1. Consult with your trusted Real Estate Professional
Finding the right agent can provide you with insights into the local market, help set realistic expectations and answer questions you may have.
Clients should expect an oversight of the process, discuss goals and home’s potential value.
2. Home Evaluation and Market Analysis
Understanding your home’s market value is essential for setting competitive prices.
Your trusted Real Estate Professional will perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), looking at recent sales of similar homes in your area to determine a price range.
3. Preparing the Home for Sale
Properly preparing your home can attract more buyers and may sell for more.
Your agent can recommend what needs attention to maximize appeal. Some recommendations include cleaning, decluttering, making repairs, staging, and improving curb appeal.
4. Determine the Selling Price and Strategy
Pricing too high or too low can deter buyers. A clear strategy also helps reach the right audience.
You’ll discuss pricing options based on the market analysis and decide whether to use strategies like pricing slightly under market to attract more buyers or setting an initial high price.
5. Listing and Marketing the Property
Effective marketing brings attention to your home, reaching as many potential buyers as possible.
Your agent will create a listing with professional photos, descriptions, and possibly virtual tours. They’ll also promote your home through online platforms, social media, and open houses to drive interest.
