The Selling Process

The Selling Process

Selling a home is more complicated because you’re not only selling one property but probably trying to find a new place to live. Here are some steps to take to ensure you’re prepared.

1.Find a Texas REALTOR^®

Why?  As a being Texas REALTOR^® I will save you time and money by setting the correct price for your home, marketing and showing your property, advising you about the pros and cons of offers submitted for your home, helping you negotiate favorable terms, and , and negotiating on your behalf. 

2. Listing Agreement

The listing agreement allows me to sell your home during a given period and compensates me when your home sells.  The amount of compensation, the length of the listing period, and other terms in the agreement are negotiable.

3. Set a Market Price

If you set your home price too much, you may not find a buyer. If you price your home too low, you’ll cheat yourself out of money with quick transaction.  Websites with quickie value estimators aren’t the way to determine the value of your home. I am Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and I can help you determine the right price for your home.

4. Marketing

In preparing your home for viewing by prospective buyers, remember that people buy on emotions with reasonable price. Your home has to feel/look right, or buyers will look elsewhere. Try to look at your home objectively and listen to suggestions from me about ways to make your home more appealing, such as cleaning, de-cluttering, removing personal items like pictures, making cosmetic repairs, etc. I will advertise you listing har.com, Zillow.com and others, doing open houses, putting Sunday’s newsletter etc/

5. Consider Your Option for offers

When a buyer makes an offer, what do you do?  Your Texas REALTOR^® will help you review it and understand the pros and cons.  If you’re lucky enough to have more than one offer, he or she will discuss your options to do what’s best for you.  Once an offer is accepted by you and the buyers, the buyers will perform inspections and finalize the deal.
