MY PROCESS
When It’s Time to Sell, You’ll Be Prepared
Sellers who succeed in today’s market don’t rush at the last minute to list their homes. That’s why my approach is to prepare you for selling your house, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or six months from now. Here’s what you can expect from me.
1
Meet with Your Agent
The first step in selling your home is to meet with your real estate agent. During this meeting, we'll discuss your specific needs and goals for the sale. I will conduct thorough research using Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) to understand the current market trends and determine a competitive list price for your home. Setting the right price from the beginning is crucial to attract potential buyers and achieve a successful sale.
2
Prepare to List
Before listing your home, it's essential to make it as appealing as possible. This includes deep cleaning and decluttering to create a welcoming environment. Any necessary repairs should be addressed to avoid potential buyer objections. Additionally, focusing on curb appeal can significantly impact a buyer's first impression. We will also discuss staging your home to highlight its best features and make it more attractive to buyers.
3
Imagery
Professional imagery is a key component of a successful home sale. I will arrange for a professional photo session, video session, and drone session to capture high-quality images and videos of your property. These visuals will be used in marketing materials to showcase your home in the best possible light, attracting more potential buyers and increasing interest.
4
Marketing
Effective marketing is crucial to reaching a wide audience. I will implement a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes online marketing, social media promotion, signage, and flyers. This multi-faceted approach ensures that your home gets maximum exposure, drawing in potential buyers from various channels and increasing the likelihood of a quick sale.
5
Showings
Preparing your home for showings is an important step in the selling process. We will ensure your home is always ready to impress potential buyers. I will coordinate and schedule open houses, and we will gather feedback from agents after each showing. This feedback is valuable for making any necessary adjustments to enhance your home's appeal.
6
Receive an Offer
When offers start coming in, I will present each one to you and discuss the benefits and risks associated with each offer. We will carefully evaluate the terms and conditions to determine the best option for you. This stage involves thorough analysis and strategic decision-making to ensure you accept the offer that aligns with your goals.
7
Negotiate
Negotiations are often required both before and after inspections. I will handle all negotiations on your behalf, working to get you the best possible terms. Whether it's addressing buyer concerns or countering offers, I will advocate for your interests. You will have the option to accept, counter, or deny any offer presented to you.
8
Inspections & Appraisal
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer will order an inspection and appraisal of your home. I will work with the buyer's agent to coordinate and schedule these appointments. The inspection and appraisal are critical steps that can influence the final sale price and any potential repairs that may be needed.
9
Repairs
After the inspection, there may be some small repairs required. I will provide a list of recommended vendors to help you address these repairs quickly and efficiently. Taking care of these issues promptly ensures that the sale process continues smoothly and prevents any delays.
10
Closing
The final step in the selling process is closing. This involves a final walk-through of the property to ensure everything is in order, signing the closing documents, and handing over the keys to the new owner. I will guide you through each step of the closing process to ensure a seamless transition and successful sale.
