Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of an experienced agent and this easy-to-follow guide, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.​​​​​​​
What do you want to accomplish with the sale of your home? Do you want to make a certain amount of money that you can put towards a larger home? Do you need to sell it as soon as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Once we understand your needs, we can craft a strategic plan together.
Having an expert agent behind your listing can make an extreme difference in selling your home in an efficient manner for the best deal possible. We take care of everything for you from Day 1 starting with marketing and home prep to showings to negotiations. We will advise on negotiations for each offer keeping in mind your personal real estate goals and priorities.
Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the beginning, you’ll get the most interest from other real estate agents and prospective buyers. Overpricing your home could lead to reduced interest, and underpricing leads to receiving less than what your home is worth. Working with us is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. We provide insider data to determine what other comparable homes are selling for and evaluate the current market.
We will develop a marketing strategy that is perfect for advertising your home. This involves listing the home and then driving the right people to that listing through social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, or SEO advertising. Our team creates a marketing campaign that aims to get the most possible traffic to your listing in the first few weeks.
We provide a list of items/action steps that we know will boost the value of your home. You are free to select any or none at all. With Compass Concierge, you can sell your home faster and for a higher price with services like staging, flooring, painting, and more. And the best part is, the cost of home improvement services is fronted with no interest - ever.
Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low, we can guide you on making an appropriate counter-offer or offer other ways to bridge the gap.
Once we deem the offer is accepted, your real estate attorney will review the contract to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, contingencies, closing date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared for signing.
You have accepted an offer and are now very close to the end of your selling journey. But first, we will review the board package from the buyer to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components and a list of required supporting documents. When the board has approved of the board package, all parties involved in the transaction must be aligned for a closing date.
You’ve reached the last step in the seller’s process. When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. During this time, you can also make plans with us to handle final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and move out fees, or changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.
Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.
All set! Thanks for submitting your home valuation request. One of our agents will reach out to you shortly.
