Step 1 : The listing process
Preparing to go live with your listing
We’ll meet at your property to walk through it and you can point out any special features, additions or anything else that is important. I’ll give some recommendations on what can be done to help present your home in the best way.
After that meeting, I’ll prepare a valuation of the property for you
If you are happy to proceed, then you’ll sign the listing agreement
If it’s needed, will arrange for a stager to come prepare the house
Schedule the photographer plus videos/drone to come to your house
If we are doing a pre-listing inspection, will get that scheduled.
Order & install your custom For Sale sign
You prepare the house for photos and showings
Put a lockbox on your house (I’ll need a key from you for this)
You will fill out the the Seller Notes questionnaire. This could be a video too if we decide that’s better
You’ll also answer the Buyer FAQs questions and email me the files noted in the FAQ
You’ll fill out the property disclosure documents and lead based paint if applicable
Develop your personalized website with its own domain
We’ll review sample copies of the contracts that buyers use in their offers and we can review them. This give you time to review in a no stress environment, so that once the real offers come in, you’re already familiar with the contract.
Prepare the listing on the MLS system, ready to be sent out to 200+ real estate sites
Prepare marketing material including the Seller Notes & Buyer FAQs to send to agents who request a showing, so they are well prepared to show your house before they get there
Send out pre-listing teaser emails about your house to area agents
Call agents who focus in your area & offer a preview to their clients
Develop social media ad campaigns for release on Go Live Day
Send out email marketing campaign to local agents
Your house is ready to go live on the MLS and the showings begin
