Seller's Guide

Take a moment to define what you hope to achieve with your home sale. Are you aiming to make a specific profit to invest in a larger or upgraded home? Or do you need a quick sale to support a move to a new city? Understanding your priorities will help shape a realistic offer. For example, if timing is crucial, you may want to price your home more competitively than if your focus is on maximizing profit. By sharing your goals with us, we’ll create a strategy that fully supports your needs and timeline.

If you've kept your home in showroom condition over the years, you're in the minority! Once you've set your price, the next step is to prepare your home for potential buyers. This means removing clutter, depersonalizing the space to help buyers envision themselves there, handling small repairs, and giving everything a deep clean to present your home at its best. For added convenience, we’ve prepared a handy To-Do list to guide you through each step. Now is also the ideal time to select a title company, which will handle the closing process when the sale is finalized.

Receiving an offer is an exciting milestone, but there are still important steps ahead. Together, we’ll review each offer to ensure that the buyer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that the terms align with your goals. If an offer is lower than expected, we’ll work with you to explore ways to bridge the gap. Options might include making a counter-offer, covering some closing costs, offering to make repairs, adjusting the move-in date, or including certain appliances or fixtures for the buyer.

You’ve accepted an offer and are now close to completing your selling journey! Before closing, both you and the buyer will need to address a few final details. This may include formal inspections, surveys, appraisals, or any agreed-upon repairs. Our team will take the lead in coordinating and managing these tasks, ensuring that each item is handled by the appropriate party and completed on time.

Since it typically takes 30 to 40 days to close, it’s important for you to start planning your move as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition. A few days before closing, we’ll confirm with the closing company that everything is ready to go, so you can feel confident heading into the final step.
