Resources/Seller Guide

Home Selling Checklist

Maximize your home's value and minimize stress. Follow this step-by-step guide to prepare, market, and sell your property with confidence.

1

Prepare Your Home

First impressions are everything. Before listing, take time to make your home shine. A well-maintained home sells faster and for more money.

Key Tasks:

  • Declutter & Depersonalize: Remove personal photos and excess items.
  • Deep Clean: Scrub everything from baseboards to ceiling fans.
  • Repairs: Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and burnt-out bulbs.
  • Curb Appeal: Mow the lawn, trim hedges, and add fresh mulch.
2

Set the Right Price

Pricing is the most critical factor in selling your home. Price it too high, and it sits; price it too low, and you leave money on the table.

How We Help:

We conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to analyze:

  • Recent sales of similar homes in your area
  • Current active listings (your competition)
  • Market trends (is it a buyer's or seller's market?)

💡 Strategy

We often recommend pricing slightly below market value to generate multiple offers and drive the price up.

3

Strategic Marketing

Once your home is ready and priced right, we launch a comprehensive marketing campaign to reach the maximum number of buyers.

Our Marketing Mix:

  • Professional photography and virtual tours
  • Listing on the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.
  • Social media advertising (Facebook, Instagram)
  • Email marketing to our database of buyers
  • Open houses and broker opens
4

Showings & Open Houses

Be ready to show your home at a moment's notice. The more accessible your home is, the faster it will sell.

  • Keep the home tidy and "show-ready"
  • Remove pets during showings if possible
  • Open blinds to let in natural light
  • Leave the home during showings to let buyers feel comfortable
5

Negotiating Offers

When offers start coming in, we'll review them with you to identify the strongest one. It's not just about the highest price.

Terms to Consider:

  • Cash vs. Finance: Cash deals close faster and are more secure.
  • Contingencies: Fewer contingencies (inspection, financing) mean a smoother deal.
  • Closing Date: Does it align with your moving plans?
6

Closing Day

The final step! You'll sign the deed over to the new owner and hand over the keys.

Seller's Closing Tasks:

  • Complete all agreed-upon repairs
  • Move out completely and leave the home "broom clean"
  • Bring photo ID and all house keys/remotes to closing
  • Cancel utilities and insurance (effective after closing)
