Step 1: Find the Right Real Estate Agent
Selling solo can be tough. An experienced agent brings:

🏡 Marketing Power: Maximum exposure for your listing.

🏡 Expert Pricing: Accurate pricing with Comparative Market Analysis.

🏡 Smooth Process: From listing to closing, they’ve got you covered.

🏡Pro Tip: Interview a few agents to find the right fit. Ask about commission, listing terms, and buyer’s agent fees.

Step 2: Price It Right
Don’t overprice your home. Your agent will help set a competitive price based on market trends and similar sales. This attracts more buyers and speeds up the process.

Step 3: Prep Your Home
Small updates go a long way. Focus on:

🏡 Fresh paint

🏡 Fixing doors, cabinets, and light fixtures

🏡 Replacing worn carpets

🏡 Pro Tip: Your agent can advise on what matters most.

Step 4: Stage for Success
Make it easy for buyers to picture themselves living there.

🏡 Declutter: Less is more.

🏡 Depersonalize: Remove photos and personal items.

🏡 Brighten Up: Open curtains, clean carpets, and ensure every room shines.

Step 5: List Your Home
Your agent will handle photos, disclosures, and online listings. Be honest about past repairs or issues—it builds trust with buyers.

Step 6: Showings
Be flexible for showings. Weekends and evenings are prime times. Consider a lockbox for easy agent access.

Step 7: Negotiate Offers
Multiple offers? Great! Don’t shy away from counteroffers. Trust your agent to handle negotiations and get you the best deal.

Step 8: Enter Escrow
Once under contract, buyers deposit earnest money. The process continues with inspections and appraisals.

Step 9: Inspection & Appraisal
Buyers may request repairs after inspections. Keep an open mind, or renegotiate if needed.

🏡 Appraisal: A fair value ensures the deal moves forward smoothly.

Step 10: Closing the Sale
Once the lender clears everything, it’s closing time! Hand over keys, remotes, and any access cards. Funds will be transferred directly to you.

🏡 Congratulations! You’ve sold your home!
