Selling

Selling a home can be a daunting task, but with the right guidance and preparation, it can be a smooth and rewarding journey.

Prepare comparative market analysis (CMA)

A comparative market analysis (CMA) is an important tool in determining the value of your home. This analysis compares your home to similar properties that have recently sold in your area. It takes into account factors such as size, location, age, and condition, as well as the current real estate market conditions. I can help you prepare a thorough and detailed CMA.

Review market conditions

It's important to stay up to date on current market conditions in your area. If the market is hot, you may be able to ask for a higher price, but if it's slow, you may need to be more flexible. I can provide valuable insight into the current market conditions and how they may impact your home sale.

Review other homes on the market

Take a look at other homes on the market in your area that are similar to yours. This will give you an idea of what similar homes are selling for and help you determine a competitive price. Consider factors such as the size, location, condition, and features of each home when making your comparison.

Discuss your home-sale goals

Consider your reasons for selling and what you hope to achieve with the sale of your home. Do you need to sell quickly or are you willing to wait for the right offer? Are you looking to maximize your profits or simply sell for a fair price? Understanding your goals will help you determine the right price for your home.

Determine the optimal listing price

Once you have gathered all the necessary information, it's time to determine the optimal listing price for your home. Take into account the results of your comparative market analysis, the current market conditions, and your home-sale goals. I can provide valuable insight and advice when determining the right price for your home.

Remove clutter and organize

Clearing clutter from your home is an essential step in preparing it for sale. This not only helps to showcase your home's best features, but it can also make it feel larger and more inviting to potential buyers.

Clean and make repairs

Making sure your home is clean and well-maintained is key to a successful sale. Address any minor repairs, such as fixing leaks or repainting, to make your home look its best.

Stage your home for sale

Staging your home means setting it up to appeal to the most potential buyers. This includes rearranging furniture, depersonalizing the space, and making it look warm and welcoming.

Consider a home protection plan

A home protection plan can give buyers peace of mind when purchasing your home. This can include covering the cost of repairs for appliances and systems that fail during a set period of time after the sale.

Complete listing documents and disclosures

I will assist you in completing all necessary listing documents and disclosures, such as property condition forms, lead-based paint disclosures, and more.

Create a secure online account

Keeping track of all of your home-selling tasks and deadlines is essential. I can provide you with a secure online account where you can manage your documents, deadlines, and tasks in one place.
