The Selling Process

1. Know Why You're Selling

✓ The first step for any seller is to understand why you’re selling your home. Are you relocating? Is your family growing and in need of more space? Or are you looking to take advantage of a strong market?

2. Look For An Agent

✓ Not every seller works with an agent when selling their home. However, many choose to rely on an agent’s expertise and professional network to guide them through the entire process. Since agents vary in experience and level of commitment, it’s important to choose someone you feel comfortable working with and to ensure expectations are clearly aligned from the start.

3. Prepare Your Home For the Market

✓ Getting your home market-ready can be one of the most challenging steps in the selling journey, but it’s also one of the most impactful. Proper preparation can boost value and generate competitive offers, while poor preparation can turn buyers away and lead to underwhelming results.

4. Market Your Home

✓ After cleaning, painting, and staging, professional photos are key before listing. Highlight your home’s best features—like natural light, views, or unique details—by working with a professional photographer. Great photos make a strong first impression, and your agent can recommend trusted photographers to showcase your home.

5. Receive Offers

✓ Receiving your first offer is thrilling, but it’s important to stay calm. Each buyer is different, so one offer doesn’t predict what others might come in at.
