How to List Your Home

Here is the selling process from first conversation to closing day. Alan handles the details so you can focus on your next move.

1. Consultation and walkthrough

   Meet with Alan to discuss your goals, timeline and next move. He tours the home and notes its best features and anything to address.

2. Set the price

   Review a comparative market analysis of recent local sales and current competition, and choose a pricing strategy together.

3. Prepare the home

   Complete repairs, declutter, deep clean and stage. Gather documents such as HOA information, utility costs, well and septic records, and any permits.

4. Photos and marketing

   Professional photos and video are taken, the listing is written, and your home goes live on the MLS and across the major real estate websites.

5. Showings and open houses

   Keep the home show-ready, use the showing service to approve appointments, and receive buyer feedback.

6. Review and negotiate offers

   Alan presents each offer with a clear comparison of price, terms and risk, then negotiates for the best result.

7. Inspection and appraisal

   Respond to the buyer's inspection requests and support the appraisal with comparable sales and a list of improvements.

8. Closing

   Sign at the title company, hand over the keys, and receive your proceeds.
