Seller’s Guide
Your road map to a safe & successful sale
We know selling your home is a journey, and the more informed you are about what to do and expect along the way, the more successful your home sale will be. Ideally you want that journey to end with your home selling quickly and for the best possible price. This resource guide will get you there.
Choosing The Best Agent For You
Most sellers use a real estate sales professional and for good reason. A skilled agent can ensure your home sells quickly and for top dollar, all while making the entire process seamless and as stress-free as possible.
2. Pricing Smart
First, it is important to understand that only the market can determine the ultimate value of your home. That said, choosing the optimal list price is essential to ensuring you get top dollar!. Depending on market conditions, too low, you risk not getting as much as you possibly can. Too high, you risk losing buyers, not to mention the fact that overpricing simply helps competitive homes sell faster.
3. Preparing Your Home To Wow
Once you've set the price, your next step in the journey is preparing your home to wow buyers from the moment they drive up. This is more important than you might think. REALTORS® repeatedly find that people cannot visualize the potential of a home. They have to see it. That means that how your home shows now is how people see themselves in it.

When an offer comes in — perhaps multiple offers - this is where negotiating expertise counts to ensure you achieve the highest price and best terms. Depending of course on market conditions, chances are, an offer will be higher or lower than your asking price. Don’t be concerned or offended, it’s normal. In fact, the best way to think about an offer is as a starting point to a conversation.
