Find a Real Estate Agent or Broker

Choosing the right agent makes the whole selling process smoother and far less stressful. A good agent knows the market, understands what buyers are looking for, and helps you avoid common pitfalls. They’ll guide you from listing to closing, answer your questions along the way, and make sure you never feel lost in the process.

Market Your Home

Marketing your home is all about getting it in front of the right people. This usually includes professional photos, online listings, social media promotion, and sometimes open houses or virtual tours. The better the exposure, the more interest—and competition—you’ll generate.

Setting the right price from the start can help you attract serious buyers quickly. Your agent will look at recent sales, market trends, and your home’s features to recommend a smart listing price. The goal is to position your home so it stands out while still being realistic for the market.

Receive & Negotiate Offers

Once offers start coming in, your agent will help you compare them and understand the terms. Negotiation is a normal part of the process and ensures you get the best deal possible. Together, you’ll work through details like price, closing dates, and contingencies before accepting the offer that feels right.

​Prepare and Stage

A little preparation goes a long way in making your home look its best. Cleaning, decluttering, and completing minor repairs can boost your home’s appeal instantly. Staging helps buyers imagine themselves living there, which often leads to stronger, more confident offers.

Close the Sale

Closing is the final stretch, where all paperwork and logistics come together. You’ll work with your agent, lender, and title company to make sure everything is accurate and ready to go. Once the documents are signed and funds are transferred, congratulations—you’ve officially sold your home!
