Do you have equity in your home? Are your improvement projects complete? How fast do you need to sell? Does the purchase of your new home need to coincide with the sale of this one? Everybody's needs are different. Selling a home can be complicated — you're not only selling a property, you're likely finding a new place to live. Here's how we make sure you're prepared.
We begin by exploring your short- and long-term goals and how selling your home fits in. Your agent walks you through our process while developing a thorough understanding of your goals, wants, and needs so your expectations are met.
We assess the current state of the market and what comparable homes are selling for through a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on your home. That lets us objectively determine fair market value and price it accurately.
Most of us don't keep our homes in top selling condition. We help you see things from a buyer's point of view and consult on what to repair, replace, or remove so your home makes a great first impression. See our home selling checklist below.
Your home is marketed with a specific, research-based plan that has the highest potential for bringing the most qualified buyers to your doorstep.
Keep your home in top selling condition — you never get a second chance at a first impression. People buy with their emotions; your home has to feel right. Listen to your agent's suggestions on cleaning, de-cluttering, removing personal items and cosmetic repairs.
When a buyer decides to purchase, an offer is presented — you may receive several. Your agent determines whether each buyer is qualified and helps you carefully consider all your options.
Most offers require some negotiation. Logic Realty works for you; your agent negotiates at your direction, based on your requirements.
Once you accept an offer, we coordinate with the buyer's agent on the inspection, appraisal, and survey if required. If the buyer requests repairs, your agent continues to negotiate and can recommend qualified vendors so we move successfully from contract to closing.
Closing is typically held at the title company and takes less than an hour. Bring an official ID and anything else required; your agent is present to advise you and make sure everything goes to plan. Bring your keys, and your home is sold.
In a world of online listings, it's very important to show buyers how your home will fit their needs and how rooms will function for them. Use this checklist to present your home in the best light possible.
Make sure your home is attractive on approach and from the street. The first impression is a lasting one.
What you consider minor, a buyer sees as an added cost. Most buyers want move-in ready.
You want buyers focused on how wonderful the space is, not how messy it looks.
Buyers factor every space into their decision, and a dirty bathroom can be the reason one walks away.
Light colors and lightweight fabrics preserve natural light. Pick colors that reflect it, not absorb it.
Nothing turns a buyer off faster than a dirty home.
Selling your home is a big financial and emotional task that takes planning. Before you put your home on the market, consider these four questions — then let's talk.
Request a Market AnalysisCondition, square footage, location, amenities, and recent comparable sales all go into market value. Online estimators give a rough snapshot; your tax-assessed value is another reference point. A CMA from a broker is the accurate answer.
Simple, low-cost things add value: eliminating clutter, washing windows and walls, brighter bulbs. Larger projects like kitchens and baths typically yield more. Staging helps buyers picture how they'd use the space.
It depends on location, how competitively it's priced, and how aggressively it's marketed. A properly priced home should draw an offer within the first dozen showings, and well-staged homes sell measurably faster.
With all of it — pricing, marketing, and the intricacies of closing. Your agent negotiates on your behalf to secure the best price and quickest sale possible.
Buying, selling, or leasing — start with a conversation. No pressure, no surprises.
