Home Selling Checklist

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.

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?)

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

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

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?

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)
