Introduction:

Selling a home can seem like a daunting process, especially if you've never done it before. But having an experienced real estate agent to guide you through the steps can make it much more manageable.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through what to expect when selling your property so you can feel prepared and in control.

The Steps to Selling Your Home:

Determine your timeline
When do you want to have your home sold by? This will impact what time of year you list it. Spring and summer are peak seasons, so aim to list at least 2-3 months before your target sale date.

Get a comparative market analysis
An agent will assess your home's value by comparing recent sales of similar properties. This helps determine the optimal asking price to sell quickly and for top dollar.

Prepare your property.
To maximize your home's appeal, take care of any repairs, declutter, clean, stage rooms, and improve curb appeal. Invest 2-3% of your home's value into pre-sale preparations.

List your home.
Your agent will advertise your listing through MLS, websites, social media, yard signs, open houses, and networking. Quality photos and a compelling description are key.

Show and review offers.
Be prepared for showings on short notice. Consider all offers carefully and seek your agent's guidance on negotiating. Act quickly if it's a desirable offer.

Close the deal.
Once an offer is accepted, your agent will facilitate inspections, appraisal, loan process and closing preparations. You'll sign documents and then get the keys.
