What to Expect
Selling a property in California can be a complex process, but with Kate California Realty by your side, you can sell with confidence. As a seller, you can expect a tailored approach to marketing your home, expert pricing strategies, and dedicated support throughout the entire process. We're here to make your home-selling experience seamless and successful.
Key Steps
To ensure a smooth transition, here are the key steps sellers should take before listing their property:
Prepare Your Home: Get your home in the best possible condition for sale. Consider tasks such as decluttering, deep cleaning, making necessary repairs, and enhancing curb appeal. Staging your home can also make it more appealing to potential buyers.
Gather Important Documents: Collect all relevant documents, such as the deed, property survey, tax records, utility bills, and records of home improvements. These documents will be needed during the sales process.
Complete Necessary Repairs: Address any major issues that could affect the sale, such as structural problems or safety hazards. Minor repairs and updates, like fresh paint or new fixtures, can also boost your home's appeal.
Consider Home Inspections: While not mandatory, some sellers choose to have a pre-listing inspection. This can identify potential issues in advance, giving you the opportunity to address them or adjust your pricing accordingly.
Working Together
Here’s a comprehensive overview of what you can expect when we start working together.
Determine Your Selling Strategy: We will discuss pricing, marketing plans, and the timeline for listing your home. Then we will set a competitive asking price.
Market Your Property: As part of our selling system, we will implement a marketing plan to promote your home. This includes professional photography, online listings, open houses, and advertising.
Disclose All Information: Along with your listing paperwork, we will walk you through property disclosures, where you are required to provide accurate information about the condition of your property and any known issues to potential buyers.
Negotiate Offers: You will always be informed of incoming offers, and we will work together to accept, reject, or counter offers until both parties agree on terms.
Guidance Through Escrow: Once you accept an offer, we will partner with a reputable escrow company and prepare for the closing process. This involves finalizing paperwork, addressing any contingencies, and coordinating the transfer of ownership.
Move-Out Plan: Plan your move-out timeline and logistics. Ensure that you've vacated the property by the agreed-upon date and have completed any necessary arrangements with the buyer.
Transfer of Ownership: We will coordinate handing over keys and access to the property to the buyer.
