Step 1: Decide to Sell 

When you sell, you want to get as much value as you can for your home. It’s important that you sell at the “right time”. The market plays an important role in this process.

Step 2: Work with a Reliable Agent

Now it’s time to look for a good agent. It is important to choose wisely. The realtor will be acting as your representative in your transaction, and you will need someone to look out for your best interests. You will need someone that you can trust and someone who understands what you want.  This step is easy, just give us a call!

Step 3: List your Home

Now that you’ve found the perfect real estate agent, they will list your home. First they will value your house and set a price. A report on market data will be complied to properly value your home based on the prices in your area.

Once they’ve done that the agent will market your home through various media outlets and listing sites to create strong buyer interest. They can post on Multiple Listing Service (MLS), social media, blogs, and websites.

Step 4: Receive an Offer

Not all offers are equal and that’s where your real estate agent comes in. They will help you get to know the terms and conditions regarding the price that the buyer wants to pay, financing conditions, or other things like inclusions and exclusions that the buyer wants to make.

Not only is it about the price of the home, but you have to carefully look at the other details included in the sale. Appliances, chandeliers, or even minor renovations can also be part of the deal. Shorter or longer closing dates can also be specified by the buyer.

If there is something in the offer that doesn’t satisfy you, counter offers, or negotiations can also be presented to help get you what you want.

Trust your realtor’s advice during this process. They know best!

Step 5: Close the Sale

Now the final step- Close the Sale! There will be closing costs associated with the sale that need to be paid either by or on the closing date. It can include mortgage application fees, inspections, and legal fees. But once that’s taken care of, you can pass your old keys to the new owners. Congrats! You’ve officially sold your house!’s
