Seller's Guide

Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the beginning, you’ll get the most interest from other real estate agents and prospective buyers. Overpricing your home could lead to reduced interest, and underpricing leads to receiving less than what your home is worth. Working with a real estate agent is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. An agent with experience can determine what other comparable homes are selling for, evaluate the current market, and may even suggest a home appraisal.

We will develop a marketing strategy that is perfect for advertising your home. This involves listing the home and then driving the right people to that listing through social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, or SEO advertising. Our team creates a marketing campaign that aims to get the most possible traffic to your listing in the first three weeks after becoming a client.

With the sale moving toward closing, it’s time to start preparing for the transition. If there are any repairs or other items you agreed to complete as part of the sale, we’ll help keep those on track and make sure they’re completed as expected. This is also the time to focus on your move. Start packing, arrange for movers or storage if needed, and plan for the home to be fully cleared out by the agreed-upon date. You’ll also want to schedule the cancellation or transfer of utilities, internet, lawn care, trash service, and other services tied to the property. We’ll stay in touch throughout this stage and help make sure there are no last-minute surprises as you get ready to hand over the home.

You’ve reached the last step in the seller’s process. When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. I will meet with the company closing the transaction to sign the final paperwork and go over any issues that have not yet been taken care of. During this time, you can also make plans with your real estate agent to handle final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and lawn or trash services, changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.
