Home Selling Guide

When you decide to sell your home using the services of a Real Estate Brokerage, you sign a Listing Contract with your Real Estate Agent.  This contract details the terms between you and the Brokerage, and this guides the process.

Selling a house can be a time-consuming and difficult job.  You want to sell your home as quickly as possible and at as close to full price as possible.  You want to be aware of the many pieces of documentation you’ll be completing and signing, such as Listing Contract, Real Estate Condition Report, Lead Paint Addendum, etc.  These are just a few of the reasons many people choose to hire the services of a professional Realtor.

 When an Offer to Purchase is written on your property and accepted by you, the Agent continues to facilitate the process and at Closing, a commission is paid to the Brokerage for its services.

There are multiple steps that must be taken between the signing of the Listing Contract and the Closing.  These include marketing your property for sale, scheduling showings, presenting offers to you, tracking Offer to Purchase deadlines and contingencies, arranging for title work, etc.

Most of this work is done without you, the Home Seller, ever being aware of it.  That is one of the most valuable assets of working with a Realtor – the stress that can accompany moving from one home to another is minimized and handled by your Agent.
