Here is a clear breakdown of what happens when you sell your home.

Your agent will help you review comparable sales and market data so you can choose a price that attracts buyers without leaving money on the table.

Photos, videos, staging, and polished descriptions help your home stand out. Great marketing creates interest and brings in qualified buyers.

Once everything is ready, your home is added to the MLS and syndicated across major platforms. This is when the real exposure begins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open houses, private showings, and online inquiries bring potential buyers to your door. Your agent manages the flow and keeps you updated.

You will receive feedback from showings along with updates on views, saves, and market activity. These insights help you understand buyer interest and make adjustments if needed.

When offers come in, your agent will walk you through the details, including price, contingencies, and timelines.

Negotiations cover more than just price. You may discuss repairs, credits, timelines, and terms. A good agent makes sure your best interests stay protected.

Once everything is agreed upon, the final steps include inspections, paperwork, and escrow. After funds are transferred, the sale is complete and the keys are handed over.
