Step By Step Process to Selling Your Home

If you are thinking about selling your home, there is a lot to consider. Selling your home can be a complex process, which requires working with an agent committed to making the sale as painless and lucrative as possible. As your listing agent, it is my goal to sell your home at the highest realistic price in the fastest possible time. Here's how the process works. 

Step 1: Find a Realtor you can trust…

Selling a home is one of the largest investments people make. Therefore, it is extremely important to seek qualified assistance from a REALTOR that you like and can trust.   I believe in providing all my clients with honest and accurate information so you can make well-informed decisions regarding the sale of your home. When a person seeks out the services of a Realtor, they do so for the same reasons they search out the assistance of a CPA, a doctor, or a lawyer. They have a need that requires skills of a specialist. Today the marketplace is rapidly changing and becoming more demanding. New technology, laws, procedures, sophisticated buyers and sellers require real estate practitioners to perform at a higher level of expertise and professionalism. With this in mind, it is important to have a clear understanding of what and who you are hiring when you employ the services of an “expert” Realtor. 

Step 2: Determining the Value of Your 

Property…

There are several factors to consider when determining the value of your property. These key market factors include location, competition, timing, condition, and terms of your property. As your Realtor, I will provide you with a in-depth comparative market analysis (CMA) report to assist you in properly pricing your home accurately. This requires the expertise and knowledge of the current market.

Step 3: The Listing Contract...

Once you have the information you need to make a well-informed decision we write a listing contract (Seller Agent Agreement). This contract guarantees, by the laws of Colorado that your needs are met professionally and represented throughout the entire process of selling your home. I work hard to have your back. In addition, this contract designates that you are exclusively working with your Realtor. 

Step 4: Preparing Your Home to Sell...

The first impressions of your home are the most lasting. Therefore, “staging” your home and using several marketing tools may influence how long your home is on the market. Danielle is a certified interior designer and will provide techniques to maximize your profit.  

Step 5: Marketing and Showing Your Home...

Step 6: Negotiate the Sale…

When an offer comes in on your property, you should evaluate the terms offered and respond immediately. I have extensive experience in contract negotiations. I will ensure you a transaction in your best interest.

Step 7: The Contract
Once an offer has been negotiated and accepted, your home goes “under contract.” At this time, there are several important deadlines and demands. As your Realtor, I will keep you well informed of dates and your responsibilities. If you are also a buyer, we will begin to find the home of your dreams. I will coordinate both home sales and ensure that they close properly and on time.

Step 8: The Inspection & Appraisal... 

The buyer has the right to request an inspection of your property. The inspection includes the physical condition of the property and its inclusions. Although the buyer pays for the inspection, you may be responsible to repair/replace negotiated items. Danielle has a team of experts to provide home services if needed, such as, radon mitigation, licensed HVAC, plumbers and electricians and many more. 

Step 9: The Closing…

You’re on the “HOME” Stretch!

Don’t forget to think ahead. At closing you may be required to pay fees for title insurance and other closing costs. Typically, these fees range between 2-3% of the sale amount plus Realtor commissions. The title company and Danielle will provide you with an estimated closing amount, well before the closing date so you know how much money you walk away with.

Step 10: The Move and After Closing!

The final step is the beginning to your new endeavors. Danielle works hard for your satisfaction so that you will continue to use her in future transaction and as a referral source to family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. She has an extensive referral source nation wide as well so if you need a Realtor in a different state, she can help.
