What are the stages of selling your home?

Selling your home is an exciting yet complex journey. Don't worry though - I'm here to help! Let me guide you through the process.

1. DISCOVERY & RESEARCH Expand

  • I will tour your home and give my insights on what will help your sale.
  • We discuss the process and develop initial marketing strategies.
  • I will recommend any repairs, improvements, staging and/or pre-listing items to ensure your home sells quickly and for the most money possible.
2. LISTING APPOINTMENT Expand

  • We discuss the value of your home, review the calendar of expectations, sign documents and enter into a contract.
  • Congratulations - You're ready!
3. PRE-LAUNCH Expand

  • All marketing materials are collected.
  • I ensure everything is prepared for launch day, from photography to scheduling of showings.
4. LAUNCH DAY Expand

  • It's time! Your home hits the market. You never get a second chance to make that first impression. One of my jobs is ensuring that your home stands out from all the others when we launch.
5. BUYER PROSPECTING Expand

  • Consistent exposure of your home is spread across all the marketing platforms. All scheduled events are completed until we reach a sales agreement.
6. SALES AGREEMENT Expand

  • Once an offer has been made, we will review all terms and conditions and respond as needed.
7. INSPECTIONS Expand

  • Your buyer will probably hire an inspector to review your home. The inspector will likely recommend repairs or upgrades, and I will negotiate on your behalf.
8. LOAN COMMITMENT Expand

  • The buyer's loan is underwritten. All buyer's documentation is verified, and we wait for approval.
9. CLOSING PREPARATION Expand

  • The lender's requirements have been met, and the documents have been ordered.
  • Closing has been scheduled.
  • The buyer typically does a final walk-through of your home 24-48 hours before closing.
10. CLOSING Expand

  • The last step! Documents are signed, keys are exchanged, and proceeds are received. You may cancel your utilities and insurance.
