, property condition, age, market demand, and current local trends. We’ll also
conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to review recent sales of similar homes in your area,
offering valuable insight into buyer expectations.

STEP 3

GETTING READY TO SELL

Preparing your home for sale can make a meaningful difference in the
offers you receive. Key areas to focus on include maintenance, thoughtful upgrades, and presentation. This may involve decluttering, minor repairs, fresh paint, or landscaping improvements. Professional staging can also enhance appeal, highlighting your home’s best features and helping it stand out to potential buyers.

and the right offer.

STEP 5

SHOWING YOUR HOME

Once listed, your home will be available for showings—and potentially an open house.
While sellers typically aren’t present during tours, all appointments will be scheduled in advance at times that work for you.

STEP 6

Receiving Offers

Once a buyer submits an offer, you’ll have the option to accept, counter, or decline. Negotiations may include price, concessions, or financing. Once an agreement is reached, your home will be officially under contract.

STEP 7

Appraisal & Inspection

Once an agreement is in place, the buyer will usually arrange a home inspection and appraisal to
confirm the property's condition and value. These steps are standard and offer an opportunity to ensure a smooth closing.

STEP 8

Closing Day

Closing day is here! Once the buyer’s lender gives final approval,
you’ll sign the documents to complete the sale.
After all parties have signed and the deal has been funded, your home will officially be sold. Congratulations!

Showing YOUR HOME

Once your home has been listed, home showings will begin. It may also be advantageous to hold an open house. Typically, the homeowner is not present for home showings, but you will be notified in advance of any appointments, and showings can be scheduled during specific times to avoid inconvenience. This creates an inviting and welcoming atmosphere for buyers touring the home.
