STEP 2: DETERMINE SELLING PRICE
Pricing your home is part science and part skill.
Knowing the current market environment is critical in order to sell your home for the best possible price, there are several factors to consider:
-
Time of Year
-
Supply
-
Demand
-
Condition of Your Home
STEP 3: START PREPARATIONS
If you’ve kept your home in top condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Life gets away from us and often home improvements or repairs get put on the back burner. Once you are on the market, your house needs to be ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space so that buyers can envision themselves in the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition. You only get one chance at first impressions.
STEP 4: DEVELOP A MARKETING STRATEGY
I will develop a marketing strategy specific to advertising your investment. This involves listing the home on the local/national Multiple Listing Service, and using social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, and/or SEO advertising to send potential buyers to your house. My team creates a marketing campaigns that aim to get the most potential traffic to your listing as quickly as possible.
STEP 5: EVALUATE OFFERS
Receiving an offer can be an exciting part of the process, but it when multiple offers are received, we will help you navigate what the actual offers represents to achieving your selling goals. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low or contengies are unfavorable, I will help you can make a counter-offer, negotiate on your behalf, and keep you informed each step of the way.
STEP 6: ACCEPT AN OFFER
Once the offer is selected and negotiated, I will review the proposed contract with you to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection rights and repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared and executed.
READY TO PUT YOUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET?
Consult with me, your local real estate agent, to ensure your house is priced competitively and well-staged. While there are always three factors to getting a home sold...
-
location
-
price
-
condition
...only two are within your control: price and condition. Of the two, price is more significant. Remember that price will correct bad condition, but condition will never overcome a bad price.
