Twin Falls Home Selling Process
Selling a property for any reason can be nerve wracking. Showings, preparation, price, contract review, escrow. An overview of the Home Selling Process is the place to start.
- Make the decision:
The first step is always the most difficult, but when Selling your home, it is the most important. Decide what you want from the sale, if it is the right time to sell, or if you would want to buy your home if you were a buyer.
- Hire a Realtor:
By hiring a Realtor, you are insuring that your agent is licensed, educated in Real Estate matters, and has the market knowledge and experience to see you through the sale. The Realtor you choose should come with good recommendations, a marketing plan suited for your property, and enthusiasm.
- Set the Price:
Market comparables, location, condition, and time are all factors when setting the price. Frank discussions with your Realtor to set a price that meets your expectations and market conditions are key.
- Marketing:
MLS, Internet, Open houses, and yard signs can all be components of the plan to sell your home. Your Westerra Realtor will discuss with you the best marketing avenues for your property as well as a strategy to prepare your home for showing.
- Sale:
A buyer has made an offer on your property! Now What? Your Westerra Realtor will guide you through the negotiation process, assisting you in your decisions regarding inspections, price, terms, and closing time.
- Planning your Move:
When the inspections are done and contingencies are removed, it is time to start packing. This is a good time to clean away things you don’t want to take with you or donate items to a good cause. Call a moving company, make a checklist, and pack your boxes.
- Close:
Also known as Settlement, Escrow, or Closing – is when the Closing agent (usually at a Title Company) takes money from the Buyers, pays it to you, the Seller, and transfers title into the Buyers name.
