Here’s some things to think about before our consultation:

• Moving timeline?

• What do you hope to net from your home sale?

• What concerns do you have about listing?

Please consider these factors before our consultation so we can efficiently address the most important issues.

As your agent, I will prepare materials for your review, including a marketing campaign overview, a social strategy explanation, and a comparative market analysis to highlight what is selling in your area.

Home Inspection: Conduct a pre-listing inspection to identify and address potential issues.

Repairs and Upgrades: Recommended repairs and upgrades that can increase your home's value. Fix any small issues like leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or cracked tiles. These minor repairs can significantly impact a buyer’s perception of the home's condition.

Staging Your Home: Tips for staging your home to attract potential buyers. Remove personal items, family photos, and excess clutter to create a clean, neutral environment where buyers can envision themselves living. Ensure the home is spotless. Pay special attention to kitchens, bathrooms, and windows. Consider hiring professional cleaners for a thorough job.

Curb Appeal: Enhancing the exterior appearance to make a great first impression. Mow the lawn, trim hedges, plant flowers, and ensure the exterior is clean and welcoming. A fresh coat of paint on the front door can also make a big difference.

High-Quality Photos and Videos: Full photos of your home and immersive video.

Online Listings: Utilizing major real estate websites and social media platforms.

Print Marketing: 5 postcard designs. Coming Soon, Open House, Just Listed, Under Contract, and Sold.

Open Houses and Showings: Organizing and preparing for open houses and private showings. Open house on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Offer presentations occur whenever we receive one or more offers. During these sessions, we will connect to review and compare the offers side-by-side, helping you decide which one to accept or counter. In cases where multiple offers are submitted, we'll evaluate them all together. This approach is beneficial as it allows us to assess and compare the offers simultaneously, rather than addressing them individually over time.

Understanding Offers: Key components of an offer (price, contingencies, closing date).

Inspection Contingency: Each contract includes a 10-day inspection contingency period. During this time, the buyer can perform due diligence by having the property professionally inspected.

Financing Contingency: Many contracts are contingent on the buyer securing financing. Before accepting any offers, we require confirmation of the buyer's pre-approval from a lender.

Appraisal Contingency: For sellers, an appraisal contingency means that the sale of their property is contingent upon the home appraising for at least the agreed-upon purchase price. If the property appraises lower, the buyer may renegotiate the price, or the seller may need to find another buyer willing to pay the appraised value. It's important for sellers to understand the implications of this contingency and be prepared to negotiate if necessary.

Home Sale Contingency: Certain contracts may also include a contingency where the buyer's obligation to purchase the property is dependent on them successfully selling and closing on their current home. In such cases, additional paperwork and timelines are typically involved to accommodate this contingency.

The deed becomes legally binding only after it has been officially recorded by the county recorder's office. Once all parties have signed, the title company will send the deed for recording, which typically takes a few hours. Depending on when the deed is recorded, funding will follow; this can vary from same-day funding to up to 48 hours after recording.

The home sale is considered officially closed once the deed is recorded, and at that point, keys are released to the new homeowner.
