Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of an experienced agent and this easy to follow guide, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.
A critical first step is taking the time to understand my client's plans and goals, review trends in the current marketplace, assess your property's qualities, and onboard you onto the Compass One platform. I will analyze comparable property sales, assess the competition, and present a pricing strategy designed to achieve the best possible result.
From hiring painters to configuring furniture, I'll ensure that the property is visually ready for showing; this includes scheduling a professional photo shoot, commissioning an illustrative floor plan, and preparing a listing description. At this time, we will also sit down and complete the Seller Disclosure documents that will be necessary for the transaction.
As a Compass client, you have the option to avoid accumulating public days on market while building buyer demand and validating your listing price. Launching as a Compass Private Exclusive ensures your home is only visible to our agents and their buyers. This provides us with invaluable time to track buyer engagement with your listing and refine our pricing and positioning strategy for the best possible sale outcome.
Using insights gleaned from the Private Exclusives phase, we will launch your property again as a Compass Coming Soon on our site, incrementally increasing buyer exposure while still avoiding the negative impact of public days on market and price drops. In the final launch phase, we'll broadcast your listing on all other sites, ensuring maximum visibility for the duration of the sale process.

My Compass marketing team will produce beautiful print collateral to strategically showcase your property. all of which will be shared with you for approval on your Compass One dashboard. I will build out an intelligent, effective paid marketing plan in relevant publications and produce eye-catching property signs for placement outside your property.
I continuously leverage my exclusive Luxury Network, collaborating with buyer brokers, hosting private tours for targeted prospective agents and buyers on an ongoing basis.
I'Il conduct an assessment of the market response within the first 30 days of your listing going live. Feedback from agents and buyers will be aggregated, and the listing strategy can be revised if needed.
You’ve reached the last step in the seller’s process. When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. I will meet with the company closing the transaction to sign the final paperwork and go over any issues that have not yet been taken care of. During this time, you can also make plans with your real estate agent to handle final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and lawn or trash services, changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.
Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.
Gain a competitive edge with tailored marketing, premium exposure, and skilled negotiation designed to achieve top results.
