The Selling 

Process

All right! You've done all the prep work, and now for the actual process of showing and selling your property. Here's what to expect once your property actually hits the market, and that For Sale sign appears in the front yard.

Market Your Property

Market Your Property

The key to selling a property is in finding the right buyers, and that requires a lot of marketing and advertising. This is where working with a skilled agent can really pay off. Skilled listing agents are skilled marketers. They know where to find the best buyers for your property, and they have access to a wealth of resources, including online listing services, print advertising distribution, large social media followings, and even local agent networks.

​

Show Your Property

In addition to scheduled open houses, your property can be shown at any time, so be prepared. Keep it neat, clean, organized, and staged. Don't leave dirty dishes or laundry lying around, be sure to dust and vacuum regularly, and promptly address any potential clutter buildups. Additionally, you should be ready to clear out of the house during showings to avoid making buyers uncomfortable.

Show Your Property

Negotiate and Accept

If a buyer wants to buy your property, they will make you a written offer, which usually states how much they'll pay, their mortgage amount, closing and occupancy dates, and any contingencies. You can either accept the offer or negotiate for different terms.

Negotiations can include your own contingencies, such as a first right of refusal if your buyer's offer is contingent on selling their property, making the offer contingent on you buying another property, or adding contingencies for closing and occupancy dates or buyer financing.
