Listing Your Home
Selling your home just got easier with Ola
Northern California is one of the most desirable real estate markets in the world, and we understand that navigating the property selling process can seem challenging. However, with the expertise and breadth of knowledge of your Compass agent, you are in trusted hands. We will guide and advise you during every step of the selling process to help you sell your home with confidence and for a top dollar.
The Proccess
1
Let's Talk
We'll meet to discuss your plans and goals, trends in the current marketplace, and assess your property’s qualities and characteristics. I will analyze comparable property sales, and work with you to determine pricing. You'll outline a strategic plan to achieve the best possible result for you as a seller.
2
Setting the Stage
From applying a fresh coat of paint to rearranging furniture, I will work with you
to ensure the property is visually ready to make the right first impression with buyers.
I will prepare to market your property, which can include scheduling a photoshoot, organizing staging, commissioning an illustrative floor plan, and writing a listing description. We'll also sit down to complete the Seller Disclosure documents necessary for the transaction.
3
Going Live
Your property listing is showcased
on Compass.com and sent across our 100+ partner sites for the duration of the selling process.
4
Spreading the Word
I will develop and execute an intelligent, effective marketing plan. The Compass marketing team will produce beautiful print and digital collateral to strategically showcase your property. Eye-catching yard signs are produced and can be placed outside your property.
5
Making Connections
I will continuously leverage professional contacts and the Compass Network Tool to find
ideal buyers and brokers. Open houses are hosted for both brokers and clients on an ongoing basis.
6
Building a Strategy
I will conduct an assessment of
the market response within the first couple weeks your listing is live. Feedback from agents and buyers is aggregated, and the listing strategy is revised if necessary.
7
Communication & Measuring Success
You and I will establish the
best method and frequency of communication. I will provide
frequent updates and continuous
traffic metrics, as well as information about the market.
8
Receiving an Offer
Once an offer is made, I will contact you to review the terms of the offer and to analyze the pros and cons. Together I will help you decide how to respond to the buyer in one of several ways: by accepting the offer, rejecting the offer, or making a counter offer.
9
Negotiating the Details
The contract is negotiated and accepted, and the transaction summary is circulated to all
parties. I will observe and record
all contingency periods throughout the in-contract stage. A property appraisal and home inspection take place, and any further negotiations are managed. All financial and supplemental information is collated and submitted to the managing agent.
10
Completing the Close
I will monitor and coordinate all the details necessary to get you to the finish line. Once the buyer has performed inspections, removed their contingencies, and the loan (if any) is ready to fund, we'll arrange the final walk-through. Finally, at closing you will hand over keys to the buyer.
