Step 1: Meet With Us
The first step is to arrange an appointment with us. Starting
with an at home appointment, enables us to gather key specifications
of your property in order to assemble an adequate CMA (Comparative
Market Analysis). The CMA will give you an idea of what your property
may be worth.
Step 2: Preparing Your Property
The second step is to prepare your property for sale. To do this,
you will first need to sever your emotions with the property.
This is very important and can affect the sale if not done immediately.
It's necessary to allow your REALTOR®'s experience to determine
your best options instead of sentimental value that you may have
for your property.
Next, you will need to depersonalize your property. This allows
potential buyers to view the property in a way that makes it feel
as though it could be their own. To achieve this, you will need
to remove any and all clutter, personal photos as well as items
or decor that gives it your own personal touch. You may wish to
consider a storage facility or a moving sale to eliminate any
unnecessary items. Simply placing clutter and/or personal items
in a box and storing it in the garage or attic, won't free up
the necessary space to fully display your property. Your REALTOR®
can help point out items that are best removed or rearranged.
Then, making necessary repairs and doing routine maintenance
is next. Fixing leaky faucets, applying a fresh coat of paint
or pulling weeds are some things that may need special attention.
Remember, potential buyers need to see your property at its best.
Step 3: Remove Items From The Property
This step will save a lot of misunderstanding and possible trouble
when potential buyers come to view your property. If you intend
to take personal items (e.g. antique chandelier, etc.) currently
attached to the property with you when you move, it's recommended
that they are removed prior to the property being shown.
If during the buyer's final walk-through, they notice the beautiful
chandelier, backyard fountain or other specific fixtures that
became factors in their decision, missing, they may pull out of
the sale. We understand that all items may not be able to be removed,
with that, we can make special notes on your listing that indicate
the items do not convey with the property.
Step 4: Maintain The Property's Condition
This step is very important. Once you have prepared the property
for sale, it is imperative that the property is preserved in the
same condition for each prospective buyer that comes to view it.
This includes leaving all the lights on, blinds open and curtains
drawn every time you leave the property, even if it's for a quick
drive to the store. First impressions can be critical in this
industry. You don't want a potential buyer to view the property
when it isn't properly displayed.
Step 5: Remain Flexible
When selling, remaining flexible is as important as being patient.
An outright acceptance of the listing price may not always be
the case. You may receive an offer that is sensibly within range
of your asking price. You can always submit a counter offer that
mutually benefits both parties rather than automatically rejecting
it. Accepting an offer reasonably within range of your listing
price, may be more beneficial than continuing to pay the monthly
mortgage payment and waiting for another potential buyer.
