Selling Your Home or Property
Your property will appear on the
Multiple Listing Service & on over 30 websites!
Step 1: Plan & Prepare Your Home for Sale
Step 2: Your REALTOR®
I am a National Association of Realtors (NAR) member and must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. By joining NAR, I have access to a wide range of classes, seminars and certification opportunities. I am a community expert. I track real estate trends, share neighborhood concerns and participate in local matters. Only NAR members can us the designation of REALTOR®.
Step 3: Set the Price
The value of your home relates to local sale prices. The same home, located elsewhere, would likely have a different value. Sale prices are a product of supply and demand.
Step 4: Market It
Selling can entail a variety of marketing strategies. Once listed, your home will be quickly entered into the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and placed on REALTOR.com® and several other websites.

I routinely market by mail with new-listing announcements and postcards. It is necessary for other Realtors and brokers to have access to the home via the use of a lock box. Much of a Realtor's work will be quiet and unseen -- yet important. Telephone calls, the work with contacts, the follow-ups with visitors, conversations with ad respondents, the web postings and other outreach efforts are all part of the process required to sell homes.
Cosmetic improvements,paint, wallpaper and landscaping help a home "show" better and often are good investments. Mechanical repairs, to ensure that all systems and appliances are in good working condition, are required to get a top price. Ideally, you want to be sure that your property is competitive with other homes available in the community.

Step 5: Sell It
Step 7: Moving
Real estate bargaining typically involves compromises by both sides. It's not war; it's not winner-take-all; and it's not the time to take personally any comments made by purchasers.
Instead, negotiating should be seen as a natural business process; buyers should be treated with respect; and owners should never lose sight of either their best interests or their baseline transaction requirements. These are the standards unique to each owner, which must be met before the home can be sold.
Step 6: Closing
Closing is essentially a meeting where the closing agent takes in money from the buyers, pays out money to the owner and makes sure that the purchaser's title is properly recorded in local records along with any mortgage liens.

The closing agent and I, as your Realtor®, review the sale agreement to determine what payments and credits the seller should receive and what amounts are due from the buyer. The closing agent also assures that certain transaction costs are paid (taxes and title searches).
Step 7: Moving
Are you moving a long distance? If yes, you'll likely require an interstate mover and the use of a large van.
Moving locally? If yes, will you move yourself? You'll need to consider packing boxes, peanuts, blankets or padding and a van rental.
Planning is key. Stock up on boxes, packing materials, tape and markers. Always mark boxes so that movers will know where goods should be placed.
