Seller’s Guide
My Step-by-Step Home Selling Guide
Selling your home for the first time can feel like a lot, but with the right game plan, it doesn’t have to be. I will walk you through each step so you can feel confident, clear-headed, and fully supported as you move on to your next chapter.
STEP 1: GET CLEAR ON YOUR GOALS
Are you selling to level up to your dream home? Relocating for work? Downsizing?
Knowing why you’re selling helps shape every part of your strategy: From pricing to timeline to negotiation.
I will use this info to help tailor a plan that works for you.
STEP 2: SET THE RIGHT PRICE
Pricing your home correctly from the jump is key.
As your listing agent, I’ll conduct a full Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), review neighborhood trends, assess current competition, and advise you on a data driven, competitive price point that attracts serious, qualified buyers while protecting your equity.
Overpricing can cause your listing to sit, and underpricing could mean leaving money behind, my expertise ensures neither happens.
STEP 3: PREP YOUR HOME FOR THE MARKET
I’ll guide you room by room to identify where we can declutter, depersonalize, or enhance key features.
Whether it’s light repairs, a deep clean, or professional staging, I’ll coordinate and oversee the right prep to position your home in its best light.
These aren’t just cosmetic touches, they’re strategic adjustments designed to increase perceived value and appeal to the emotional triggers of today’s buyers.
STEP 4: STRATEGIC MARKETING, NOT JUST “LISTING”
This is where most agents stop, but I don’t just “stick it on the MLS and wait.”
I’ll create a tailored marketing plan that may include professional photography, drone footage, virtual tours, social media campaigns, email blasts, and direct outreach to my network of active buyers and top performing agents.
My goal is your goal: maximize exposure and create strong demand quickly.
STEP 5: REVIEWING AND NEGOTIATING OFFERS
When offers come in, you won’t be navigating them alone.
I’ll help you assess each one, looking beyond price to contingencies, timelines, financing strength, and buyer motivation.
If terms aren’t favorable, I’ll use my negotiation skills to advocate for what benefits you most, whether that’s a counter offer, credits, or unique solutions.
It’s my duty to ensure you’re protected at every turn.
STEP 6: ONCE ESCROW BEGINS, I’LL HANDLE THE DETAILS
Once you accept an offer, we enter escrow, and this is where the real coordination begins.
As your agent, I’ll manage every key date and document: escrow deposits, seller disclosures, inspection timelines, and closing cost responsibilities. I’ll walk you through what’s required, help avoid costly delays, and keep everything on schedule.
My job is to prevent surprises and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
STEP 7: PREPARE FOR CLOSING
During escrow, the buyer may order inspections and request repairs.
I’ll represent your interests during this phase, help you evaluate what’s reasonable, negotiate repair credits if needed, and keep everything moving forward.
I’ll also ensure your home is ready for the final walkthrough so there are no last-minute issues that could derail closing.
STEP 8: CLOSE & MOVE FORWARD
The sale becomes official once escrow closes, the title transfers, and funds are released.
I’ll coordinate final steps like utility shut-offs, key handoff, and document delivery.
You’ll never be left guessing what’s next I stay in close contact with escrow, the buyer’s agent, and all other parties to ensure a smooth, stress-free close.
