Selling Your Home
Wondering who pays for what? Check out the list here!
Congratulations! You've chose to list your home for sale with M&M Property Group! So smart! You've signed your listing agreement, filled out your documents, chosen the perfect price and listing date!
Now what?
Pre-Listing:
- Complete your customized staging punch list!
- Rent a storage unit and start moving belongings to make spaces appear larger!
- Make sure every surface is sparkling clean and lawn is cut.
- Your agent will schedule your listing photos and drone shoot.
- Your agent will take room measurements, complete MLS listing, showing guidelines and put "Coming Soon" signs in the yard!
Consider a pre-listing home inspection! This will uncover anything repairs the home needs so they can be addressed before the home goes on the market. After the home is under contract and the buyer orders an inspection, all negotiated repairs must be completed by a licensed professional, even simple fixes. Finding these things out before hand might save you money because you can make the repairs yourself, if you are handy!
