Six steps. One guided process.
Select a step to see what happens, what you need to do and how your Realtor should help. You remain in control of every major decision.
Make a Selling Plan
You determine why you are selling, when you want to move and what the sale needs to accomplish.
What you do
- Identify your preferred timing and next move.
- Consider your mortgage balance, expected costs and likely sale proceeds.
- Choose a Realtor and understand the listing agreement and compensation.
How your Realtor helps
- Explains the selling process, responsibilities and expected costs.
- Evaluates your timeline, property and current market conditions.
- Creates a strategy based on your goals—not simply getting the home listed.
Every sale is different. Preparation, moving plans, financing, inspections, appraisal and settlement details may overlap. A strong Realtor helps you understand what is normal, what requires attention and what needs a decision.
Choosing professional guidance
Your Realtor Should Do More Than Put a Sign in the Yard.
Selling a home involves pricing, preparation, marketing, negotiations, deadlines and coordination among several professionals. A strong listing agent brings experience and structure to the process while helping you make informed decisions.
They should analyze the market, help prioritize preparation, recommend a pricing position, coordinate marketing and showings, explain offers, negotiate, manage deadlines, address inspection and appraisal issues, and offer service providers for you to consider.
The decisions remain yours. You control the pricing, preparation, offer acceptance and other major choices.
