From first look
to closing.
A contractor’s eye helps here: knowing which repairs matter to buyers, which updates are worth it before listing, and which are better left alone.
Understand your home’s value
A comparative market analysis looks at recent sales, active competition, and your home’s condition and features to suggest a realistic price range.
Prepare the home
Decluttering, small repairs, cleaning, and curb appeal help buyers see the home at its best. Some sellers also choose a pre-listing inspection to avoid surprises.
Market the listing
Professional photos, a strong listing description, MLS exposure, and showings bring the home in front of buyers.
Review offers and negotiate
Compare offers on more than price: financing, contingencies, earnest money, and closing timeline all affect how likely a deal is to close.
Under contract to closing
Expect the buyer’s inspection, appraisal, and possible repair negotiations. Stay responsive to paperwork and deadlines until closing.
Thinking about timing?
- Your best timing depends on your next move, your finances, and local inventory.
- Talk it through before you commit to a date or to work on the house.
- If you’re weighing selling against renting the home out, ask about both paths.
