Let’s break down the home selling process in five easy to follow steps.

Step One - Finish Projects

Close out all those unifinshed Construction projects as best as you can. Any unfinished work is just going to become a negotiation point and gives the buyer leverage. Even if it means reversing a project or just covering it up aesthetically.

Step Two - Move Out or Minimize Occupancy

It sounds extreme to move out, but having an empty listing has a lot of advantages in a sale. Here is are high level reasons why you want to vacate the property as much as possible.

1. Repairs are easier with everyhting out of the way

3. Decor staging with trained interior decorators & designers is key to max sales price
4. Videography and photopgrahy is dramatically improved
5. It is proven buyers want to see the listing, clear of your effects.

Step Three - Get Expert Help

Work with a licensed real estate agent for buyer search and negotiationt. A competent real estate agent makes home selling much easier! Hire a reliable agent who will help you search for buyers and support the bidding and negotiations. Real Estate professionals have access to buyers all over the World.

Step Four - Appraisal and Loaning

The house must be evaluated by the agent and lender’s appraiser before finalizing the deal. Most listing sales will include an inspection. The result of that inspection can have diffent effects in this process of the sale. Depending on the severity, it may require more negotioan between the parties.

Step Five - Close the deal

Lastly, you must sign the final papers for the sale. You will be required to meet the terms of the sales contract and that includes the title/deed transfer of the listing into escrow. Once escrow closes any profits from the sale are deposited quickly into your accounts. Typical escrow time is 15-30 days but the average time is roughly 45 days for the entire process.
