The Selling Process
We take the hassle out of selling your home. From our first conversation to the closing table, here is exactly how we manage your sale — keeping it moving quickly and smoothly, and answering every question along the way.
1
Find an agent and team who truly have great people skills and a genuine desire to help whenever they are needed.
2
Understand which home improvements add value and which you can skip before listing, so your prep dollars work hardest.
3
Decide together which pre-listing inspections are worthwhile to complete up front to avoid surprises later.
4
Review comparable properties so your agent can position and price your home accurately for today’s market.
5
Fill in a detailed Seller’s Disclosure and review the Estimated Seller Proceeds your agent prepares for you.
6
Place your agent’s lockbox with a key inside so qualified showings can be scheduled with ease.
7
Tidy, clean, and declutter so the property is photo-ready for your agent’s professional photographer.
8
Allow your agent to place the For Sale sign and launch the marketing materials they have created for your home.
9
Review your home’s MLS listing and syndication to sites like Zillow, featuring your 25 best photos.
10
Work with your agent to approve and coordinate showing requests as they come in. You stay in control.
11
Make sure your home looks as good as possible for every open house and private showing.
12
Once you receive an offer — or multiple offers — review each one carefully with your agent and compare terms.
13
Settle on the offer that works best for you, and confirm the buyer’s earnest money is on its way.
14
Provide the necessary paperwork, including mortgage payoff and tax information, to the title company.
15
Make sure your agent lets you know when the title company receives the buyer’s earnest money deposit.
16
Allow the buyers to conduct an inspection of your property. Neither you nor your agent should be working here.
17
Review the inspection report and reply, deciding which items you are willing to address or credit.
18
Sign any official Change in Terms Addendum covering agreed repairs, credits, or other changes to the agreement.
19
Allow the buyer’s appraiser to conduct an appraisal of your property on behalf of their lender.
20
Sign an updated seller’s net sheet reflecting the final numbers your agent has prepared for closing.
21
Work through any final negotiations so the terms remain agreeable and fair to you.
22
Have any agreed-upon or requested repairs completed prior to the buyer’s final walk-through.
23
Follow any directions from the title company as the closing date approaches.
24
Schedule a moving company so your home is comfortably empty before the final walk-through.
25
Sign the closing package at the title company, hand over the keys, and celebrate a successful sale.
