Selling a Home
How to get started
Step One: Know Your Numbers
Market research is a critical first step when preparing to sell a home, and it goes far beyond what you’ll find on public websites like Zillow. While online tools may show recent sales in your area, they don’t provide the realtime analysis needed to accurately price your home. For a reliable evaluation, it's essential to work with a real estate professional who can prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which offers expert insights based on current market conditions, comparable properties, and buyer demand.
Agents have access to important details not visible on public websites, such as whether a home sold above or below asking price, how many offers it received, and how it compares in the eyes of an appraiser. This insight helps you price your home accurately, target the right audience, and anticipate potential challenges.
Submit your property details now to receive a personalized Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) within 48-hours tailored to your home’s unique features and market conditions.
Some other things to consider
Staging your home
High-impact updates don't need to break the bank, and sometimes a fresh coat of paint can go a long way. We can provide a checklist of what prep work you need to do before listing the home.
Pricing your home
Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important steps in the selling process. If the price is too high, you may miss the crucial window when interest is at its peak, causing the home to sit and lose momentum. If it’s too low, you risk leaving money on the table. A well-priced home captures attention, drives competitive interest, and sets the tone for a strong negotiation. The CMA is a great resource to use for this step.
Marketing
Once the home is staged, a professional photographer can really bring out the home’s beauty. With additional options like virtual staging, walkthrough tours, twilight photography, and drone videos, we have a long list of vendors that can help create the perfect marketing package.
Showing your home
When showing your home, it's important to consider factors such as cleanliness, lighting, clutter, and presentation. But one of the most underemphasized aspects of showings is the disruption. If the home is priced correctly, the first two weeks should yield at least 20-30 showings in the first two weeks. Are you ready for that?
