Selling your home is a significant decision, and at Uncommon Realty, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our expertise, strategic approach, and commitment to your success ensure that you get the best results in the shortest amount of time. Here’s how we do it:
1. Determine Your Home’s Market Value
Understanding your home’s worth is the foundation of a successful sale. We analyze the current real estate market, assess comparable properties, and provide you with a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This helps you see how your home compares to recently sold properties and gives you insights into market trends. Our goal is to equip you with accurate, data-driven information so you can price your home competitively.
2. Prepare Your Home for Sale
First impressions matter. Preparing your home means making necessary repairs, decluttering, and deep cleaning. We’ll also guide you through staging strategies to highlight your home’s best features, ensuring it appeals to the widest range of buyers. A well-prepared home attracts higher offers and sells faster.
3. Work with Uncommon Realty for Results
Our team brings extensive experience, market knowledge, and innovative marketing strategies to get your home sold. We don’t just list homes—we craft customized selling plans that leverage targeted marketing, data analysis, and expert negotiation to secure the best deal possible.
4. Price Your Home Correctly
Pricing your home correctly is crucial. We work with you to determine a price that reflects market conditions while maximizing your return. While you have the final say, we strongly recommend pricing in alignment with the market to attract serious buyers and competitive offers. Remember, market value is what a willing buyer will pay and a seller will accept—emotion-free pricing leads to successful sales.
5. List Your Home Strategically
We don’t just list your home; we launch it. Whether on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), exclusive off-market platforms, or targeted social media campaigns, we position your home where serious buyers will see it. We carefully select the best timing to go live—because when you list is just as important as how you list.
6. Show Your Home to Buyers
Showings are a critical part of selling. We coordinate open houses and private tours, ensuring your home is always presented in its best light. Buyers need to feel comfortable envisioning themselves in your space, which means a clean, clutter-free, and inviting atmosphere is essential. Pro tip: Avoid strong odors from cooking or pets during the showing period—buyers want a home that looks and smells great!
7. Review and Negotiate Offers
Every offer will be presented to you, and we’ll walk you through the pros and cons. Negotiation is key, and we handle it with precision to secure the best possible terms for you. Offers often involve counteroffers, and we keep the process moving until you say, “Yes, this is the one.”
8. Accept an Offer and Navigate Inspections
Once you accept an offer, the buyer will typically schedule a home inspection. This is when any necessary negotiations on repairs take place. We help you evaluate the requests and determine the best course of action to keep the deal on track.
9. Move Into the Under-Contract Phase
At this stage, we continue monitoring every detail, ensuring financing is finalized, the appraisal aligns with the agreed-upon price, and all contingencies are met. If backup offers are of interest, we can keep that option open as well. Our job is to make sure there are no surprises leading up to closing day.
10. Close the Sale
On closing day, the transaction is finalized. We work closely with the title company, lender, and buyer’s agent to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. The good news? You’ll sign far fewer documents selling your home than you did when you bought it—especially if financing was involved.
11. Move Out and Transfer Ownership
Whether you move out before closing or negotiate a Seller’s Temporary Lease for extra time, we’ll help coordinate all details. Before handing over the keys, make sure to leave garage door openers, smart home access, and any important documents for the new owner.
