HOME SALES
PROCESS
In today’s market conditions, both buying and selling your home can be a challenge. Whether it's the fluctuating housing prices, increased interest rates, or a shift from a dominant seller’s market, the right strategy and preparation, can help get the results you’re looking for.

Declutter
and
Depersonalize
- MAKING IT THEIR HOME -
When preparing to show buyers your home, take the right steps to maximize your chances of success. Consider the importance of decluttering and depersonalizing. A cluttered room may leave a negative impression that the house is not well-maintained. Moreover, it is difficult for buyers to visualize how the layout of the house works.
Decluttering your house from small items that are tucked away to large pieces of furniture is an effective home-selling strategy. By clearing out unwanted items, you create the impression of a larger space that buyers will help potential buyers imagine living in your house as their new home.
Depersonalizing is as the name implies. Removing photos, religious and political décor, suggestive artwork, and other personal items create a neutral environment that allows people to focus on the positive aspects of your home.

To
Sell
- PRE-LISTING APPOINTMENT -
Pre-listing preparations for your home sale is an important part of the process. With the right preparation, you will be able to confidently put your property on the market. The preparations includes pre-listing inspections, taking care of repairs, and understanding all possible costs associated with selling a home. Taking these steps allow sellers to be better equipped and ensure nothing is overlooked when transitioning from one home to another.
Market insights is a valuable tool for you to determine the optimal strategy to sell your home. While no system is perfect, following pre-listing steps allow sellers to be better equipped when deciding to list their home and transitioning from one home to another.

Staging
and
Pictures
- SETTING THE STAGE -
Selling your home doesn't mean putting up a "For Sale" sign and crossing your fingers. Showcasing your home to potential buyers can be done through two effective methods - staging and pictures.
​
Photos play a major role to maximize the first impressions with potential buyers who view your home online. Depending on the sales price, professional photos are the best option to showcase its beauty and features. Regardless of the price, photos increase the chances of drawing attention and creating connections with prospective buyers.
Staging is where the magic begins and is an important tool in an home sales strategy. Through staging, it's easier to show off a property's true potential. Not only does it help maximize the sales value, but provides a welcoming space for potential buyers to envision themselves making the home their own.

Marketing
Strategies
- MORE THAN PRICE -
A well thought-out marketing strategy will help draw in potential buyers, leading to quicker sales and more money in your pocket. Having the right strategies in place will give you a competitive advantage and help you get the best value for your property. A marketing plan is more than a sign in the yard and a post on Zillow. Online and offline tools technology, pricing, buyer incentives, and financing options. Using the right marketing tools will make a big difference when selling your home.
​
Every seller wants to sell at the highest price. One of the most important strategies for selling your home is establishing the right price. Sometimes the highest price is not the best price. If you list too high, you may lose potential and leave your house lingering on the market. If you list too low, you may get a quick sale but leave thousands of dollars at the table at closing. Additional strategies to consider when creating a marketing plan are buyer incentives and financing options.

Showings
and
Open Houses
- BRINGING BUYERS AND AGENTS TOGETHER -
Two of the most important tools to successfully sell your home are having an open house and getting agent showings. When deciding on having an open house, your goal is to showcase your home in its best light and reach out to as many buyers and agents as possible.
​
During an open house, buyers can spend leisurely time looking around, asking questions, and getting a detailed understanding of the house’s features. Agent showings are the lifelines that tie everything together that lead to a successful sale. With the right preparations and strategies, you can effectively get your home on the market and increase its chances of selling for the best possible price. Having large numbers of buyers and agents viewing your home to provide feedback on desirability, price, and condition is priceless.

Buying
While
Selling
- PLANNING FOR A TRANSITION -
The process of both selling your primary residence and buying a new home at the same time can be extra stressful. Careful timing and planning will allow you to minimize the risks associated with juggling two transactions simultaneously.
​
There may be circumstances that arise that require you to strategically decide to defer purchasing a new home immediately. In an active market where sales are brisk and locating a new home or building a custom home may require you to rent for a short period. Regardless of what happens, it all goes back to planning and being prepared.

Prepare
To
Close
- CLOSING TIME -
Selling your home can be a bittersweet and emotional experience. Whether you’re excited for the next chapter or feeling nostalgic for days gone by, it’s time to say goodbye to your home; the place with so many memories.
​Preparations are over and it’s time to close. There are a few things left to do before handing off the keys to the new owners. Ensuring final repairs are completed and preparing for a final buyer walkthrough are all necessary steps to ensure you have a successful transition. Getting these steps completed on time will save both time and energy and make the closing day a breeze.
