Steps for Selling Your Home

Prepare your home for market. This could include a number of things, but the process entails decluttering, depersonalizing, and making improvements and/or updates. As your real estate advisors, we will guide you in making smart decisions to increase the value of your home to potential buyers. For some of these items, you may want to utilize the Compass Concierge Program, which fronts the costs of preparing your home for resale. The funds are paid back interest free at closing.

Review marketing strategy. We will prepare a comprehensive marketing plan to sell your home as quickly and as profitably as possible with your specific goals in mind. We will discuss staging, floorplans, photography, advertising, and marketing collateral so that you know exactly what we are doing to get your home sold.

Fill out Seller's Disclosure. The Seller’s Disclosure is a required document for home resale in which you disclose everything you know about the home’s condition to potential buyers. This document must be filled out to the best of your knowledge. As your realtors, we will help you to determine what is necessary to disclose to ensure you are well protected from complaints after the sale.
Launch your listing on Compass Coming Soon. This is a great opportunity to get eyes on your property before going live and creating buzz. Only Compass agents have access to this one of a kind database that gives you an opportunity to market your listing prior to accumulating days on the Multiple Listing Service. This allows us to test the market or potentially sell your home before it hits the market formally and starts to accrue days on market.
Complete any staging, updates, and/or renovations. We want to make sure all necessary projects are completed before formally listing your property on the Multiple Listing Service. Your home should be ready to show to potential buyers from Day 1 on the MLS.
Photograph your home. We only use professional photographers who use an elevated and editorial approach. These individuals are practiced at presenting homes in the best possible way. An experienced real estate photographer knows how to leverage angles and frame references to create eye-catching photographs that entice potential buyers to click on your listing. These costs are part of our scope as full-service real estate agents.
