MEET SHARON You need a home that fits your lifestyle. If lately you’ve noticed your home is not quite right for you anymore, it may be time for a change.

Your home might be too big now that at the kids are all gone, or maybe your family has grown and you need more space. Whatever situation you find yourself in, making the transition to another home will require some skill and planning. First, you must sell your current home, and you will certainly have questions about getting it ready for the market. You may wonder how long it will take to sell or how much can you sell it for?

INTRODUCTION WELCOME TO SELLING YOUR HOME The selling process is a combination of excitement, stress, and new experiences, whether you have sold several homes or this is your first time.

The simple fact is selling your home is rarely a decision people make on a regular basis. There are several moving parts and points to consider, which is why it is important to have a trusted professional consulting you at each step of the process.

This Seller’s Guide is intended to give you a tangible resource that will help you define your goals and direct you through the process so that you can make informed decisions.

When you sell a home, it should be about YOU:

Your dreams

Your requirements

Your financial situation

Your time

Your lifestyle choices

Your concerns

DEFINE YOUR GOALS DETERMINE WHY YOU ARE SELLING YOUR LUXURY HOME

Before you start to think about all the things that need to be done, take some time to figure out why you are selling and clearly define your goals. Everyone has different reasons for selling — as you start to go through this process of discovery, focus on what is important to you and your family, as this will help streamline the process.

Here are six important questions to ask yourself: 1. Is there a timeline?

2. Are you relocating?

3. Are you looking for a bigger home or looking to downsize?

4. Looking for a different neighborhood? More city, more suburban?

5. Looking for different amenities?

6. Are financial considerations relevant?

Here are five important considerations: 1. Do you understand the associated costs?

2. Is this the right time for you to sell?

3. What are the present market conditions and the implications to your sale?

4. Does your home’s equity give you an advantage?

5. What are the current mortgage interest rates options compared to your rate and commitment?

Recognize that every market is different and the selling process can be a sprint or a marathon — be prepared for both.

SELECT A CLHMS REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION

It is important to work with a real estate professional who is not only committed to working with you but who is also dedicated to getting your home sold in the shortest time for the most amount of money. Your real estate professional should guide you through the entire process — consider their knowledge, experience, and expertise. Check their track record of working with sellers — from listing a home, negotiating the price, helping with financial solutions, understanding the local market, its property types and property values, to their knowledge of the transaction process.

SELLING PRICE VS. TIMING

The “Window of Opportunity” is the period in which your home will receive maximum exposure — typically when it is new on the market.

In order to capitalize on this window, it is crucial that your home is priced at Fair Market Value, prepared to showcase its features and attributes, and a marketing strategy is implemented.

PRICE YOUR PROPERTY IN THE LUXURY MARKET

Now that you have selected your real estate professional, you need to price your property. Price sets “the opinion of value” when selling your home. Price it too high against comparable properties and your home may not sell. Price it too low and you may not achieve the true value of your home.

THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS INFLUENCED BY: Location Condition and its unique features Buyer demand Prices of properties on the market Recent sales Availability for financing

The Hidden Influence Always make sure you highlight the positives and negatives of your home to your real estate professional — these nuances can be turned into an advantage if known in advance. Remember, no one knows your home and its location like you do.

PREPARE YOUR HOME

Every seller wants to sell their home quickly, and every buyer wants to believe the home they are looking at is the “right one.” As we prepare the home for sale, here are a few things to keep in mind. Begin this process with one simple idea: “This is not my home; it is a house.”

For this Seller’s Guide we have broken down this process into three levels. As always, discuss with your real estate professional what level is required for you to get the most value for your home.

LEVEL ONE: THE BASICS

LEVEL TWO: BEYOND THE BASICS

PREPARE YOUR HOME

(Continued)

LEVEL THREE: WAY BEYOND THE BASICS Major renovations Haven’t replaced that roof in 20+ years? Need to replace the carpet? Want to add better flooring? Remodel the bathroom? These more expensive repairs will add value to your home and are projects worth considering.

Other repairs With these larger repairs, it is important to understand that any work you put into the home should add value to the final sale price; if not, it’s not worth it.

HELPFUL TIPS: Think of this process as a head start to packing.

Even though some repairs seem minor, they become a major factor in determining whether the buyer will actually buy.

Pay particular attention to smell: odors are a complete turn-off.

Don’t forget about the outside as this is the first impression.

Scrutinize the home. If you were a buyer, would you want to buy this home? You have lived here and you know all the pros and cons. Highlight the pros and help eliminate the cons.

“This is the second time that I hired Sharon to help with real estate, and on both occasions, she successfully guided me through the process. I referred Sharon to my cousin who was having difficulty selling his home, and within days, his home was under contract. She has extensive knowledge of her industry and the market.

MARKET THE HOME

Each home has its own unique story to tell and the marketing should reflect that. Take time and sit down with your real estate professional to discuss the correct marketing plan to successfully market the home. A comprehensive and customized marketing strategy will complement the time, money, and energy that you have invested in your home.

Photography: A key element to all marketing is the right photography. Your home has five seconds to impress and grab attention. The right photography can give you an extra 20 seconds, and a great photo can evoke emotion. This is where they fall in love first. Skilled professionals know how to use composition, color, and lighting to enhance the subject.

Print media: Tangible resources such as yard signs, directionals, postcards, and property brochures are great options to draw buyers in to come visit the home.

Digital Exposure: Your online footprint gives you access to social media and 24/7 web exposure. It is the quickest way to get your home exposed locally, nationally, and internationally.

Networking and Referrals: Real estate professionals will utilize their network and referral systems to create additional sources of potential buyers. Networking with other local, national, and international relocation experts creates a larger database. Local advertising, word-of-mouth, and open houses create referrals from local homeowners who are the biggest advocates for having their friends and family move into their neighborhood.

“We tried several Realtors to sell our house, but it didn’t work out. After hiring Sharon as our listing agent, within one week, we received three offers and closed at the end of the month at full listing price. She is a very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced Realtor. Sharon communicated with us throughout the entire process. We are very happy with her service, and we will recommend her to our friends and family.”

NEGOTIATE THE OFFER

Perhaps the most complex moment in the sales process comes when you get an offer on the home. There are many components to an offer, and your real estate professional will explain the entire process so that you are comfortable with all the steps involved.

An offer can be drafted with or without conditions. An offer without conditions is known as a firm or subject-free offer. An offer with conditions is known as a conditional offer, once the conditions are satisfied, the buyer or seller will be obligated to purchase or sell the property. If the conditions are not met, then the buyer or seller is not obligated to purchase or sell the property.

REMOVE CONTINGENCIES

Once both parties accept the sales contract and its contingencies they will start to work towards removing these conditions and set a specific timeframe to do so (varies by state).

Your real estate professional will advise you on what contingencies you can remove based on the results once the appropriate due diligence has been completed. Ideally, both parties should have been able to negotiate a reasonable time to remove these conditions.

It is important to understand the options available to you should one of the conditions you are responsible for not be removable prior to the contract date. This does not automatically mean that the ‘deal is dead’ — having a real estate professional who is a good negotiator and will work with the buyer’s agent to find a solution is key.

Equally, conditions that the buyer needs to address can also be provided with extensions — this is the seller’s choice.

An experienced real estate professional will advise you on the right course of action based on their knowledge and experience.

CLOSE THE DEAL

After all the contingencies have been removed, it becomes the responsibility of the legal and financial institutions to prepare all the necessary paperwork. Should there be any issues your real estate professional will contact you.

Contact your Escrow Company and provide them with instructions on how you would like the funds deposited from the sale.

At closing, you will sign all your legal documents, including paperwork related to the transfer of ownership. There is usually a representative from the Escrow Company to facilitate the exchange.

When closing is finished, you should not only be prepared to hand over the keys but any copies of documentation that relates to the property and its amenities. You will receive a copy of the documentation you signed together with a statement of costs. At the end of closing, the deed will be taken and recorded at the county clerk’s office.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D QUESTIONS When is the Best Time to Sell?

When you are ready. Every real estate market is different; therefore, the best time to sell a home will be different from community to community. Don’t wait for perfect conditions to sell — they don’t exist.

How Do I Choose a Real Estate Professional?

Think of the process as equivalent to giving a job interview. Do they know your local market? Price points? Types of homes? What is their track record for sales in your community? Can they provide testimonials? Ask for references!

How Long Does the Listing Agreement Last?

Every real estate professional will have a preferred length. One thing to keep in mind when asking about the length of a listing agreement is the average days on the market. If the average days on the market in your local area is 75, a 90-day listing agreement may not be enough.

How Much Commission Should I Pay? Commission is negotiable, period. The saying, “you get what you pay for” is true when it comes to real estate too.

Choosing a real estate professional based solely on the fact they offer the lowest commission amount is a mistake made by home sellers when choosing a real estate professional to sell their home.
