Our Process
Prepare and Stage Your Home
Home staging plays a crucial role in maximizing a property’s appeal by highlighting its best features, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and adding a touch of luxury that buyers desire.
Staged homes not only photograph better and stand out online and in person, but they also tend to sell faster and at higher prices, ultimately putting more money in the seller’s pocket.
Our experienced Interior Designer and Home Stager (https://designedtoshowoff.com/) has been enhancing our listings for over a decade, offering services that range from staging consultations to full staging and paint color consultations. Proper home preparation, including staging and maintenance, is essential for achieving the best possible sale price and reducing time on the market.
Marketing Plan
Marketing your home effectively involves showcasing its best features and maximizing its appeal to potential buyers. We focus on creating a compelling listing and using a variety of marketing tools, including online, social media, and targeted outreach, to reach the right audience. This increases the likelihood of a quick sale at a higher price.
Our process includes professional photography, targeted social media campaigns, SEO-focused blogging, listing on relevant MLS platforms, open houses, direct mail, and personal outreach to agents and brokers. We also utilize ongoing email marketing to keep your property top of mind with potential buyers and real estate professionals.
Listing Your Property
When listing your property, we focus on every detail with intention and purpose. We don’t just post on the MLS and hope for the best; we are thorough and precise in our approach. This includes carefully preparing your MLS listing by selecting the right photo order, crafting compelling property descriptions, and creating virtual tours. We also gather all necessary disclosures, documents, and additional information to effectively tell your property’s story and appeal to potential buyers on the platforms they use.
Set a Price and Sign Listing Agreement
Setting the right price is crucial when selling your home, as pricing too high or too low can result in lost money. We’ll work with you to find the perfect price that maximizes your investment. Once the price is set, we’ll use the Texas REALTOR® Agreement to detail the terms of your listing.
We’ll also review key aspects like commission plans, seller disclosures, the Survey & T-47 Affidavit, and any previous inspection reports to ensure everything is in order for a successful sale.
Showings, Open Houses & Feedback
During the first few weeks of listing, it’s important to stay flexible with your schedule for showings, and ensure pets and children are not present to create a distraction-free environment. Follow the Home Showing Checklist to prepare your home. Open houses may not be suitable for every property, so discuss with your REALTOR® to determine if it’s right for you. We collect feedback from showing agents and provide sellers with a Monday Listing update, including activity reports and plans for the week.
Using the “Rule of 10,” we reassess the listing if there are 10 showings without offers or 10 days without any showings. For open houses, we focus on generating interest through online promotion, door-to-door invitations, effective signage, and follow-up to ensure success.
Review Offers & Execute A Contract
When reviewing offers, we use an online system to ensure no offer is missed. Each offer is carefully evaluated, considering factors such as the buyer’s financing, contingencies, special requests, and whether the buyer is an investor or owner-occupant. We guide you through negotiations, helping you secure the best deal with strategies tailored to your situation. Once an offer is accepted, the buyer typically schedules a home inspection. We’ll ensure you’re prepared and know what to expect.
Once “under contract,” the agreement becomes legally binding. During this period, the buyer completes inspections, finalizes financing, and fulfills other contractual obligations. We help keep the contract secure by navigating the buyer’s potential exit points. Throughout the process, we monitor important dates, manage the title search, handle inspections, and ensure compliance with all contract terms. We oversee every step, from appraisal to the buyer’s final walkthrough, to ensure a smooth closing and successful sale.
Finalize Details and Close the Sale
In the final stages, the seller and buyer work together to complete any remaining paperwork, ensure all contingencies are met, and address any repairs or adjustments. Open communication is key to resolving any outstanding issues. As closing approaches, you’ll collaborate with your REALTOR® and the buyer’s agent to finalize the necessary documents. The Title Company will schedule the closing, which can be done in-person or via a mobile notary if needed. The buyer will perform a final walk-through just before closing. Once all parties have signed, funding typically occurs within a few hours, and you can expect your sales proceeds by the next day.
