selling process

Step 1: Choose a Realtor

Having decided to sell your home, the first step in the process is to select the Realtor® with whom you will be comfortable working with to get the job done. During our first meeting, I will listen to your requirements, share my marketing strategy and walk you through the selling process.

Make Your Home Shine

Keep It Clean
A faded interior usually reduces the appeal. Consider cleaning or painting if necessary.

Brighter Is Better
Let the sunshine in! Open drapes, clean windows and turn on lights.

Create Curb Appeal
Keep front landscape neat to make a good first impression.

Kitchens and Baths
Make them sparkle! Keep counters clear and repair any leaking faucets and caulking.

Space is Important
Show off your closet and storage areas by keeping them well organized.

Attend to the Details
Little things mean a lot. Fix minor flaws such as sticky or squeaking doors and loose knobs.

 

Step 2: Prepare your home for sale

We will discuss how to best prepare your home for sale. This includes which reports to order, disclosure items, as well as the cost effectiveness of repairs and staging when applicable.

Step 3: Price your home

In order to establish a strategic list price we must pay careful attention to factors such as the home evaluation (or comparative market analysis - an analysis of competing homes currently on the market and recently sold), your time frame and personal requirements as well as local market conditions.

Step 4: Market your home

My aggressive marketing techniques combine traditional and new media channels to ensure that information about your home reaches the widest possible pool of potential buyers. My marketing strategy will be tailored to your property and to your requirements.

Step 5: Sell your home

After an offer is received I will assist you in evaluating your options and negotiating with the buyer.

Step 6: Close escrow

Once a contract is signed by all parties, I will manage the escrow process. During this time, it is important to maintain communication, monitor all paperwork and make sure contingencies are removed according to the contract.
