Home Selling Process

Know what to expect when you sell a home. This guide explains each step, to help you make informed decisions. 

Select a Real Estate Broker
Select a Realtor familiar with your area. An effective real estate professional helps you prepare your home for selling and lead you through the selling process.

Obtain a Market Analysis 
How much your home is worth? It is very important to price your home competitively in your local marketplace. Get a professional evaluation from an experienced Realtor.

Set up the Price 
Your Realtor will help you establish the best price for your home, considering market conditions, market analysis, and other variables. Do not overprice your property. A high listing price will lead buyers to expect more than what you have to offer.

Marketing your Home 
Your real estate professional will include your property in a database of all available properties, called the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). All MLS data reaches all Realtors and also buyers can browse it through most real estate websites. It is also essential market your home through the most popular real estate channels to allow maximum exposure and advertising.

Prepare the Home for Sale 
Make sure your home shows well in relation to your competitors. The exterior of your home makes the first impression and should always be well-kept so interested buyers passing by will call your agent for a showing.

The Offer 
Review the terms of the offer with your Realtor. You have three options at this point:
Accept the offer as is, make a counter-offer or reject the offer.

Negotiation 
Verify with your Realtor all aspects covered in the transaction, such as the price of the property, responsibilities, closing costs, day of occupancy, etc. Anything that can bring mutual benefits to both parties is negotiable.

Home Inspection 
This is something the buyer requests and the cost of the inspections are paid by the buyer. In most cases the buyer will have five business days to inspect a home.

Home Warranty 
To increase the success of selling your home and reduce the chances its new buyer will run into problems after the sale, it’s a good idea to invest in a home warranty. It will cover the cost of many repairs or replacement systems in your home.

Closing 
The final stage of the process happens when the home ownership is transferred to the buyer, but the deal is not done until you have received a check from the title company for the sale of your home.
