How does the process of beginning to buy or sell work?

Everyone’s situation is different and there can sometimes be a lot of moving pieces involved in buying or selling a house. It’s best to contact me earlier than you think to see what preparation needs to happen with real estate. Here are the basic steps for buying and selling a home…

Buying a home:

  • Decide your criteria and area for the home you’d like to search for
  • Get pre-approved by a LOCAL lender (ask me why!)
  • Tour homes
  • Put in an offer on the one you like best
  • Go under contract and do your due diligence during the option period
  • Meet the conditions from the lender (appraisal and underwriting)
  • Receive the Clear to Close from the lender and title company
  • Close on the home and move in!

Selling a home:

  • Meet with me to talk about the selling process
  • Sign a listing agreement and agency forms
  • Decide on the best market price
  • Declutter and stage the home
  • Photograph the home and begin marketing
  • Go LIVE on the MLS
  • Open houses and showings
  • Negotiate and accept the best offer
  • Negotiate inspection repairs
  • Appraiser sets the value for the buyer’s lender
  • Receive the Clear To Close from the buyer’s lender and title company
  • Close on the home and move out!
