Steps for Selling Your Home

Selling your house involves multiple steps, from preparing the property to closing the sale.

1. Prepare Your Home for Sale

Declutter & Depersonalize – Remove personal items, excess furniture, and clutter to make the space look open and inviting.
Clean – Ensure the house is clean.
Make Repairs & Improvements – Fix minor issues like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or peeling paint. Consider low-cost upgrades like new paint or landscaping.
Stage Your Home – Arrange furniture to showcase the space effectively.

2. Set the Right Price

Research the Market – Check recent sales of similar homes in your area.
Get a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) – A real estate agent can provide an estimate based on local trends.
Consider an Appraisal – A professional appraisal can give you an accurate home value.
Price Strategically – Overpricing can lead to a stale listing, while underpricing can leave money on the table.

3. Hire a Real Estate Agent or Sell Yourself

Agent Option – A real estate agent will market your home, negotiate offers, and handle paperwork. Marketing your home will include:
Professional Photos & Videos – High-quality images attract more buyers.
List on MLS & Online Platforms – Sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin can help reach more buyers.
Use Social Media & Ads – Facebook, Instagram, and paid ads can increase visibility.
Host Open Houses & Showings – Schedule private showings and open house events for potential buyers.

4. Review Offers & Negotiate

Evaluate Offers – Look at price, contingencies, and buyer financing.
Negotiate Terms – You can counteroffer on price, closing costs, or contingencies.
Accept the Best Offer – Once you agree on terms, the buyer will submit an earnest money deposit.

5. Handle Inspections & Appraisals

Home Inspection – The buyer will schedule an inspection. Be prepared for repair requests.
Appraisal – If the buyer has a mortgage, their lender will require an appraisal to confirm the home’s value.
Resolve Issues – Negotiate repairs or price adjustments based on inspection and appraisal results.

6. Prepare for Closing

Work with Title & Escrow – They will handle the legal paperwork, title search, and final transaction details.
Sign the Final Documents – Once everything is in order, you’ll sign the closing documents.
Transfer Ownership – Hand over the keys to the new owner and receive your sale proceeds.

7. Move Out & Final Steps

Complete the Move – Pack up and vacate before the closing date.
Cancel Utilities & Insurance – Transfer or cancel services for the new owner.
Keep Copies of Closing Documents – You may need them for tax purposes or future reference.

Tips for Packing and Moving

Starts with a Plan!

Moving can feel overwhelming, but with a solid plan, it can be much smoother. Here are some helpful tips to make packing and moving stress-free:

1. Start Early & Stay Organized

Begin packing at least a few weeks in advance, starting with non-essential items.
Label all boxes clearly with their contents and destination room.
Create a moving checklist to track tasks and deadlines.

Sort items into keep, donate, sell, and toss categories.
Sell unwanted items online or hold a garage sale.
Donate to local charities to lighten your load.

3. Gather Packing Supplies

Sturdy boxes in different sizes.
Packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper for fragile items.
Markers and labels to keep track of everything.

4. Pack Smart

Pack room by room to stay organized.
Use small boxes for heavy items (like books) and large boxes for light items (like pillows).
Wrap fragile items carefully and fill empty spaces with packing paper or towels.
Pack essentials separately (toiletries, medications, chargers, snacks, and important documents).

5. Moving Day Prep

Have a plan for kids and pets to keep them safe and stress-free.
Confirm details with movers or friends helping you.
Do a final walkthrough to check for forgotten items.

6. Unpack Strategically
