Prepare to Sell
When it comes to selling your property, first impressions matter. The better your home looks and feels, the more likely it is to attract serious buyers—and higher offers. Here’s how to prepare your home for a successful sale:
Key Steps to Prepare Your Property
Curb Appeal
Keeping your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard, such as colorful annuals, will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers.
Property Repairs
Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten up the property.
Cleanliness and Staging
Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom. Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned. Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.
Disclosures and Inspections
We are very familiar with the legal procedures involved in disclosures and are ready to help you develop a thorough disclosure statement beneficial to both you and the buyer, as well as suggest home improvement measures before placing your property on the market (such as termite and pest inspections).
Showtime
- Presenting your property to potential buyers is a job that we will take care of for you. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the agent, if you are not there. Moreover, your agent will know what information will be most useful in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers.
With our expert guidance, preparing your home for sale becomes a smooth and rewarding experience setting you up for the best possible outcome.
Accepting an offer
Accepting an offer and closing a sale involve much more than just looking at the price. Our professionals guide you through every step, helping you evaluate proposals, negotiate terms ethically, and ensure a smooth and legally sound transaction.
The Price Is Not Always Right
We take the ethical responsibility of fairly negotiating contractual terms very seriously. It is our job to find a win-win agreement that is beneficial to all parties involved. You may even have to deal with multiple offers before ratifying the one you judge to be the most suitable for you and as your agents, we will guarantee a thorough and objective assessment of each offer to help you make the right choice.
Negotiating The Right Way
Negotiating is more than just going back and forth it’s about creating win-win solutions. Whether you’re reviewing a single offer or navigating multiple proposals, we’ll objectively assess each one and represent your interests at every turn. Our ethical approach ensures that both you and the buyer reach a fair and beneficial agreement.
The Initial Agreement and Deposit
An effective agreement is a legal arrangement between the buyer and seller. Depending on local laws, a deposit (initial and additional) may be required and held in escrow until all conditions or contingencies are met.
Tips to Streamline the Process
Keep Written Records: Convert all verbal agreements, counter-offers, and addendums into signed written documents. We assist with drafting and provide copies of everything.
Stick to the Schedule: Once an offer is chosen, follow the timeline for each stage of the closing process. Meeting deadlines ensures smoother negotiations and compliance with agreements. We keep you updated throughout every step.
Accepting the right offer is not just about the price it’s about strategy, structure, and timing. Let us guide you to the smartest choice.
Escrow inspections & appraisals
Before closing a sale, buyers typically perform inspections and appraisals to verify the condition and value of the property. Our professionals guide you through these steps, ensuring a smooth process while protecting your interests and helping you respond effectively to any contingencies.
Inspections and Appraisals
Most buyers hire licensed inspectors to evaluate the property within the agreed timeframe. Some may use multiple specialists (e.g., roof, HVAC, structure) for detailed opinions. If the sale depends on financing, a licensed appraiser will determine the property’s value for the lending institution. Commercial buyers may also request environmental audits or soil tests as required.
The Closing Agent
A title company or attorney acts as the closing agent, ensuring the property’s title is clear of encumbrances (e.g., mortgages, liens, leases) and certifying all new encumbrances are properly recorded.
Contingencies
Contingencies are conditions that must be met before a contract is legally binding, such as satisfactory inspection reports or financing approval. Buyers may inspect the property extensively, including roof, pests, chimney, HVAC, pool, septic, mold, and more.
Depending on inspection outcomes, one of two things may happen:
Each milestone is successfully met, removing contingencies and moving closer to closing.
The buyer requests renegotiation of contract terms, usually the price.
A professional listing agent ensures you respond fairly and objectively, protecting your interests while guiding negotiations.
Loan Approval and Appraisal
We recommend accepting buyers with pre approval, approval letters, or written loan commitments, which provide stronger assurance than pre-qualifications. The lender’s appraiser will verify that the sales price is appropriate.
Our expertise ensures that you navigate inspections, appraisals, and negotiations with clarity, confidence, and control.
Close of escrow
You’ve reached the final stage of the selling process. Before the deal is officially closed, there are still a few important steps to complete. Our team will make sure everything is in order so you can finalize the sale with confidence and peace of mind.
Closing Day
If you have come this far, this means that it is almost time for a congratulations, but not yet. Do not forget to tie up these loose ends:
Final Walk-Through Inspection
More of a formality than anything else, the final inspection takes place the day before, or the day of the closing. The buyer visits the property to verify that all is in working order, everything is the same as when the buyer last viewed the property, and that there are no extra items left behind.
Cancel Home Services and Utilities
We will provide a list of useful numbers for the termination of home services and utilities after the closing occurs.
Be Prepared
We are ready to assist you should an unforeseen glitch pop up, even at this last stage. If something at the property breaks down or the buyers’ loan does not pull through on time, there is no need to worry. We have encountered these problems before so we know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manner.
Closing
The closing agent provides all parties with a settlement statement detailing the financial transactions. Both buyer and seller sign this document along with the closing agent.
If you cannot attend the closing in person, alternative arrangements can be made with proper notice. Sellers receiving funds may choose between a wire transfer or a check issued at closing. Finally, all property keys and relevant information should be delivered to the buyer at this time.
With our expert guidance, closing day becomes a smooth, seamless transition marking the successful completion of your sale.
