Agent Name

Start your journey by teaming up with a local real estate expert who knows the ins and outs of the market. Leveraging their in-depth knowledge and experience, your agent will conduct a wants-and-needs analysis to help you establish your home search criteria and explore what’s possible within your budget.

Before diving into your search, you will want to secure a pre-approval from a local lender with a great reputation amongst local agents and a proven track record of success. A trusted lender not only helps establish your budget, but also ensures that your loan closes on time, which is critical in a competitive market like ours.

Guided by your agent’s expertise, you’ll explore homes that align with your needs, lifestyle, and budget. Whether it’s helping you uncover hidden gems or providing insights on up-and-coming neighborhoods, your agent will ensure you’re seeing properties that are the right fit for your specific scenario.

When you’ve identified a property of interest, your agent will review all disclosures and inspections with you to assess the property’s condition and history. They will also prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you understand the home’s market value based on recent sales of similar properties, the disclosures, and the property’s condition.

Crafting a winning offer requires both strategy and expertise. With your experienced buyer team’s strong reputation and established relationships in the local market, you’ll have an edge over the competition. By leveraging these connections along with strategic pricing and favorable terms, your offer will stand out and have the best chance of success in our highly competitive market.

With your agent’s strong reputation and established relationships in the local market, your offer will have a competitive edge. Once your offer has been submitted, we will diligently follow up with the Seller’s Agent to gauge the strength of your offer and gather any intel to share with you so you can stay in the competition if your initial offer does not place us in a good position.

Once your offer is accepted, your agent will proactively guide the transaction, addressing potential issues before they arise and ensuring every detail is handled with care. Throughout the process, they will oversee inspections, appraisals, loan processing, and final approvals, providing a pleasurable and stress-free experience. With expert oversight, you can trust that all critical details are taken care of professionally, ensuring a smooth and timely close.

After closing, your agent will hand you the keys to your new home, marking the moment you’ve been waiting for. Celebrate this exciting milestone and the achievement of homeownership as you embark on the next chapter in your new space.

What do you want to accomplish with the sale of your home? Do you want to make a certain amount of money that you can put toward a larger or nicer home? Do you need to sell it as soon as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Once you understand your needs, you can better craft your offer. For example, if you need to sell quickly, you might want to price your home lower than if your goal is to make a certain profit margin. Make sure you convey these needs to your team of real estate agents once you choose one so they can adjust your selling price accordingly.

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 team of real estate agents is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. A team of real estate agents with experience can determine what other comparable homes are selling for, evaluate the current market, and may even suggest a home appraisal.

If you’ve kept your home in showroom condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Once you price your home, it’s time to start getting it ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space so that buyers can envision themselves in the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition.

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.

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low, you can make a counter-offer or offer other ways to bridge the gap, such as covering some or all of the closing costs, making repairs, adjusting the move-in date, or leaving some appliances or fixtures for the new buyer.

Once we deem the offer is acceptable, we will review the proposed contract to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection rights and repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared by your team of real estate agents.

You have accepted an offer and are now very close to the end of your selling journey. But first, you and the buyer must make a list of what needs to be done before closing. In some cases, your home may need to be formally inspected, surveyed, and appraised. In other cases, major or minor repairs will need to be made before the house can close. We will head up efforts to develop and execute this list, get each action item paid for by the correct party, and make sure everything is in order by the closing date. A few days before the closing date, we will call the company closing the transaction to make sure everything is ready to go. If you haven’t done so already, you also need to make arrangements to move out of the home so the new buyer can take possession.

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. We 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 team of real estate agents 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.
