Selling Process

Love it.

THE PROCESS

15 Steps to SOLD! Step 1

Consultation During our C O M PLI M E NTA RY C O N S U LTATI O N we will tour your home and go over what needs to be done to prepare it to sell. I will share the comps in your area with a comparative market analysis(CMA), and discuss strategic pricing and my marketing strategy that will sell your home for top dollar quickly.

Step 2

Marketing Strategies Our M A R K E TI N G will go above & beyond, starting with putting a sign in the yard and placing it in the MLS. We take pride in our custom marketing strategies. Your home will be showcased on social media, email, video & print marketing. We want to meet every possible buyer wherever they might be looking.

Step 3

Staging & Pre-Inspection The goal of STAG I N G is having a trained eye come into your home and look at it as a buyer would. My ability to stage for the market will get your home show ready. We look at staging like we are creating a neutral palette, so that all buyers can envision themselves living there.

A PR E- I N S PECTI O N will be done so that the buyers will have confidence to make an offer on the home.

Step 4

Photography & Videography Many times a buyer has already decided if they are interested in your home just from the pictures online, without ever stepping foot inside. Our PH OTO G R A PHY partners are the best at coming into your home and capturing it at its absolute best. Now, the pre-marketing can begin.

Step 5

Coming Soon & Firm Exclusive If applicable, we can list your home as “C O M I N G SO O N ” in MLS. This will give buyers a sneak peek into your home before it is officially ready to show.

FI R M E XC LU S IVE is another option for the most discerning clients. Your home will be marketed within our firm to

all of our brokers.

Step 6

Active On Market Now that we have completed all the steps to prepare your home for market, it’s time to go LIVE . Our marketing plan will also go live and your home will be presented to thousands across our market as well as the world with our Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® global network.

Step 7

Showings / Open House Keeping your home show ready is the key to being sold quickly. I will share tips with you to keep the guess work out of making sure you are ready for all S H OWI N G S . Keeping a clean, shiny, and clutter-free home will ensure buyers only see the best things about your home.

THE PROCESS

15 Steps to SOLD! Step 8

Offers I will be your guide in looking through all presented O FFE R S . There are many things to consider and price is just one of them. I will help you decide which one best accommodates your needs and timeline.

Step 9

Negotiating One of the top reasons to hire a licensed broker is for the next step: N EG OTI ATI N G . I am aware of market trends in our area and can help negotiate the best offer for your home based on the current market and your needs.

Step 10

Inspections Once the offer is accepted it is time for I N S PECTI O N S . These will take place within the first 2-10 days after an offer is accepted, or during the due diligence period. The buyer will pay an inspector to look through the entire property and list all things the home could need. Big and small things will be on the list. The report will be sent to the buyers for review with their agent. Buyers may or may not try to negotiate items for repair on the list. Once all parties have an agreement, we move on to the next step: A PPR A I SA L .

Step 11

Appraisal If the buyer is utilizing a loan, then an A PPR A I SA L will be ordered by the loan officer. These are often chosen at random from a pool of appraisers. The goal is to have the appraisal come in at or above the purchase price of the contract so the mortgage lender will approve the loan. It is important the home be in tip top shape at the time of the appraisal.

Step 12

Title & Utilities The TITLE company will make sure the home title is clean for the closing. This means they will look over all paperwork to be sure there are no liens on the property, no extra names on the title, and prepare for closing. They will work with the lender to ensure everything is ready for closing day.

You will want to schedule the transfer and/or shut off all UTI LITI E S for closing day or the day after. This should be set-up at least 2 weeks prior to closing.

Step 13

Final Walk-Through The buyers will do their FI N A L WA LK-TH RO U G H up to 4 days prior to closing. This is to make sure all negotiated items have been completed, that the home is clean, and all is as it should be.

Step 14

Closing Congratulations, you have made it to closing day! C LO S I N G is when the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction is signed. The papers are signed at the real estate attorney’s office and the title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Once funded, the buyer receives the keys, and the seller receives payment for the home.

Step 15

Welc"e H"e!
