2. Set the right price for your home.If you don’t want your home to stay too long on the market, be careful with how you price your listing. Price it too high and you might not be able to sell it. Price it too low and you lose on potential profit from your investment.

A good Pleasanton luxury REALTOR® has the tools and

expertise to help you come up with the best price for

your home by performing a comparative market

analysis. Your agent will assess similar properties that

were sold or are for sale in your area over the previous

months and use this information to help determine

the proper price for your own home for sale.

3. List and market your home.

Your agent will place your listing on the MLS so that other buyer’s agents and potential buyers can view your property and information about it online. The more online platforms your agent lists your property on, the more exposure it gains and the better chances of finding a potential buyer.

4. Prepare your home for viewing or an open house.

Make sure your home is at its best condition and properly staged before doing an open house or viewing. There are two types of open house. The first is an agent’s open house where Pleasanton CA real estate agents are invited to view your home, also known as Broker’s Tour.. Each of these agents may have a prospective buyer for your home.

The second type of open house is a public open house where anyone is welcome to walk in and view your home. It’s a great way to show your home at its best to many potential buyers at once. Your agent will host the open house and answer all questions regarding your property. It is advisable that the seller be away during showings to make the potential buyers more comfortable in asking questions about the home to the agent.

5. Wait for the best offer.

Sometimes a listing doesn’t sell immediately. Resist the urge to pull your home off the market. Patience and persistence is the key to selling any home. Take note of the 3 factors that determine how fast a home is sold: location, condition, and price. Though you cannot do anything to change the location of your home, you obviously can take steps to improve its condition and adjust the price. Review your marketing strategy regularly with your agent, who should also be regularly reviewing if your home is competing well in the market.

6. Accept an offer.

Once you get a great offer, make sure that the

purchase offer has the following:

- Details the buyer’s price

- Specific conditions & terms that may apply

- Desired date of possession

- Expiration date of the offer

The buyer should make an earnest money deposit with the offer as an act of good faith and to show that they are really serious about buying your home. You don’t need to accept the offer as is. You may make a counteroffer that is closer to your original asking price. Negotiating and making a counteroffer is one of the steps in setting the final terms and conditions of the sale of your home.

Once the offer is signed by all parties & acknowledged by the offering party, it becomes a binding contract, so make sure you understand all the terms before signing. Once all the terms are clear and the contract is signed, you can proceed to closing, settle all outstanding payments and taxes, and receive the proceeds for your home for sale.
