The Home Selling Process – Explained
Right now, there are not enough houses for sale, with many buyers looking at a small inventory.
So, if you’re thinking about selling your home, now is the ideal time to put your house on the market. Many houses are selling above their asking price, which means more money in your pocket.
But how do you sell your home?
First you meet with a real estate professional.
There is no commitment required on your part for an initial meeting. It will be educational and help you identify your next steps.
I’m Larry Brzostek a Broker/Associate with Re/MAX Alliance Group and I will guide you through the process.
Establish a Price
As your agent I will provide a market analysis, which will help you set an asking price.
Tips on Strategic Pricing
It’s important to review the market analysis and consider your home price objectively.
Prepare Your Home
View your home through the eyes of the buyer and ask yourself what you’d expect. I will offer some useful suggestions.
List It For Sale
When everything is in place, I will put your home in the Multiple Listing System. It’s critical for potential buyers to view your home.
I will also create a virtual tour of your home along with a youtube video.
Social media is another important tool and your home will be posted regularly.
Getting your home the most exposure:
I use Adwerx a web company that places your home on Facebook as well as throughout the web on both desktop and mobile devices.
Open Houses are scheduled at your convenience (usually on weekends) but are not always necessary to sell you home.
Tips on Showings
I like to give my seller’s at least 24 hours notice for a showing
However, Potential buyers may ask to see your home on short notice.
It’s best if you can accommodate these requests. You never want to miss a potential sale.
Offers and Negotiation
If everything goes well, a buyer (and most often the agent who represents them) will present me, your agent, with an offer.
I will present the benefits and risks of each offer. You will have the opportunity to either accept or counter any offer based on its merits.
Under Contract
At this point, you and the buyer have agreed to all of the terms and conditions of the offer and both parties have signed the agreements.
Final Details
While under contract the buyer will work with their mortgage provider to finalize the loan and perform other due diligence.
Inspection Tips
The buyer will usually perform a physical inspection of the home. They may even ask you to make certain repairs. I will explain all your options regarding the inspection.
Closing
This is the transfer of funds and ownership. Depending on when the buyer moves into the home, you will need to be all packed up and ready to move.
CONGRATUALTIONS!
You’ve successfully sold your home.
