THE 10 STEPS
OF A HOME SALE

Selling a home involves several key steps that when followed properly, can maximize your home’s market value, minimize the time it spends on the market, and ensure a smooth transition process for both the seller and the buyer.

CHOOSE A LISTING AGENT

Interview and select a real estate professional to best represent you, preferably 3 months in advance where possible, so they can advise you on preparations.

PREPARE THE HOME

Make necessary repairs, declutter, deep clean and stage the home. Read this article for How to Prepare!

DETERMINE THE ASKING PRICE

MARKET THE PROPERTY

SHOW THE HOME

Your Agent will coordinate all showings and retrieve feedback from potential buyers. Be as flexible as possible with your home’s showing availability.

REVIEW OFFERS

Evaluate and negotiate all offers received. Look at the timeline & terms and don’t focus solely on the offer price. Many factors contribute to your overall maximum profit

ACCEPT AN OFFER

Agree to all terms with the buyer including price, closing date, and any contingencies. You are now Ratified. i.e., Under Contract!

INSPECTIONS & APPRAISALS

Most buyers will opt in for these. They will schedule and conduct their home inspection and have the property officially appraised.

NEGOTIATE REPAIRS

Your agent will discuss the home inspection results and any final repairs requested. They will cover all of your solution options to negotiate a win-win for both parties.
