SELLING REAL ESTATE
01
DECIDING TO SELL
The decision to sell your real estate property can come about in different ways. Sometimes, it's something that simply must be done, as in a divorce or death. Other times, the market holds an irresistible opportunity. There are many reasons why properties become available, and working with a professional real estate agent will help you get top dollar in any type of real estate market. It all starts with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that helps you land on a smart list price reflecting your priorities.
02
PRE-SALE & SALE
Before you go to market, it's important to assess what you have for sale. Given your priorities, does it make sense to do any kind of pre-sale work like professional cleaning, staging, or even repairs or remodels? What kind of return can you expect on a certain upgrade? An experienced real estate agent will be able to help you with these questions and suggest ideas you may not have considered. They will market your house exhaustively to multiple audiences to find you the perfect buyer, and will represent you - and your property - well.
03
OFFER ACCEPTANCE & ESCROW
You get a great offer - congratulations! But it's too soon to celebrate. A number of things must happen, from inspections to appraisals, and contingency releases and disclosures, and more, before you can say you've closed. Make sure you have a real estate agent you trust to guide you through escrow territory.
04
CLOSING & BEYOND
whether it's the first home you've ever sold or the hundredth, your liquidated real estate asset will have a new life elsewhere, whether in another real estate purchase or in a retirement account. Let your real estate professional provide quarterly updates on the real estate market to help inform your next financial decision - an opportunity may be just around the corner.
