Once you've decided it's time to list your home. The key is ensuring it's MARKET READY! Decluttering, packing away personal items, storing valuables and helping showcase your home in the best possible way for potential buyers.
Many times to best showcase your home, we may need to stage - with additional furniture, less furniture, accent pieces, flowers and more. Our certified staging experts along with professional external teams can help in every way. Professional staging may come at a cost - let's discuss during a walkthrough of your home.
There are several states required documents including the listing contract, click above on our SELLERS GUIDE to see an example of all the forms along with helpful tips as you begin the journey towards listing your home in Central Ohio.
Using professional photographers & videographers, we aim to capture, showcase and market your home. Video helps sell homes in Columbus. Positioning your home using detailed photos that truly capture the essence of a home - helps deliver more showings and competitive offers.
Pricing your home in a growing competitive market like Central Ohio is key. Our team members are certified in pricing homes and utilize a multifaceted approach to help you make the best decisions to get your home sold. Homes not priced correct may sit on the market. When a home is priced right, we see an increased number of showings leading to stronger offers for you. Remember, what your neighbor's house sold for or what real estate websites claim your home is worth, isn't always true.
When your home is LIVE on the MLS (Multi-List Service), it's featured on 780 websites, reaching thousands of potential buyers. Soon after, you could begin to receive showing requests - a time the buyer is requesting to tour your home. Ensuring your home is ready and clutter free is essential. Buyers want to visualize themselves in your home, but in their eyes - which is why eliminating personal items and allowing them mental clarity to visualize is important.
Soon after, we should receive an offer on your home. Our team will review this offer with you and discuss all parts of it and how it benefits you. Accepting an offer or structuring a counteroffer may be needed. Our team works to know your goals in these transactions and works to help meet those by securing the necessary offers from buyers to make it happen. Sometimes, patience is needed when the market changes.
Once you're in contract, the countdown to closing begins. Our team including a transaction coordinator will keep you posted on every step as the buyer completes an inspection, remedy repair request, appraisal and more. Each step may require counseling from a team member, and we are here every step of the way. Sometimes, transactions are flawless, but sometimes we hit some bumps - everyone's goal is to close and get you sold. Count on our experience and expertise to help you make it happen.
Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.
