SELLING YOUR HOME

• Key points to remember:

  • Consult your lender:

    Before listing your home, discuss your mortgage situation with your lender to understand your options depending on your current loan type. 

  • Choose the right REALTOR®:

    Research and interview several agents to find one you trust who has in-depth knowledge of your local market and can accurately price your home. 

  • Proper pricing:

    Setting a fair market price is crucial to attract buyers and maximize exposure; your REALTOR® can help you determine this based on comparable properties and current market trends. 

  • Listing agreement:

    Once you select a REALTOR®, you'll sign a listing agreement which authorizes them to market your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). 

  • Home staging and marketing:

    Your REALTOR® will help prepare your home for viewings by staging it to showcase its best features and promote it through various online and traditional marketing channels. 

  • Offer review and negotiations:

    When you receive offers, carefully review each one with your REALTOR® and negotiate terms with potential buyers. 

  • Home inspection:

    After accepting an offer, the buyer will typically request a home inspection to identify any potential issues that may need repairs. 

  • Closing process:

    Once all contingencies are met, you will finalize the sale with your lawyer and REALTOR® by signing necessary paperwork and transferring ownership of the property. Before listing your home, discuss your mortgage situation with your lender to understand your options depending on your current loan type.
