DEAR FUTURE SELLER...
Selling a property requires a Real Estate Agent’s expertise due to its complex and step-by-step nature. Many factors need careful consideration. To give you a clear idea, here’s a basic overview of what to expect and prepare for.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN SELLING A PROPERTY?
GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER
No need to stress – if you’re currently working on paying off your home loan, there are various paths you can take, depending on the type of mortgage you have. However, it’s crucial to take that first step and have a chat with your lender before you make any decisions. This will help you understand the choices available to you and ensure you’re on the right track to move forward confidently with your mortgage repayment journey.
MEET WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT
It’s important to work with a Real Estate Agent you’re comfortable with. Don’t just go with the first one who suggests the highest selling price. Take your time and consider different options. A good Real Estate Agent can help you choose the right price to sell your property, answer questions like “When should I sell?”, and understand the market well.
To find a good Real Estate Agent, start by asking friends and family if they know someone. You can also search online to find the best and most experienced ones. Look for ads and signs for properties that are for sale in your area to gather more information.
LISTING YOUR HOME
Choosing a super low or super high price for your house isn’t a good idea. Picking the right price will attract more potential buyers and make your house more noticeable.
Your Real Estate Agent should be able to explain all the things that affect the price. This includes looking at similar houses for sale, checking the latest market info, and figuring out how much your house is worth.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
Next, the next step is to sign a Listing Agreement. This gives your REALTOR® permission to show your house on the MLS (where many properties are listed). After that, they’ll start advertising your house online and in other ways. They’ll also tell other REALTORS® who might have buyers interested in your house. Your dedicated REALTOR® can also help you get your house ready to be shown to potential buyers.
CLOSING
After putting in a lot of effort to market and promote your home, you might end up having several people interested in buying it. Once you decide on the offer you want to accept, the buyer will probably want to inspect your home carefully. If there are any repairs that need to be done, you’ll discuss them with the buyer and decide who will cover the costs.
As time goes on, your lawyer and Real Estate Agent will guide you through all the complex paperwork and legal steps that are needed to close the sale.
Congratulations are definitely in order! With the successful sale of your home, you’re now ready to begin the exciting journey of finding a new place to live. It’s a big step, and we wish you all the best in your new adventure.
