Everything you need to know about putting your home on the market, accepting an offer, and closing on your home.
Selling your home can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure of what to expect. However, with the support of skilled real estate agents and this straightforward guide, you can navigate the process with ease. By following these steps, you’ll be well-prepared, stay organized, and maximize your chances of securing the best possible price for your home.
What do you hope to achieve by selling your home? Are you looking to make a specific profit to fund the purchase of a bigger or more luxurious property? Or is your main focus on selling quickly to facilitate a move to a new city or region? Clarifying your priorities will help you create an effective plan. For example, if speed is your main concern, you might opt for a more competitive price. On the other hand, if maximizing your earnings is key, a higher listing price could be the way to go. Be sure to share these goals with your real estate agents so they can adjust the pricing strategy to meet your needs.
If you’ve maintained your home in pristine, showroom-like condition over the years, you’re among a small group of homeowners. Once you’ve set the price, the next step is to prepare your home for showings. This involves decluttering, removing personal items to help buyers picture themselves living in the space, completing minor repairs, and giving the entire home a thorough deep cleaning to ensure it’s in impeccable condition.
We will create a customized marketing strategy to effectively showcase your home. This includes listing your property and attracting the right audience through targeted social media campaigns, agent-to-agent networking, professional photography, and SEO-driven promotions. Park Properties group will design a campaign that maximizes exposure, with a focus on generating the highest possible traffic to your listing within the first three weeks of working together.
When an offer is deemed acceptable, we will carefully review the proposed contract to ensure it is complete and includes all essential details, such as the deposit amount, down payment, financing terms, inspection rights, repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a breakdown of fees with designated responsibilities. Once both parties agree to the terms, your agent will prepare the final contract for completion.
Congratulations on accepting an offer! You’re now nearing the final steps of your home-selling journey. Before closing, you and the buyer will need to address any remaining tasks. This may include formal inspections, surveys, appraisals, or completing necessary repairs. We will take the lead in managing this process, ensuring each task is completed, the correct party covers the costs, and everything is finalized by the closing date. A few days before closing, We’ll contact the closing company to confirm all details are in place. If you haven’t already, now is the time to make arrangements to move out, so the buyer can take possession seamlessly.
You’ve reached the final step in the selling process. Closing on your home means you are legally transferring ownership to the buyer. We will meet with the closing company to sign the final paperwork and address any outstanding issues. During this time, we can also go over the last details, such as canceling utilities, cable, lawn, and trash services, transferring accounts that the new owner will keep, and providing the buyer with instructions for any appliances that will remain in the home.
Once your home is sold, you're ready to move forward on your next journey. Whether it's relocating to a new city, upgrading to a larger home, or downsizing to embrace life as empty-nesters, knowing that all your selling responsibilities are handled will give you peace of mind as you begin this new chapter.
