Selling your home is a complex, multi-step process that calls for The Elite Advantage. There are many things you’ll need to consider, and to help you through it, here’s a general overview on what to expect and prepare.
Get Your Finances in Order
Don’t worry if you’re still paying off your mortgage, there are several options depending on what type of mortgage you have. However, you’ll need to talk to your lender before you can proceed.
Meet With Your Real Estate Professional
It’s important to partner with a Real Estate professional that you feel completely comfortable with. Don’t fall for the trap of partnering with the first Real Estate Agent who suggests the highest asking price. A good Real Estate Professional can help you price your home to sell, answer questions like “When is a good time to sell?” and has in-depth knowledge of the market.
The Elite Advantage helps you with the selling process from beginning to end, and after the sale has closed. The Elite Advantage is a long-term relationship, not just a one-off.
Listing Your Home
Setting a price for your home takes many things into consideration. Setting a fair price could attract more potential buyers and give your home more exposure. Our team will be able to explain the many factors that influence pricing, including competitive pricing, current market stats, and of course the estimated value of your home. Part of the Elite Advantage is having a pre-listing home inspection done on each and every one of our listings. This ensures that we know about any issues- if any – before hitting that market. We’ll be an advisor and a resource when it comes to getting your home ready for market. From beginning to end – we value your trust.
Marketing And Promotion
The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives us permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service). We’ll then begin marketing your home through a variety of mediums — digital and traditional — and inform other REALTORS® (representing buyers) that your property is on the market.
Closing
After the hard work of prepping your home, along with marketing and showing your property, it is time to negotiate the best offer for you. Once you have accepted an offer, the deposit has been received and conditions have been met (if any) – your home is officially SOLD. Together with your lawyer, we will walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close. Congratulations on the sale of your home!
