Asking Price
Do you know how much your home is worth?
If your asking price is too high, you won’t be able to sell your home. If your asking price is too low, you could be losing out on a lot of money. Therefore, it’s important that you are informed and educated about the current marketing and the value of other homes when setting your listing price.
We can help you to determine a price to list when selling your home. Contact us for a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which will inform you of your home’s value in today’s market.

Preparing Your Home
You only get one chance to make a first impression. It is important to prepare your home for sale to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.
Some of the factors you need to keep in mind when listing your property for sale are curb appeal, cleanliness, and staging. When you list your home with The Osborne Goddard Team, we provide a consultation with a professional, award-winning stager.
You should also examine your home’s interior and exterior and determine if there are any repairs needed. Taking care of repairs can help you save money in the end, rather than having buyers negotiate repairs into the price of the home.

Accepting an Offer
When a buyer is interested in purchasing your home, they will put in an offer through your real estate agent.
Your agent will review the offer with you to make sure you understand the terms and conditions, which include the buyer’s rice, conditions that may apply, desired date of possession, and closing date.
Along with the offer, there will also be a deposit. You are not required to accept the offer and you are able to make a counteroffer for the buyer to review.
When you and the buyer have signed the offer, you should have your lawyer review the contract before you decide to sign it. Once you have signed the offer, you and the buyer are obligated to close. At last, you have sold your home!
