What To Expect When You’re Selling Your Home

Selling your home is never an easy task, so it helps to prepare yourself ahead of time. Here’s what you need to know before you list your house.

The house selling process can be complicated, and even if you have sold your house before, there’s a chance it could be different this time. So, without further ado, here’s what you can expect when you’re selling your home.

These are the nine fundamental steps to the home selling process:

1. Getting the house ready

2. Pricing your home

3. Listing your property

4. Preparing for showings

5. Showing your property

6. Negotiating with potential buyers

7. Closing the deal

8. Moving out & cleaning up the house

9. Final walk-throughs and closing on your property

Before you list your house, you’ll need to get your home ready. Doing this includes making it look great and getting rid of any clutter visible throughout the property. You’ll want to consider staging your property as well. This step is essential because if a buyer doesn’t think they’ll be able to move into your house right away, they are less likely to make an offer.

If you’re listing your home with a real estate agent, they will be responsible for ensuring that potential buyers are qualified and interested in your property. They’ll also produce marketing materials like brochures and postcards to advertise your house for sale. The most important part of selling with an agent is the bidding process. They will handle negotiations and closing the deal on the house sale for you—providing it goes through smoothly.

Just remember that hiring an agent means that you’re giving up a percentage of your house profit to pay for their services, so remember to add those costs to your budget.

Now it’s time to show your property to prospective buyers. When you show your property, you’ll want to make sure that it is well-maintained and tidy for all prospective buyers. It may be helpful to hire a professional cleaner before showing your property.

Selling your home is a costly endeavor. Not only are you paying for the cost of selling your house, but there are also closing costs to consider. In the state of Utah, closing costs for the seller are about 1.1% of the house’s final sale price. These costs don’t include any realtor fees either. So while you’re getting ready to list, put aside this money for when you’re at the closing table.
