Step 1: Understand Why You're Selling

Every listing is different depending on the seller’s needs and wants. Each seller has their own specific requirements or list of items that are most important to them. It’s my job to listen to what matters to you most. Then, based on your criteria, I’m able to prepare a listing action plan that works best for you and your family with the goal of selling your home for top dollar. In today’s fast-paced real estate market, communication is key to a successful transaction. Effective communication is one of my top priorities.

Step 2: Set Your Selling Price and Complete Disclosures & Listing Agreement

Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the beginning, you’ll get the most interest from other real estate agents and prospective buyers. Pricing a home correctly from the start will help you maximize the attention on your home and allow you the best opportunity to get the highest possible offer.

Overpricing your home can lead to reduced interest and you lose that peak marketing time. You have the most leverage as a Seller in the first 30 days your home is on the market. Your listing is fresh and you have buyers’ attention. If your home is overpriced during this timeline to “see what kind of offer you can get” you’re sure to lose traffic and attention during this critical window.

After we decide on a fair selling price, we will work together to make sure we complete the proper paperwork in order to disclose everything about the property to a potential buyer. Then we will review and sign the Listing Agreement.

Step 3: Start Preparations

Before officially listing your home, it’s smart to pre-open title and escrow. This allows professionals to begin checking for any liens, ownership issues, or title discrepancies early on—ensuring your home has a clean and marketable title when buyers arrive. Taking this step ahead of time creates a smoother closing process, builds buyer confidence, and helps prevent last-minute delays.

Step 5: Evaluate Offers

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. I take this a step further and personally reach out to the Lender to gauge the level of the buyer pre-approval.

When an offer is received, we will review and evaluate the proposed contract to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components, such as the purchase offer amount, deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspections, appraisal (contingencies), settlement date, a list of fees and who will pay them, and any other terms included.

I will help you navigate the negotiation process and provide experienced feedback in regards to responding to offers.

When an offer is received, we conduct a thorough review of all terms — including purchase price, contingencies, financing, and proposed timelines. As your trusted real estate professional, I’ll guide you in evaluating the strength of the offer and negotiating strategically to secure the best possible outcome.
