We know selling a home can be daunting. This is why it is so important to us that you feel supported through the process every step of the way.
To help you feel more comfortable, we have created a checklist for you to keep in mind when you’re about to put your home up for sale.
Make sure you:
Research Before You Hire
To ensure the process of selling your home goes smoothly and you get the best price, you will need to hire outside help. Set aside some time to research and interview different real estate agents, real estate lawyers, movers, stagers, cleaners, mortgage brokers, home inspectors and anyone else you think you may need!
Know your home’s worth
To determine how much your home is worth, you will need to work with your real estate agent to conduct a comparative marketing analysis. You and your agent will need to work together to look at homes that are currently for sale and homes that have sold in your region to determine how to price your home appropriately.

Make Improvements (If Necessary)
To help your home sell faster, you should look at any updates or fixes your home may need before you put your home on the market. This could range anywhere from a fresh coat of paint to a full kitchen remodel. Do a walkthrough of your home and try to put yourself in the shoes of someone buying your home to help you determine what upgrades you may need!
Declutter and Organize
Potential homebuyers like to envision themselves and their belongings in their new home before they buy. If your home has personal photographs and other sentimental items, it can be difficult for the home buyer to get into this mindset. Before you set up your first open house, we suggest packing up any personal items that may distract the potential home buyer from fully appreciating the space.
