the process

Preparation

Your REALTOR® will help you decide how to best prepare your home for sale by recommending things like staging or de-cluttering. Additionally discussed, will be your home’s best features and areas of improvement needed to sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

Marketing

After a professional photography shoot of your home, your home will be marketed electronically through many avenues i.e. MLS, social media sites, forums etc.

Negotiate

When a buyer decides they wish to own your home, they will present an offer which will include at a minimum these three factors: purchase price, closing date, and type of financing they will use, if any.

Settlement

At closing, you will receive a document from the settlement company outlining the costs associated with your sale. This document will inform you of the proceeds you should expect after the sale of your home or money you may need to pay to satisfy the existing mortgage.

Ratification

Once both parties of the transaction have agreed to terms, the contract is said to be “ratified”. After ratification, the parties are legally liable to fulfill their obligations set forth in the contract.

Contingencies

Several contingencies will most likely need to be navigated throughout the process. The first is typically the home inspection followed by the appraisal and buyer financing contingencies. Navigating you through each step of the process while protecting your interests is your REALTOR’S® duty.
