M&D IS RANKED #1 FOR GETTING YOU OVER ASKING PRICE ON YOUR HOME!

THE SELLING PROCESS

Here's what you can expect!

PREPARING FOR THE SALE

To start, preparing your property for the sale means decluttering and cleaning, walking through with an agent and determining repairs or renovations to get your property ready for potential buyers. Well-maintained homes that are clean and staged can sell on average 9 percent higher and 68 percent faster!

SETTING THE LISTING PRICE

In a market like this one, setting a listing price can be complex. We are learning time and time again that it is better to go with the market trends, careful not to overprice and let your property just sit, in order to create the best value for you and the frenzy of “over-asking-price” offers you want!

Our mission is to revolutionize the Real Estate industry through relationships and cutting-edge marketing. Unlike other firms, we have in-house marketing made up of professional photographers, videographers, social media experts and we know best how to get your property the exposure it deserves.

STEP BY STEP PROCESS FOR HOME SELLERS

Hire a Top Real Estate Agent: One of the key differentiators in whether your home will be sold quickly, at what price and how it will be marketed all depend on the quality of your real estate agent. A great agent can save you upwards of 20K when it comes to negotiations as well. So do your research and pick the best agent and firm with the most top reviews.
Complete Home Improvements: On average, sellers spend about $5,000 preparing their home for sale, but the repairs and upgrades you decide to make will depend on the condition of your home and what buyers in your area are looking for! Your real estate agent can help you identify items, based on your particular budget, that will get you the most bang for your buck.
Setting the Price: Your agent will evaluate "Comps" or comparable homes in your area that have recently sold to help you come up with your sales price. Also to be factored in, is the condition of your home, upgrades or other amenities that add to your home's value.
Staging Your Home For The Sale: Staging starts with decluttering your home. A good rule of thumb is to remove 50 percent of the items from your house (start early packing) or anything you have not used in the past month. Next, you will want to clean every nook and cranny of the home so it is pristine. Then, ensure all small and minor repairs are made in addition to anything else the agent has recommended that is within your budget.
Use Top-Notch Marketing To Get Your Home Top Exposure: This is key, and where M&D Real Estate shines best. We have an in-house marketing firm that are experts in ensuring you have the professional photography, videographers, social media experts, SEO and internet site experts that will all contribute to how much exposure and therefore, how many offers your home will receive. Check out the M&D Facebook page to see recent examples of our work!
Sift Through Offers & Negotiation Phase: Your agent will help you identify the best offers and will ensure you receive the best negotiation services to ensure you walk away with the most money in your pocket. At M&D, unlike many other firms, we provide coaching and training on a weekly basis on negotiations. This is why we are known for getting our sellers the best prices and best deals.
Inspections & Appraisal: The timeframe for inspections begins immediately following the contract execution date. During this phase, your agent will guide you and negotiate with buyers on different items and terms. An appraisal will also be performed to ensure the sales price is reasonable in terms of the home's actual market value.
Move-Out! Plan ahead for moving out. Moving expenses can be pricey so include this in your budget. Start packing away slowly, starting when you're preparing for the sell. Be sure to let your agent know if you would like a "Lease-Back" contingency in the contract to give yourself extra time before having to be out of the home.
CLOSING DAY: Closing day is finally here! You will have some paperwork to sign, your agent will set the date and time based on the contract and available at the title company and let you know. Be sure to bring a Photo ID! At this time, you will hand over the keys and complete the transaction.
