The Home Selling Process
Thinking about selling? Here’s what the journey looks like from listing to closing day:
1. Pre-Listing Setup
Before anything goes live, we’ll set you up for success.
✅ I’ll deliver a pre-listing packet
✅ We’ll schedule a listing appointment to review your goals and timeline
✅ You’ll sign the listing agreement and required paperwork
2. Get Your Home Ready
Time to shine!
✅ Clean, declutter, and boost curb appeal
✅ I’ll schedule professional photos
✅ Yard sign and lockbox will be installed
💡 Tip: A little prep goes a long way. First impressions matter!
3. Launch Day!
Your property goes LIVE on the MLS and other platforms
✅ I’ll begin marketing your home across multiple channels
✅ Showings will begin—do your best to accommodate requests so we don’t miss any interested buyers
4. Reviewing Offers
Once offers start coming in:
✅ I’ll walk you through each one in detail
✅ We’ll negotiate terms and respond strategically
✅ Once accepted, we’re officially under contract!
5. Inspection Time
The buyer will schedule a home inspection
✅ We’ll review their inspection response together
✅ You can choose to make repairs, offer credits, or negotiate terms
✅ If all parties agree, we move forward to the next phase
6. Appraisal & Title Work
✅ The buyer’s lender will order an appraisal
✅ Title work will be ordered to ensure everything is clear for closing
7. Closing Prep
✅ You’ll start packing and preparing to move
✅ We’ll schedule the closing date, time, and location
✅ Call to transfer your utilities out of your name starting on the buyer’s possession day
8. Final Walk-Through
The buyers will typically walk through the home the day before or day of closing to confirm it's in the agreed condition.
9. Closing Day 🎉
✅ You’ll sign the final paperwork at the title company
✅ You’ll receive your net proceeds
✅ The buyers take possession
CONGRATULATIONS—you just sold your home!
