1. Assess Your Goals & Timeline
- Determine your ideal sale date and reason for selling
- Research current market conditions in your area
- Identify your target sale price range
- Decide whether you'll buy before or after selling
- Schedule a free home value review with Wynnmore Realty
2. Prepare Your Home
- Declutter every room — less is more for showings
- Deep clean carpets, windows, grout, and appliances
- Complete minor repairs: leaky faucets, chipped paint, loose handles
- Consider staging key rooms (living room, primary bedroom, kitchen)
- Improve curb appeal: fresh mulch, trimmed hedges, power-washed driveway
- Repaint in neutral, modern tones if colors are dated
3. Pricing Strategy
- Review your Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from Wynnmore
- Factor in recent upgrades and neighborhood trends
- Price competitively — overpricing leads to longer days on market
- Discuss pricing strategy with your broker (aspirational vs. aggressive)
- Set a review date to reassess if no offers received
4. Marketing & Exposure
- Professional photography and video walkthrough
- Create a compelling listing description highlighting key features
- List on MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and social platforms
- Targeted digital marketing to qualified buyer demographics
- Open house scheduling and private showing logistics
5. Showings & Feedback
- Keep your home show-ready at all times
- Remove personal items and valuables during showings
- Leave during showings — buyers feel more comfortable exploring
- Review feedback with your agent after each showing
- Adjust strategy based on consistent feedback patterns
6. Offer & Negotiation
- Review all offers with your Wynnmore broker
- Evaluate beyond price: contingencies, closing timeline, financing strength
- Counter strategically — don't leave value on the table
- Request proof of funds or pre-approval from buyers
- Accept, counter, or decline within the response deadline
7. Under Contract to Close
- Cooperate with the buyer's home inspection
- Negotiate repair requests reasonably
- Prepare for the appraisal — provide a list of upgrades
- Gather all warranties, manuals, and HOA documents
- Schedule final walkthrough and coordinate moving logistics
- Review the closing statement (HUD-1 / closing disclosure)
- Sign closing documents and hand over the keys
