Ready To Sell?
Step 1:
-
Price your home correctly (you'll need a great agent who knows the current market in your area!)
​
Step 2:
-
Prepare your home by cleaning, decluttering, hiding family photos, creating more space, and improving the curb appeal!
Step 3:
-
Your listing agent should employ proven marketing techniques in order to sell your home for the highest price and ideally in the shortest amount of time.
​
Step 4:
-
Consider hiring a stager to showcase your home's best features in order to impress buyers.
Step 5:
-
Once you accept an offer, you will sign and date a legally binding contract between you and the buyer.
​
Step 6:
-
The listing agent (usually) will open title with your preferred title company, and they will act as a third party in the transaction, gathering all necessary documents from each party.
Step 7:
-
A home inspection will then take place to identify any structural and safety defects. Afterwards, there may be negotiations regarding costs towards repairs.
​
Step 8:
-
An appraisal is used to determine if the purchase price is appropriate based on the home's condition, location, etc.
​
Step 9:
-
Once all paperwork has been signed and funds have been disbursed, the buyer is now the new owner of the property.
