Pricing your home correctly from the start is key to generating interest and securing the best return.

Market Analysis: Your agent will provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help set a competitive price based on current trends and comparable sales.
Attract Serious Buyers: The right price ensures your home doesn’t linger on the market and appeals to the right audience.
Maximize Your Return: Strategic pricing can spark multiple offers and lead to a strong final sale price.

Online Exposure: Your agent will list your home on top real estate platforms, social media, and their network.
Open Houses & Showings: Coordinated events and private showings help generate excitement and offers.
Highlight Features: Effective descriptions and visuals showcase what makes your home unique.

 
5. Negotiate & Close the Deal

Once the offers come in, your agent will help you seal the deal smoothly.

Review Offers: Your agent will walk you through the pros and cons of each offer and recommend the best course of action.
Inspection & Appraisal: Your agent will help manage negotiations following inspections and guide you through appraisal requirements.
