1. Two-Step Listing Appointment:
We’ll meet to understand your goals, tour the property, discuss market conditions, and prepare for accurate pricing.
2. Complete The Listing Agreement:
We’ll draft the paperwork, outlining roles and responsibilities, with the agreement’s duration based on various factors.
3. Preparing The Home For Sale:
Declutter, depersonalize and enhance the property’s appeal with staging, professional photos, and necessary installations.
4. Activate Listing:
Your home goes live on the MLS; marketing strategies begin, and you’ll have control over showings and feedback via the Showing Time app.
5. Receive, Evaluate, And Negotiate Offers:
We’ll assist in assessing offers and negotiate terms with the buyer’s agent for the best outcome.
6. Transaction Coordination:
Our team will manage paperwork and deadlines, ensuring a smooth process involving various parties.
7. Home Inspection Repair Negotiation:
Review and negotiate repair requests post-home inspection for mutually agreeable terms.
8. Schedule Seller Responsible Inspections:
Coordinate necessary seller-responsible inspections and share reports with the buyer’s agent.
9. Appraisal:
Work with the buyer’s lender regarding the property’s appraisal and discuss options if it doesn’t meet the purchase price.
10. Lender Communication:
Ensure consistent communication with the buyer’s lender to meet loan conditions before closing.
11. Utility Reminder:
We’ll remind you to manage utilities throughout the inspection period and up to the final walk-through as per the purchase contract.
12. Signing Of The Deed:
Coordinate the critical signing of the deed before the buyer’s closing and help plan how you’ll receive your proceeds securely.
13. Preparing For The Final Walk-Through:
Get ready for the final inspection ensuring the property’s condition before closing and coordinate items that remain with the house.
14. Closing:
On the closing day, the property changes hands to the buyer, and you receive your proceeds once the new deed is recorded.

Our support continues even after closing, with invitations to local client events or ongoing assistance for relocation needs.
