Prepare your Home
Give buyers a reason to do business with you!
Before listing your home, you'll want to make sure your home is in marketable condition. Completing needed repairs can help add value to your property. Even small cosmetic changes can have a big impact in the eyes of a buyer. I will work with you to identify any updates that may help increase the value of your home.

Determine your Home's Value
Setting the right price for your property is one of the most important steps in the selling process. While online estimates can offer a starting point, I will provide a detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) to deliver a far more accurate valuation. This analysis considers current local market trends, the condition of your home, and recent comparable sales in your area.
With in-depth knowledge of the local market and a strategic approach to pricing, I am committed to positioning your property to achieve the strongest possible value.
What Are The Risks Of Pricing Your Home Too High?
Putting your Home on the MLS
Once your home is in marketable condition, listing documents have been completed, measurements and professional photos have been taken, your property is ready for the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
First impressions are important!
The first few days on the market are crucial for attracting new buyers, and it's important your home is ready for showings as soon as it's listed. While your home is on the MLS, I'll keep you updated on local market conditions, trends, and recent sales.

Receiving an Offer
When an interested buyer submits an offer, you can choose to accept, reject, or counter. If you counter, you’re essentially rejecting the buyer's inital offer and making a new offer with your terms (such as a different price, closing date, or contingencies). The buyer can then accept, reject, or counter back. This back-and-forth is a normal part of negotiations until both parties reach an agreement, or decide to walk away.
I will help you understand the conditions, provisions, and obligations of the offer to pruchase and contract.
More Information On Offers & Negotiations
Under Contract
Once your offer has been accepted, and all paperwork has been signed by both parties, the buyer and seller enter into a contractual agreement, known as being "under contract." The sale isn't final just yet. As a seller, the due diligence period initiates a time where certain conditions are fulfilled before closing. Contingencies from the buyer may include securing a mortgage, having an appraisal, completing a survey, home and property inspections, possible repairs, and a title search. As requirements are met, you will move closer to the closing date where ownership officially transfers. What to expect while Under Contract
Closing on your Home
As you prepare for closing, there may be a few
items to finalize before your settlement date.
Once these conditions and provisions have successfully been made,
you are officially ready to close on your home. You will sit down with your closing attorney and sign the paperwork to transfer the ownership of your home to the buyer. Once the deed has been recorded, it's time to celebrate!
You have just sold your home and ready to move on to your next adventure!
