How to Unlock Your Home's Selling Potential
Step 1: Determine the Value of Your Home
Find out the fair market value of your home by performing a comparative market analysis of similar homes in your area. You can seek the help of a real estate professional from Vlahakis Residential for this.
Step 2: Prepare your home
Make sure your home is in the best possible condition. Clean, declutter, and depersonalize your home to make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Step 3: List your home
Once your home is ready for sale, we will list on the Multiple Listing Service, and sites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia. You can also advertise your home in local newspapers and magazines.
Step 4: Showings
To prepare a home for showings, sellers should declutter and depersonalize the space to help potential buyers envision themselves living there. This may involve deep cleaning, staging rooms to highlight their best features, and ensuring the property is well-maintained and inviting. Additionally, sellers may need to plan to vacate the premises during showings to allow buyers to explore the home freely and without distraction.
Step 5: Receive and review offers
Once offers start coming in, review each one carefully with the help of your real estate agent. Consider the offer amount, contingencies, and closing date before accepting or countering the offer.
Step 6: Close the sale
After finding the right buyer, agree on a closing date, sign the necessary paperwork, and transfer ownership of the property after the buyer's acquisition of the appropriate funds.
Step 7: Move Out Advice
It's time to move! Sellers should start by decluttering and packing non-essential items well in advance of the closing date. Ensure the home is left in "broom-swept" condition and only items specified in the purchase agreement are left behind, facilitating a smooth transition for both parties involved.
Step 8: Celebrate!
After closing, pat yourself on the back for participating in one of life's biggest financial decisions!
