Selling your Home - What are the steps?

Make a Plan

The first step to selling your home is to determine your goals. The REALTOR® you select must be diligent, knowledgeable, and focused on helping you achieve those goals.  Her mission must be to get YOU where you want to go - on time.

Make Repairs

Carefully examine your home through the eyes of a potential buyer. What is the first impression as you walk to the front door?  Check your lighting, plumbing, windows, flooring, drainage systems, and roof. Small changes to the interior and exterior could have a significant impact upon the value of your home. A good Realtor can best advise you what repairs might be the most important. In some cases a $1 investment that can bring you a $10 return.

Determine the Price

Your Realtor should conduct an in depth study of the market and provide you with a competitive market analysis (CMA). This report examines recent activities such as comparable homes that sold, ones that did not sell, and competing properties currently on the market. In addition, your Realtor should provide you with an Absorption Rate Report to demonstrate how the current market conditions will impact you and your goals.
