Selling a home is a major financial and emotional decision, and being well-prepared can make all the difference in achieving a successful sale. Here are the most important steps every seller should take:

​ 

  1. Choose the Right Real Estate Professional
    Partnering with an experienced, knowledgeable agent is crucial. A trusted professional will guide you through pricing, marketing, negotiations, and legal requirements, making the process smoother and more profitable.

  2. Price Strategically
    Setting the right price from the start is key. Overpricing can deter buyers, while underpricing can leave money on the table. A comparative market analysis (CMA) helps determine the optimal price based on market conditions and recent sales.

  3. Prepare Your Home for the Market
    First impressions matter. Declutter, deep clean, and consider small repairs or updates that boost appeal. Professional staging and high-quality photography can significantly increase interest and perceived value.

  4. Be Flexible with Showings
    The more accessible your home is for showings, the more potential buyers will see it. Keep the home in showing-ready condition and be willing to accommodate reasonable viewing times.

  5. Disclose Honestly
    Being transparent about the condition of your home helps build trust and reduces the risk of complications during inspection and closing.

  6. Review Offers Carefully
    It’s not just about price, consider contingencies, closing timelines, financing terms, and the overall strength of each buyer when reviewing offers. Your agent can help you evaluate all aspects to make the best decision.

  7. Stay Informed and Responsive
    Selling a home involves many moving parts. Stay in close communication with your agent, respond promptly to requests or questions, and stay informed throughout the process to avoid delays or missed opportunities.

Pricing Your Property 

01

Start with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

A CMA provides insight into how similar properties in your area have recently performed. It compares active listings, pending sales, and sold homes to establish a realistic and competitive price range.

03

Avoid Emotional Pricing

It’s natural to feel your home is worth more due to personal attachments or the work you’ve put in, but buyers focus on market value. Keep emotions in check and rely on objective data.

05

Factor in Upgrades Realistically

While improvements may add value, not all upgrades translate dollar-for-dollar. Focus on how your updates compare to similar properties rather than assuming full return on investment.

02

Understand Local Market Conditions

Pricing should reflect current market trends, whether it's a seller’s market, buyer’s market, or balanced market. An experienced real estate professional can interpret local data and advise on pricing strategies accordingly.

04

Don’t Overprice to “Test the Market”

Overpricing can backfire, causing the listing to sit too long and lose momentum. Buyers often assume something is wrong with a home that’s been on the market too long, even if the issue was just price.

06

Price is your most powerful marketing tool

Pricing a home correctly isn’t about guessing, it’s about strategy, research, and expert guidance. A carefully calculated price can mean the difference between a quick, successful sale and a prolonged, frustrating process.
