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? And what is most important to you—pricing, timing or convenience? Do you need to make a certain amount of money in order to upgrade to a larger or nicer home? Do you need to sell as quickly as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Your goals and needs will play into the overall marketing strategy that Lauren develops for your home.
Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of your marketing strategy. 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 a real estate agent is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. An experienced agent knows how to study comparable sales and read the market temperature to properly price your property.
If you’ve kept your home in showroom condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Lauren will work with you to build a personalized plan for fetching the highest ROI for your property. Prepping your house for market is key. Your plan may include getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space, making repairs and/or cosmetic updates, deep cleaning and staging to make sure your home has its best foot forward.
Lauren will bring in professionals to capture your home in its best light. This may include photographers, videographers and or drones. She will work hard to make your property shine and to drive the right people to your listing through targeted agent outreach, social media campaigns, traditional media, open houses and more.
Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. Lauren will evaluate each offer to make sure the Buyer is financially qualified and that their offer is acceptable to you. Lauren may recommend countering terms of the offer to try to arrive at terms that put you in the strongest possible position.
Once you’ve accepted an offer, the Seller will deposit Earnest Money and your timelines will all begin. Real estate involves many important deadlines and Lauren will make sure you stay on track throughout the process.
In order to get to the closing table, you must make it through many contingencies. Contingencies typically include an inspection period, title work, a survey and an appraisal, among other hurdles. Lauren will help you navigate contingencies and continue to negotiate on your behalf.
As you approach closing, Lauren will help you make arrangements for transferring utilities and moving out of the home. She will help you review final closing figures and finally, you will meet with the title company closing the transaction to sign the final paperwork.
Once you’ve sold your home, you’re on your way to your next chapter! Once a client, always a client. Lauren will stay in touch long after the sale and will continue to be a resource for your real estate needs. This includes providing home service provider contacts, market analysis for your property, market updates, community information/reminders and fun, exclusive events!
