Here is an idea of how the home selling process works:
1. Sign the Listing Agreement
- What it is: A contract that officially makes your Realtor your representative for selling your home.
- What it includes: Details about the listing price, commission, length of the agreement, and services the Realtor will provide.
- Next Step: Your Realtor will work with you to prepare your home for the market.
2. Prepare Your Home for Sale
- Declutter and Stage: Clean and organize your home. Your Realtor may suggest staging it to highlight its best features.
- Repairs and Improvements: Complete any small repairs or updates recommended by your Realtor to attract more buyers.
- Professional Photos: Your Realtor will likely hire a photographer to take high-quality pictures for marketing.
3. Set the Listing Price
- Market Analysis: Your Realtor will research recent sales of comparable homes in your area to determine a competitive price.
- Pricing Strategy: Together, you’ll decide on the price that balances attracting buyers and meeting your financial goals.
4. Marketing Your Home
- Listing: Your home is listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and other real estate platforms.
- Advertising: Your Realtor may use social media, email campaigns, and open houses to generate interest.
- Showings: Be ready for potential buyers to schedule visits. Keep your home tidy and available for showings.
5. Receive and Negotiate Offers
- Review Offers: Once buyers make offers, your Realtor will present them to you and explain the details.
- Negotiate Terms: You may accept, reject, or counter an offer. Your Realtor will guide you through negotiations to get the best terms.
6. Accept an Offer
- Sign the Contract: Once you agree on terms, both parties sign a purchase agreement.
- Contingencies: The buyer may have conditions (e.g., home inspection, financing) that need to be met before closing.
7. Prepare for the Home Inspection and Appraisal
- Home Inspection: The buyer hires an inspector to assess the home’s condition. If issues arise, they may request repairs or concessions.
- Appraisal: The buyer’s lender orders an appraisal to confirm the home’s value matches the loan amount.
8. Work Through Contingencies
- Repair Requests: Address any repair requests or negotiate with the buyer.
- Final Walkthrough: Before closing, the buyer will do a final walkthrough to ensure the home is in agreed-upon condition.
9. Closing Preparation
- Title Work: The title company ensures there are no legal issues with ownership of the home.
- Closing Disclosure: Review the document outlining all final costs, such as taxes, fees, and Realtor commissions.
- Moving Out: Plan your move and ensure the home is empty and clean before the closing date.
10. Closing Day
- Sign Documents: Attend the closing meeting to sign the final paperwork.
- Transfer Ownership: Once documents are signed and funds are transferred, the buyer receives the keys to the home.
- Celebrate: Congratulations, your home is officially sold!
