The Home Selling Process


So you want to sell your home?  It's a big step.

How do you begin – what do you do – what should you expect?

Whether you’ve sold houses in the past or this is your first experience as a home seller, the process looks simple but can be very complex. 

Here is a road map of the basic steps involved in selling a home:

 

  1. Interview/select an agent.  We believe this should be your first step.  Everything that comes after will go much more smoothly if you have experienced representation and assistance.  For each of the steps below, we can provide expert advice and suggestions to make the process go more smoothly. 
  2. Make repairs or improvements that will increase the marketability of your home.
  3. Determine an asking price.
  4. Plan a marketing strategy.
  5. Review financing options, including seller financing or assistance with closing costs.
  6. List your home for sale.
  7. Permit your home to be shown to prospective, financially qualified buyers.
  8. Consider offers & negotiate a sales contract.
  9. Cooperate with buyers to fulfill contract terms - allowing inspectors, appraisers, & surveyors access to your property.
  10. Negotiate inspection issues, as necessary.
  11. Plan your move. 
  12. Move out.  Leave property clean and fresh for new owners.
  13. Attend settlement/closing. 
  14. Celebrate!
