Thinking about selling? Preparation is what separates a smooth, profitable sale from a stressful one. In this video, Katherine Brough with Seven Gables Real Estate walks through the steps that get a home market-ready and positioned for strong offers.
Topics covered
- Review your financial profile. Understand your equity and what the sale needs to do for your next step.
- Meet with a lender. Explore your mortgage payoff and the financing options for whatever comes next.
- Set up a seller consultation. Build a selling plan: timing, pricing strategy, and how the home will be presented.
- Assess maintenance and updates. Which improvements add value and which are better handled through pricing.
- Understand the market and trends. Set the right price and the right timing for your sale.
The right preparation can mean a faster sale, fewer hurdles, and a higher return. Katherine's later videos go deeper on two of these steps: which improvements are worth making before you sell and what you actually keep from a $1 million sale.
