Listing Agent Good Practices

The success of a home’s sale begins with the preparation before it’s on the market and continues with close attention and organization throughout the sales process.

 

A successful sale isn’t only about the final sales price!

​

Success also includes the smoothness and execution of the transaction for both the sellers and the buyers.

​

For initiating a smooth sales process, properly preparing the home on all levels before it goes on the market is very helpful.

​

I’ve outlined two crucial elements of preparing a home for sale, including organizing the home’s documents and preparing it to achieve its actual value.

​

However, it’s not only about this initial preparation.

​

Below is an outline of the required action elements for agents selling a home in Summit County and Fairplay:

​

• Prepare an accurate Current Market Analysis to advise on the home’s selling price.

• Ensure the home is prepared and staged for achieving its actual value.

• Recommend professionals for any repairs or servicing the home may need before the home is listed.

• Ensure the documents for the home are prepared and organized before the home is listed.

• Have an established marketing process and plan for the home.

• Staying proactive and diligently focused on the home while it’s listed.

• Communicate feedback from the showings to the sellers.

• Be an experienced negotiator to assist the sellers when offers are made on the home.

• After the home has gone under contract, staying closely on top of all deadlines and advising the sellers on matters arising during the sales process.

• Ensure that all items for closing are organized and completed.

• Perform any post-closing duties, if needed.
