SELLERS

If you want or need to sell real estate we would love to discuss your options. We provide a free market analysis to help you determine the current value of your property. But, that is just the beginning. Your property has a combination of characteristics and features that no other property has. So, at Vicki Lee Green Realtors your free, custom evaluation is based upon facts, but created uniquely. To get started, select one of our agents or simply contact our agency.

For a successful sale, it is critical to advertise your property to the right market. How quickly you need or want to sell, your sale price, and the type of property define your target market.

During the thirty-nine plus years that we have been in business we have seen just about every real estate market condition and want to serve as your trusted advisor in marketing and selling your property. Our agents work tirelessly to stay current with market and business trends, and to maintain constant communication with you during the listing and sale process. We use a variety of communication methods, depending on your preferences. Email and websites are great tools for communicating information quickly.

THE SELLING PROCESS

A GUIDE TO MARKETING & SELLING YOUR HOME

Our goal is to help you establish the market value of your property, determine the right strategy for listing and advertising, and then assist you throughout the sale process. We will explain the real estate selling process because we believe that understanding the process is key to our successful partnership and your real estate sale. Review the Selling Process below for helpful hints on what steps to take and direction on what to do next.

1. INITIAL INTERVIEW WITH REALTOR

Selling your home is a very personal experience. Making sure you choose the right agent to guide you through the process is one of the most important aspects of the selling process.

2. MARKET ANALYSIS

The value of your home or investment property has a variety of points to consider when determining a fair selling price. At Vicki Lee Green Realtors, our expert agents will perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which compares your property value to similar properties in the area that have sold or are currently on the market.

With a Market Analysis in hand and a correct listing price determined, a Settlement Statement is created disclosing fees and charges that both buyer and seller will face during the housing transaction.

3. DOCUMENTS & PAPEWORK

Once a price has been determined and all fees have been disclosed, it’s time for gathering all the necessary documents required to sell your property. Your real estate agent will help keep you on track of when documents are needed. We’ve listed the types of documents that may be requested below.

4. STAGING/MARKETING

The real estate market today is extremely competitive and when selling your home and hoping for a quick sale, utilizing marketing strategies and setting the stage can play a huge role in whether your house sells or sits.

Start the process of staging by cleaning and de-cluttering your space, organize your closets, add a fresh coat of paint to the walls and spruce up your kitchen or bathroom with fresh linens and plants.

The cleaning process will pave the way for beautiful spaces that are photo ready. Professional photos are a must in today’s market so don’t be too quick to add your ‘really good’ phone pics to your listing.

Finally, your real estate agent will schedule a Realtor Tour with fellow real estate agents interested in looking at the home. It is important they know your house is coming to the market because many agents have buyers waiting for homes like yours to come available.

5. OFFERS/NEGOTIATIONS

Your property has been put up on the MLS, there have been showings and many parties have shown interest, now the offers are coming in. Your real estate agent will help you determine which offer/s are fair and should be considered while also guiding you through the negotiation process for a quick and fair sale price.

5. UNDER CONTRACT

Once your property is under contract, there are several steps that come before closing day.

Earnest Money – or Good Faith Deposit – money put down by buyer to show their seriousness about the purchase
Title Search – a search examining property records that could jeopardize owning the home
Inspections – an opportunity to get detailed reports about a home’s major components and their condition
Appraisal – an estimated value of the home in comparison to other homes in the area

6. LOAN APPROVAL

All necessary documents have been filed, yours and the buyers information has been reviewed and now it is time to get final loan approval. Your real estate agent and the buyers agent have worked hard to get to this point. All information is submitted for approval.

7. CLOSING

The loan has been approved, and the buyer has done a final walk through of the home verifying items that came up during the inspection. Seller and buyer agents schedule a closing day that works best for all parties involved and meet to sign papers and get the keys to the new home or business owner!
