A Home Seller's Guide
Exclusive sellers services
For Sellers: My priority is not only the successful sale of your home but more importantly, to ensure your real estate experience is satisfying and as stress-free as possible. At the selling consultation, it is important for me to find out exactly why you are selling your home and how soon you need it sold. This information is important because it will help me determine the best marketing and pricing strategy based on your needs.
The home selling process
HIRE US!
Selling a home requires expertise. As your Realtor® through my extensive network of clients, industry relationships, community connections, and a custom, multi-channel marketing approach, I will help you articulate, position, and share the unique story of your property. Every listing has a story and my marketing strategy enables us to strategically target and share that story.
In today’s market having an eye on the future and being innovative is a must to stay ahead of market trends. My commitment to you is to provide exceptional service and deliver results.
GATHERING PAPERWORK
We will discuss recommendations and a To-Do list, prior to setting the date for photography and videography. This also may include completing any necessary inspections or repairs. Most documents you will need to gather will be from your HOA (if applicable) and your mortgage company for the payoff amount. We will also go over disclosures and other documents required for the sale.
HOME TO SELL!
A listing generates the most interest for buyers when it first goes on the market. Correct pricing is key, as Certified Pricing Specialist, I complete a comprehensive market analysis to price your home accurately.
- Starting too high and dropping the price can hurt your listing. Buyers are often hesitant to buy homes that have been sitting on the market longer than other homes and will try to negotiate pricing down even more.
- Competitive pricing and marketing generates the most showings, offers and least days on the market.
THE RIGHT BUYERS
Our exclusive marketing plan, is a detailed process with
multiple components that we will present to you at the listing appointment. One part of that process is our visual marketing plan that is comprised of:
- Photography
- Aerial Displays
- Videography
- Virtual Tours
- Floor Plans
- Staging
- Open houses
- Signage
- Anticipation Marketing
ACCEPTANCE!
Once you receive an offer or perhaps multiples, we will determine at that time, the next steps. In multiple offer situations we may set a deadline for other buyers to submit their highest and best offer by a certain date and time.
- When reviewing we will go over all terms in the Purchase Agreement and net profit of each.
- Some offers may be more advantageous than others with fewer contingencies, stronger financing etc.
- As your advocate I will help you determine which offer is best for you.
APPRAISALS
The Purchase Agreement may be contingent on the buyer conducting a home inspection of the property.
- Timeline for this will be determined in the Purchase Agreement (typically 5-10 days).
- Requests for repairs or further negotiations following the inspection may arise if the buyer is obtaining financing.
Their lender will send an appraiser out to do a valuation of the home.
- Results are given usually within 7-10 days.
- If the appraisal comes in lower than the sale price, additional negotiations will take place.
- Once this process is complete most of what occurs takes place behind the scenes.
- Onward to closing!
THE MOVE
Prior to closing the buyer should conduct a final walk through. This time is for the buyers to check that the home is move-in ready, and any requests or personal property that were negotiated have been addressed or are present.
- Typically done the day before, or day of closing.
- If you are not already moved out of property, please follow terms of contract.
- Contact all of your utility providers to stop, start or transfer services. Also, be sure to change your address and forward mail.
CLOSING DAY
The title company will let you know what you will need to bring to closing. In some cases you may have already pre-signed your documents.
- Closing typically takes an hour.
- Funds are wired into your account! Cha-Ching!! Collect your coins and onward to new beginnings!!
- Title officially passes to the buyer.
