For sellers
Selling Your Home
Selling a home is an emotional experience. You have memories in your home, and saying goodbye to those is not an easy thing to do. Your MW REALTOR® is here to help. We don’t want you to say goodbye to your memories — we want to help you take those memories with you and make new ones.
The Home Selling Process
Listing Appointment
Your MW REALTOR® will come to your home. You’ll meet with them and discuss your home’s value, features, perks, and changes to help determine the best listing price for your home, as well as the strategy best suited to getting it sold in the timeframe you have in mind.
Cleaning and Organizing
Before your home goes on the market, we want to help you get organized. This will make your move easy and the home as presentable as possible — and it's a great time to reflect on your time in the home. Your MW agent may suggest changes that will help make the home the most sellable it can be, and can help you find a great deep-cleaning service to give it a final shine.
Photos
Your MW agent will engage the services of a professional photographer. They will frame your home in its best light, and your agent will use those photos to tell its story.
Sign in the Yard
Once your MW REALTOR® puts their sign in the yard, you’re off to the races — though you haven’t seen how much work they’ve already done to market your home. It will have already spent time on social media, at broker breakfast clubs, in REALTOR® forums, and much more. MW agents don’t rely on just one place to market a home; they use every resource at their disposal, tailored to what makes your house different.
Open Houses
Depending on your desires and willingness, your MW REALTOR® may hold one or more open houses — a great opportunity to show off your house to the public and to brokers. They’ll always be hosted by your MW agent or a member of the MW family.
Showings
Showings in your home will never happen without a licensed REALTOR® present. A log of every showing is kept, and any feedback provided by agents is shared with you.
Scheduling
MW utilizes the Centralized Showing Service (CSS), which lets you determine when your home is shown or not. It automates the process, so there’s no delay in getting people in to see your home.
Negotiation
Your MW REALTOR® will engage with any offer that is brought forth. They’ll help you see the merits of every offer, regardless of its overall quality, and fight to preserve the value of your home.
Contract Status
Your MW REALTOR® will make sure the balance of the transaction happens without incident. When opportunities or issues arise, they’ll respond swiftly and solve them creatively.
Closing
Your MW REALTOR® will be at closing with you, providing support to make this final chapter in the home as simple as possible.
As your life changes, your MW REALTOR® will be there to help you.
Staging checklist
Here are some tips to get ready for the stagers.
A little prep goes a long way — these are the small, doable things that help buyers picture themselves living there.
De-clutter. You don’t really need the world to know that your collection of phone charging cables is unrivaled, do you?
Take photos of family off the walls. A few around the house is fine, but we’re trying to help buyers imagine themselves living there — not with roommates.
If you plan to move before the sale, repaint tired walls before the stagers go to work. Have the stager help you choose a complementary color.
Make the bed! Our lives are messy, we get it — but we don’t need to remind potential buyers of that.
Get stuff off the floor, especially in closets. It makes closets look bigger — and you might find that treasure map you were missing.
Take appliances off the counters. Show off that open space — let it breathe.
Toilet lids — close them. It makes it look like they aren’t used. Silly, maybe, but people decide their own story about a home.
Take everything off the fridge. It’s a message center, we know — but it’s time to switch to email, at least until the house is sold.
Mow your lawn, trim your hedges, and get your weeds under control. Your house gets sized up from the street first.
Clean — not the weekly light clean, but the deep, deep clean that makes your house shine like you forgot it could.
