Deciding to Sell

Congratulations, you've made the decision to move on.

Market Valuation

Choosing a Price

Determining the Perfect/Appropriate Price for your home - A price that will let you walk away with what is needed for your next purchase while staying in the territory of the fair market

Preparing to sell

Preparing your home to be a Masterpiece for Showings – We will make your property most appealing to buyers, while being cost effective. “Showroom” condition – removing any clutter, large furniture pieces, ornate decorating and making sure there are no pet or smoke odors is imperative. A buyer needs to vision their personal touch in your place – decluttering and cleaning give them a template to do that. Making an investment in new paint, and even some small furnishings can help to sell your home.

marketing your home

Advertise your Home – We will create a marketing plan specific to your home. You want to get the word out to as many people as possible. Your agent knows the mediums in which to do that properly.

offers

This is the most exciting step to selling but keep in mind this marks the beginning of a whole new phase. We are there for you during every step. This is where the paperwork and negations begin. This is where your agent will make sure the potential buyer is qualified.

negotiation

This stage can, in some cases take days or weeks. Most offers require some level of negotiation. Negotiations can happen in phases – including attorney review, home inspection and repairs, and the bank approval process for the buyer.

closing

This is where we tie up any loose ends. At this point all the paperwork should be signed and fully executed. The bank will clear the buyer to close and they will schedule a final walk-through during this stage. Your home will be clean and vacant at this point. Your agent will also help you figure out when utilities need to be switched. This is where ownership officially changes hands.
