Decide To Sell

So you are thinking of selling a property. There are many reasons that could be leading you towards this decision. Do you want to purchase a larger property or perhaps need a change in scenery? Does a different neighbourhood appeal to you more than your current one?

Whatever your selling purpose is, I am here to guide you and find you the best deal for your home. To do this, I’ll need to assess your selling intentions and urgency. Before you proceed to the next steps, ask yourself the following questions:

  • When should you sell?
  • What is the market like?
  • How can you optimize your finances?

Preparation

Your home or property’s appeal can be increased to create a lasting impact on potential buyers. Here are a couple of factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

  • Curb Appeal: Make sure that your landscape is pristine. Adding creative touches to your yard can also help in getting the buyer’s attention
  • Property Repairs: Some sellers underestimate the importance of polishing the doorknobs, painting the walls, or upgrading the windows. These little changes can increase your home value in the eyes of the buyers.
  • Cleanliness and Staging: You would not buy a home that is not up to standards with your ideal level of cleanliness and neither would other buyers. Keep your home organized, smelling sweet, and clean during the selling process.
  • Disclosures and Inspections: I will help you develop a thorough disclosure statement that is beneficial to both you and the buyer. I may also suggest home improvement measures before placing your property in the market.
  • Showtime: This part is worry-free for you. I’ll take care of showing your home to the most serious buyers with the goal of getting you the best offer possible with promptness.

Choosing An Agent & Price

Having an expert that works with you during the selling process will enable you to maximize your opportunities in the current Real Estate market.

I will provide you with access to extensive contact networks that have been strategically developed to ensure that your property does not become stagnant in the marketplace.

I also have marketing tools readily available to present your home to potential buyers in a trusted manner.

Accepting An Offer

My priority is to sell your home as quick as you want it sold, but I also want to get you the right deal for your property. Here are some factors to consider during the offer stages:

  • The Price Is Not Always Right: Getting an offer with a high price is not always the best deal for you. I’m here to check all of the terms for each offer you get and help you select the best option for your needs
  • Negotiating the Right Way: The goal is to find a win-win situation. This means that you win and the buyer wins. Selling your home is not a losing matter for either you or the buyer. I approach each sale with a mentality that is positive for both parties.
  • The Initial Agreement and Deposit: An effective agreement is a legal arrangement between a potential purchaser and the property’s seller. This consideration is to be held in the closing agent’s trust account pending the fulfillment of conditions or contingencies in the effective agreement.

Transfer of Title & Inspections and Appraisals

The majority of buyers will have properties inspected by licensed property inspectors within the timeframe that was agreed upon in the effective contract of purchase. If the agreement is conditional upon financing, then a licensed appraiser will appraise the property to determine the value for the lending institution.  

A title company or an attorney will be selected as the closing agent, whose job is to examine and insure clear title to Real Estate. Their duty is to certify that your title is free and clear of encumbrances by the date of closing and that all new encumbrances are duly included in the title.  

A contingency is a condition that must be met before a contract becomes legally binding. Before completing his or her purchase of your property, a buyer goes over every aspect of the property, as provided for by purchase agreements and any applicable addendums. Depending on the outcome of these inspections, one of two things may happen:

  • Either each milestone is successfully closed and the contingencies will be removed, bringing you one step closer to closing
  • The buyer, after reviewing the property and the papers, requests a renegotiation of the term of contract (usually price)

My suggestion would be to accept buyers who have a lender’s approval, approval letter, or written loan commitment, which is a better guarantee of a loan approval than a pre-qualification or no documentation from a lending institute.

Closing

If you have come this far, this means that it is almost time for congratulation! However, it is important to remember that there are still loose ends.  

A final walk-through is the first step to closing (this is more of a formality than anything else). The buyer will visit the property the day before or the day of closing. This is to verify that everything is in working order and in the same condition as when it was last viewed.  

Once the walk-through is completed, you will have to cancel your home services and utilities after closing occurs. In the case that an unforeseen situation takes place, please know that I am here to assist and coach you.
