Step-By-Step Process to Selling Your Home

1. Your Realtor will meet with you and explain the process and paperwork. Your agent will give you a market analysis and an an estimate of closing costs. Your agent will also give you tips on how to make your home show at its best.
   
   
2. You’ll sign several forms, to include a listing agreement with your agent, a seller’s disclosure to inform potential buyers what amenities your home has, and a list of showing instructions to tell your agent how/when you would like your home shown. 
   
   
3. Your agent will take high-quality photos, including drone photos/video or 3D photos (depending on the property). These will be converted to virtual tours. 
   
   
4. Your agent will list your property in the Multiple Listing Service. You will be asked to approve your listing and photos, and changes will be made if requested.
   
   
5. Your home’s listing will be syndicated to popular websites such as Trulia, Zillow, Homes.com, and Realtor.com.
   
   
6. A sign will be placed in your yard with a sign rider that includes a text link to your home’s virtual tour. 
   
   
7. Realtors with access to the Multiple Listing Service will call the 24-hour showing service to request showings for your home. You can approve these showings by text message, email, or phone call. 
   
   
8. When a buyer makes an offer, your agent will review it with you. You may accept, reject or counteroffer. Your agent will negotiate with the buyer’s agent, making changes in the paperwork as necessary.
   
   
9. The buyer will have the home inspected during the first week of the contract. You may be asked to make repairs based on this inspection.
   
   
10. An appraisal will be ordered by the buyer’s lender to confirm home’s value meets the contract sales price.
    
    
11. A survey will be ordered; this is a map of your lot, showing your lot boundaries, and the position of your house on the lot. (You may be able to use a prior survey if no changes have been made.)
    
    
12. The buyer’s mortgage company will finalize their loan documents and send them to the title company.
    
    
13. The title company will print up all the paperwork required for closing, including a closing statement showing all the fees and closing costs. Your agent will review this paperwork with you.
    
    
14. You will meet your Realtor at the title company to sign the closing documents. If you’re receiving money from the transaction, the title company can wire it to your account or write a check. This is generally done the day after closing.
