Selling your home is a complex, multistep process that calls for the expertise of a Real Estate Agent. Enlisting the help of a trusted and knowledgeable REALTOR® is essential for an optimal experience when selling your home. The Roberts Realty Team has prepared a Seller’s Guide to break down the process, outlining the steps to expect when selling your home.
Get Your Finances in Order
Don’t worry if you’re still paying off your mortgage, there are several options depending on what type of mortgage you have. However, you’ll need to talk to your lender before you can proceed.
Choose A Real Estate Agent
It is important to choose a REALTOR® who provides clear communication and understands your vision and goals for the sale of your home. A REALTOR® can help you price your home to sell, answer questions like “When is a good time to sell?”, and can bring clarity to the complicated process of selling a home. The Roberts Realty Team are experienced and caring licensed realtors who are dedicated to providing clear communication, maximum exposure and a peace of mind experience for their clients.

Listing Your Home, The Price is Right
A house that’s priced at market value attracts the maximum amount of the market’s potential buyers. Raise that asking price by just a bit above market value, and the percentage of potential buyers will decrease substantially.
The Roberts Realty team provides a competitive market analysis and will help you find the pricing sweet spot for your home. To get an idea of what properties have sold for in your area, sign up for local market stats and listing updates from The Roberts Realty Team.
Marketing And Promotion
The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives your REALTOR® permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service). When working with the Roberts Realty Team, in this phase of your home sale the Team develops a customized marketing plan to market your home.
Closing
Once you’ve accepted an offer, your buyer will want to conduct a home inspection and (potentially) negotiate the cost of any repairs. Finally, your lawyer and Real Estate Agent will walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close.
Congratulations! With the sale of your home complete, you can now begin looking for a new place.
