Sellers Journey 

The Seller's Journey

Contact Katie Duvall for a free consultation for a more detailed analysis of your personalized journey.

 MEET WITH ME
The journey begins with establishing rapport, wants/needs, and counseling about the selling process. Our collective goal at Rector Hayden is to lead, teach & serve you through the seller's journey.
 
AGREE ON A SELLING PLAN
Agreeing on a selling plan involves reviewing market conditions and the tools available to test the market at the agreed price and state of the home/property.
 
STAGE HOME
Painting, decor, reducing clutter, landscaping helps sell the home. You cannot change the home's location, and you can change the condition.
 
LISTING PAPERWORK
This is where you officially partner with Katie and Rector Hayden. The listing paperwork kicks off Rector Hayden's team to legally and officially tell the world your home is for sale.

HOME WARRANTY
A Home Warranty service contract can help protect your budget from costly surprise repairs and replace your home's covered effective mechanical systems and appliances components. Adding a warranty during the listing period may help reduce your "out-of-pocket" expenses from covered breakdowns.

PHOTOS TAKEN
The number one item desired by buyers when viewing homes online is photos.
 MARKET EXPOSURE
We make every effort to provide agents with information and access to your home. Our Rector Hayden systems help spread the word about your home to the world.

SHOWINGS
After agents and consumers see your home online, they may want to visit the house and get a much better feel. We call these "showings."
 
PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Market conditions determine the price buyers will pay. Price adjustments may be needed if no showings and offers occur. Price adjustments are a NORMAL part of a seller's journey.
 
OFFER PRESENTED
The buyer's agent contacts the seller's agent to place an offer. The seller's agent then contacts the home seller to present the terms and conditions of the offer.
 
NEGOTIATIONS
Not all parties think alike; negotiations are a NORMAL part of the seller's journey.
 
COUNTER/ACCEPTED OFFER
As the seller, you can agree to an offer or counter-offer. It is FAIR and REASONABLE for parties to counter offer. At some point in the process, the buyer and seller agree.

 INSPECTIONS
The buyer will write in the accepted offer in most transactions to have a property inspected, and inspections are a NORMAL part of the journey.
 
REPAIRS
After inspections, requests may be made for repairs. It is FAIR and REASONABLE for this request to be made. It is your choice to make the repairs - most sellers do.
 
BUYER CLOSING PROCESS
You are waiting for the buyer's side to go through the processes to transfer the property legally. Further negotiations may be needed to keep your seller's journey on track.

 CLOSING
This is where you meet to sign the legal papers to transfer ownership & collect any money due at the closing.
