- A listing generates the most interest for buyers when it first goes on the market
Correct pricing is key
- 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
- Competitive pricing generates the most showings and offers
Physical Aspects of the Property
- Location, age, size of house and lot, condition, floor plan, updates to home & it's architectural style
Current Market Conditions

- Buyer demand
- Recently sold properties
Competition
- The similar properties for sale in the area
- The majority of buyers are seeking out properties that are "move-in" ready De-cluttering & staging helps them visualize themselves living in your space
- Staged homes on average sell 3X faster
- Staged homes help to increase perceived value
- Listing photos are really a first "showing" for prospective buyers. It's important to have professional photos that make a great first impression
- Professional photography

Once you receive an offer or perhaps multiples, we will determine a time to review. In multiple offers 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
- 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
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 7- 10 days)
- Requests for repairs or further negotiations following the inspection may arise
If the buyer is financing, their lender will send an appraiser out to do a valuation on the home.
- Results are given usually within 7-10 days.
- If the appraisal comes in lower than the sales price additional negotiations will take place
- Once this process is complete most of what occurs takes place behind the scenes
- Onward to closing!
- Transfer or cancel Internet & TV
- Schedule utilities to be disconnected 3 days after closing
- Submit change of address form with post office
- Change your address with the IRS and creditors
- Exchange your new address with family and friends
- Update insurance policies (home, auto, etc )
- Update drivers license
- Change addresses for online shopping and services
Prior to closing the buyer may choose to do a final walkthrough. 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
Your 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
- Title officially passes to the buyer
