Steps To Selling Your Home

When we represent a seller, we have your best interests at heart.

Whether you’re selling a $100,000 home or a $10 million home, you will get our full attention, 24/7 availability, top-notch staging advice, professional marketing, tough negotiating skills, and amazing photographers as well as our expert and honest advice.  

We believe it’s our job to not only sell your home for the highest price but to do so quickly with as little stress and interruption in your life as possible.  We go above and beyond for every seller from using our own furniture to stage your house when needed, arranging for our contractors to do repairs during the inspection period, to helping you find professional packers and movers. Still need more proof that we’re really good at what we do? Read reviews on us on Yelp, Zillow, and Trulia.

If you’re interested in working with us, please download our seller checklist. This checklist contains the steps we will follow together from A to Z to sell your home for top dollar. Second, please fill out our Ready to Sell survey so we can set up a time to chat with you as well as conduct a free market analysis of your home. Third, check out the estimate of the seller’s closing costs which is the approximate amount of fees you will need to pay out of the sales price to sell your home.

Lastly, when you work with us, we will educate you throughout the process using our expert knowledge as well as our blog posts to explain each step of the transaction.

We promise you’ll be in good hands.  Click through the below steps to understand everything that happens from now through closing to get your home sold:
