The Home Selling Process

You’re ready to move on from your current home. There are several steps of the selling process you will go through. Here is a helpful guide explaining those stages:

Pricing and preparing your home
Determining the right price is a critical step to ensure you receive the highest return in the least amount time. A clean, neat home in need of few or no repairs will sell faster, and at a higher price. Your Skye Bruce Properties’ REALTOR^® can recommend the most important ways to prepare your home and can help with staging your home to optimize first impressions.

Marketing your home
Creating a plan to market your home can help to attract the interest of the right buyer. Today, more homebuyers use the internet in their home search and your marketing plan may include focused online activities in addition to print advertising and open houses. Your Skye Bruce Properties REALTOR^® will market your home locally, nationally and globally through a variety of marketing channels to expose your home to the most potential buyers.

Purchase Agreement
Your Skye Bruce Properties REALTOR^® will work with you to evaluate offers on your home and help you negotiate the sale. The Purchase Agreement is the legal contract in which you and the buyer outline the details and terms of the property transfer.

Inspection
Part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the inspection gives the buyer an in-depth analysis on the condition of the home and if any repairs may be needed. The buyer may ask for problem area to be repaired of for a credit to have the problems corrected after closing.

Negotiation
Negotiation between your Skye Bruce Properties REALTOR^® and the buyer's agent may occur several times throughout the process to give you the most favorable terms of your sale.

Closing
At closing, all the paperwork is signed by the buyer and seller and the documents are officially recorded. Once completed you will receive the funds/proceeds from the sale of your property.
