Sellers: Your House Is On The Market...Now What?

For todays Seller Survival Tips, I thought I'd share my notes on life after listing....⁠

⁠Now that you've prepared your home for listing photos, you're ready for showings! After each showing, buyer's agents receive messages requesting feedback.⁠

⁠This is not the time to take things personally. Take the feedback with a grain of salt, but keep watch for any trending feedback (like a concern about the condition of flooring or that your home is priced too high). Your agent will guide you and give you suggestions on what to do with the feedback you receive! (And note: no feedback is feedback!)⁠

⁠Hopefully it won't be long until you get an offer! Yay! There are a lot of things worth considering when preparing to respond to an offer (swipe for my list!) I always remind sellers to know their bottom dollar but also be willing to negotiate if possible! Buyers and sellers ultimately want the same thing: to transition ownership of the home as smoothly as possible. Don't lose sight of this!⁠

⁠Now that you've accepted an offer, your home is Pending or Under Contract. A lot will happen during this time, like the inspection and appraisal. As a seller, your job is to focus on packing and keeping your home in the same condition it was in when it went Pending.⁠
