So you want to sell your house? Congrats on getting to this point! I know this may be a/an (insert word of choice) exciting, hard, tiring, emotional and/or freeing time in your life.
I want you going into this process as informed as possible. Over the next few days, I will break things down and help demystify the home selling process and help you plan for the days, weeks and months ahead.
Questions and Homework for Today:
Today I would like you to think through (if you haven’t already): will you work alongside an agent? are you thinking about selling yourself (also known as a For Sale by Owner or F.S.B.O. for short)? Do you just not know what to do? Have you sold a home before? Has it been awhile since you last sold a home? Are you a first time seller? Don’t stress over answers here – this is where an agent comes in to help. There are no right or wrong answers.
Next Up on the Journey to Sell Your House:
With these questions addressed you will find the path forward becomes more clear (but also a bit more approach specific). Rest assured, no matter the path you choose, I will offer some thoughts to keep you moving towards your goal of success (aka selling your house).
What’s Next?
In the days ahead – I will walk you through the following topics: Demystifying how you will sell your home, helping you through selling your home when you don’t know how/where to start, working with an agent, establishing the team (assuming you go the agent route), contracts and paperwork (Round 1) and outlining timing (to help with expectations), getting ready to list, marketing your home, understanding how people will see your home, the offer process, accepting an offer, price reductions (if necessary) and lastly closing.
