So, take a seat, put on your glasses, and let's get started!
Step 1: Find and Hire a Real Estate Agent
The ideal agent for you is crucial.

After all selling your home it's one of the biggest transaction you will ever make. So hire a real estate professional you fell comfortable with. So where do you start?

Here is where you can start:
- Check online testimonials
- Ask for recommendations,
- Ensure the agent specializes in properties like yours.
Step 2: Determine Your Home Value in the Current Market

If you are curious about your home worth now.
Note: If you are planning to buy and sell a home a the same time I can't stress enough how crucial the pricing strategy is.
Step 3: Prepare Your Home: Stage for the Best First Impression
Preparation is key.
There is one one change to make a great first impression.
If you are interested in selling as-is. We can do that but that's a topic for another day.
Now, this is literally the process I go through with my clients. (Look I'm already working to make the sale of your home a success...)
- Part 1: Follow the 3D plan: deep cleaning, organization, and depersonalization.
- Part 2: Consider the MUR strategy (maintenance, updates, and repairs). We won't talk about it in this article but, it's an effective strategy in the home selling process. Improve the curb appeal of your home to make a positive impression.
Now, it's worth mentioning that you don't have to do any of these things or stage your home. And we can talk about that during our consultation.
Step 4: List Your Home
It's Show time!
Everyone take your places! Ha Ha Ha
It doesn't work that way, but it is how a roleplay it in my head when I hit the active button.
Listing your property is like putting it under the spotlight. We highlight all unique features and create a story that connects with potential buyers.
We do it all to attract home buyers looking for a property like yours.
You only need one to sell your home but I would be nice to get multiple offers. (just my thinking)
Step 5: Market Your Home
This is where I shine!
We advertise, share, we go live and we let everyone who would be interested in your home that it is for sale. We do this until we get a buyer or we get a buyer.
But seriously, It's important implement online and offline marketing strategies. Here is an example of the different marketing strategies we use, but there are a lot more, so let's talk!
