Our Home-Selling Process
Selling your home is often a bittersweet and overwhelming time, filled with a mix of emotions as you prepare to leave a place filled with memories. To assist, we’ve developed a comprehensive home-selling process designed to deliver a smooth, efficient, and successful experience for our clients.
From the initial consultation to the closing table, your needs are paramount, and we make sure every phase is handled with care and professionalism.
1. Contact us for a Consultation
We’ll start with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals and assess your property’s unique value.
2. First Visit: Initial Property Tour
The agent who has been in contact with you will come to tour your property and give you advice on how to best prepare your home for listing. Having your home clean and tidy is helpful, but it does NOT need to be perfect at this point.
At this time, we’re simply working to get a general impression of your home and how it compares to others. We also hope to give you pointers on how to best prepare it for photos and showings.
3. Second Visit: Presenting the CMA and Providing Further Instructions
Upon returning to your home, the agent will now have a Comparative Market Analysis to discuss with you so the best list price for your home can be determined. In addition to determining the list price, your agent will also accomplish the following:
- Schedule dates for you, such as when the home will enter “coming soon” or “active” status, and when professional photos will be taken.
- Review showing time instructions with you and your preferences for WHEN your home may be viewed.
- Provide you with all paperwork to fill out. These will be available for future showing agents/buyers during your listing.
- Give you an estimated cost sheet so you can see the potential equity you may earn from the sale of your home and all costs/fees associated with the process.
4. Third Visit: Photography Shoot and Final Preparations
The final visit before your home actively enters the market is usually to both stage and then photograph your home. Our team coordinates with our preferred photographers to schedule a time for photos, and then often, one or two of us head over before that to decorate and provide finishing touches to your home the day of the photo shoot. Additionally, we’ll:
- Measure all rooms for accurate listing records.
- Collect all completed paperwork from our last visit.
- Install the lockbox on your preferred door.
- Put up the for sale sign!
5. Fourth and Most Exciting Visit: Presentation of Offers!
Should your home make an excellent impression on buyers and an offer(s) is received, your agent will then set up an appointment to review. It’s best to do this in person, as offers— especially in this highly competitive market—can be rather complex. We do our best to break all offers down so you may understand the true potential of what has been received and educate you on all facets.
Additionally, should you receive more than one offer, our guidance will help you compare and contrast the pros and cons of each. Choosing an offer is ultimately your decision, but it’s best to be well-educated on the contract that you are choosing.
