Seller process
The Home Selling Process
Selling a home has many moving parts. Here is the typical path and where we help at each stage. Timing and requirements vary by property and contract.
Stage by stage
What happens, and when
Consultation and valuation
We learn your goals and review the property and comparable sales. You can request a valuation.
Listing agreement
We explain the terms of the agreement, including the listing period and how compensation works, and put them in writing.
Preparation and photography
Repairs, cleaning and photos. See preparing your home.
Launch and showings
The home goes on the market. We manage showings and share feedback. See how we market.
Offers and negotiation
We compare offers, discuss strategy with you and negotiate the terms.
Contract and attorney review
In New York, buyers and sellers commonly use real estate attorneys to review contracts and handle closings. Your attorney advises you on legal matters, including required disclosures.
Inspection, appraisal and loan approval
The buyer's inspection and the lender's appraisal can lead to repair requests or price discussions. We help you evaluate and respond.
Closing
Final walkthrough, signing and transfer of keys. We stay involved until the sale is complete.
