Your Guide to a Seamless Sale

1

Decide to Sell

  • Consider your reasons for selling: Whether it's due to relocation, need for more space, or financial reasons, be clear on why you're selling.
  • Evaluate market conditions: Research the current real estate market to understand if it's a good time to sell.
2

Choose a Real Estate Agent

  • Interview agents: Look for an experienced agent who understands your local market, like Justin. Discuss their strategy for selling your home, commission rates, and references.
  • Sign a listing agreement: This legal document outlines the terms of your agreement with your agent, including the duration of the contract and the agent's commission.
3

Prepare Your Home

  • Declutter and depersonalize: Make your home appealing to potential buyers by removing personal items and clutter.
  • Make repairs and upgrades: Fix any issues and consider making updates that could increase your home's value.
  • Stage your home: Arrange furniture and decor to showcase your home's best features.
4

Set a Price

  • Conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA): Your agent will compare your home to similar properties that have sold recently to help set a competitive price.
  • Consider market conditions: Adjust your pricing strategy based on whether it's a buyer's or seller's market.
5

Market Your Home

  • Professional photos and listings: Use high-quality photos and create compelling listing descriptions to attract buyers.
  • Utilize multiple channels: Your agent should list your home on the MLS and promote it through social media, real estate websites, and other marketing avenues.
6

Show Your Home

  • Host open houses and private showings: Be flexible with your schedule to allow potential buyers to visit your home.
  • Maintain condition: Keep your home clean and staged throughout the selling process.
7

Receive and Negotiate Offers

  • Review offers carefully: Consider the price, buyer qualifications, and any contingencies.
  • Negotiate terms: Work with your agent to negotiate the best terms possible.
8

Close the Sale

  • Hire a closing agent or attorney: They will handle the legal paperwork and ensure all legal requirements are met.
  • Complete necessary repairs and move out: Fulfill any agreed-upon repair requests and prepare to vacate the home.
  • Finalize the transaction: Sign the closing documents, transfer the title, and receive the sale proceeds.
9

Post-Sale

  • Keep records: Store all your selling documents securely for future reference, especially for tax purposes.
  • Change your address: Update your address with the post office, banks, and other important institutions.

What Home Sellers Say

"Justin was awesome. I'm way more needy than most and he took care of me and calmed my anxiety. I'd use him again definitely and will pass his name along to my friends. If you had a 'master realtor' category I'd include him."

— Homeseller

"We sold our house during COVID, some think might be difficult because all the open houses were canceled. But Justin took the lead and right away he made a virtual tour of our house and he made sure we feel safe during showings. He knows how to sell a property fast. I really recommend him. You will gain a friend."
