    Prepare your home for sale by decluttering and depersonalizing it to create a clean and inviting environment. Clean the house and stage key areas to showcase its potential. Improve curb appeal by maintaining landscaping and repairing the exterior. Consider minor updates, such as fresh paint or replacing outdated fixtures, instead of major renovations. Real estate agents can offer insights into impactful changes based on market and buyer preferences.

  • What can I expect after I've signed a contract?

    After entering into a contract as a seller, several crucial steps must be taken. The property is withdrawn from the market, and you agree to fulfill the contract terms. The buyer may conduct inspections and negotiate repairs or credits based on the findings. Additional documents or disclosures may be required. Both parties will coordinate the closing process, including finalizing details with the title company or attorney, preparing the necessary paperwork, and arranging for transfer. The closing date will determine the official change of ownership.

  • Is it necessary for me to make repairs after my house is under contract?

    Repairs after a house is under contract depend on the contract terms and negotiations with the buyer. Buyers may request repairs or credits based on inspection findings, and it's your decision whether to agree to those requests. Review the contract and consult with your agent to understand your repair obligations and options.

  • Can I live in the house after the closing is done?

    Post-closing occupancy is subject to the contract terms and buyer's agreement. Sellers may negotiate a leaseback agreement to stay on the property after closing. It's important to communicate your intentions to the buyer and include relevant provisions in the contract for clarity and agreement regarding post-closing occupancy.

  • What seller expenses am I responsible for?

    Sellers are responsible for various expenses associated with selling their property. These include real estate agent commissions (a percentage of the sale price) and any outstanding mortgage balance. Additional expenses may include prorated property taxes, HOA fees, and agreed-upon closing costs or concessions for the buyer. Review your contract and collaborate with your real estate agent to comprehend and plan for these expenses.

  • What exactly takes place on the closing day?

    Several important events occur for real estate sellers on closing day. You will meet with the buyer, their agent, and a representative from the title company or attorney's office to finalize the sale. In this meeting, you will review and sign the deed transferring ownership to the buyer, the settlement statement, and any other necessary legal paperwork. Payment for the sale proceeds is usually in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer. After completing the necessary paperwork and distributing funds, the buyer will take possession of the property upon receiving the keys from you.
