Evaluating Your Home

The initial step in selling your home is to evaluate its current condition. Together, we will address any cosmetic or functional issues and consider discussing potential upgrades that could enhance the property’s value. Some issues may require disclosure to prospective buyers. We will review the findings and advise you through available options to ensure your home is in optimal condition to attract buyers.

Strategic Pricing

Setting the right price for your home is crucial and involves analyzing several factors such as location, condition, age, market demand, and current market conditions. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of similar homes recently sold in your area is essential. Understanding market trends will help you determine a competitive price that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

Pre-Market Preparation

Preparing your home for sale is key to attracting potential buyers. Focus on essential areas such as maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and staging. This might involve decluttering, fixing minor issues, updating paint colors, and improving curb appeal. Professional staging can significantly enhance your home’s attractiveness. The aim is to create an inviting and appealing environment that draws the best offers.

Professional Listing

Once your home is prepped and ready, we’ll arrange for professional photography and create a compelling listing for the local MLS. Your listing will be shared with area brokerages and agents, and additional advertising strategies may be implemented to reach a broader audience. A customized marketing plan will help draw attention from potential buyers.

EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS: By listing with WP Real Estate Group, you gain access to an exclusive network of properties through COMPASS PRIVATE EXCLUSIVES.

Sell Your Home, Maintain Your Privacy

Listing your home as a private exclusive lets you control what information is shared while still reaching top agents at Compass. By listing it early as a Coming Soon property on compass.com, you give buyers and their agents in advance notice that your home is about to hit the market. This approach drives interest with exclusive marketing and provides valuable insights before the official launch.

Early to list. Early to sell. Only with Compass Coming Soon.

Effective Showing Strategies

After listing, we will start scheduling home showings. An open house might also be a beneficial strategy. Typically, homeowners are not present during showings to allow buyers to feel comfortable. You will be informed about showings in advance to minimize inconvenience. This approach ensures that your home is presented in the best possible light to prospective buyers.

07—

Negotiating Offers

When offers come in, you will have the option to accept, counter, or reject them. If you choose to counter, we enter a negotiation phase until a mutual agreement is reached or the latest counteroffer is declined. These negotiations can involve sale price, concessions, and financing terms. Once an agreement is secured, your home will move under contract.

08—

Inspection and Appraisal

After an agreement is made, the buyer will likely request an inspection and appraisal to confirm the condition and value of the home. Based on these reports, further negotiations may be necessary. You might decide to address specific repair requests to facilitate a smoother closing process.

09—

Closing Process

On closing day, the buyer's lender will finalize approval, and you will sign the necessary documents to complete the sale. This process usually takes a couple of hours. Once everything is signed, the title company will transfer the net proceeds to your account, officially completing the sale of your home.
