Seller's Guide

Everything you need to know about putting your home on the market, accepting an offer, and closing on your home.

Get Your Complimentary Price Evaluation

In order to get the price you deserve, you need to properly calculate your property’s value by taking into account all the available information about your property, your area, and the current market.

A Step-by-Step Guide

Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of an experienced team of real estate agents and this easy to follow guide, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.​​​​​​​

Step 1: Understand Why You're Selling

What do you want to accomplish with the sale of your home? Do you want to make a certain amount of money that you can put toward a larger or nicer home? Do you need to sell it as soon as possible to facilitate a move to a new city or area? Once you understand your needs, you can better craft your offer. For example, if you need to sell quickly, you might want to price your home lower than if your goal is to make a certain profit margin. Make sure you convey these needs to your team of real estate agents once you choose one so they can adjust your selling price accordingly.

Step 2: Determine Selling Price

Knowing how to price your home is one of the most important parts of the selling process. When you set a fair price in the beginning, you’ll get the most interest from other real estate agents and prospective buyers. Overpricing your home could lead to reduced interest, and underpricing leads to receiving less than what your home is worth. Working with a team of real estate agents is the best way to determine the right selling price for your home. A team of real estate agents with experience can determine what other comparable homes are selling for, evaluate the current market, and may even suggest a home appraisal.

Step 3: Start Preparations

If you’ve kept your home in showroom condition since you’ve lived in it, you’re in the minority of homeowners. Once you price your home, it’s time to start getting it ready to be shown to potential buyers. This includes getting rid of clutter, depersonalizing the space so that buyers can envision themselves in the space, making any small repairs, and doing a deep clean to make sure your home is in pristine condition.

Step 4: Develop a Marketing Strategy

We will develop a marketing strategy that is perfect for advertising your home. This involves listing the home and then driving the right people to that listing through social media campaigns, agent-to-agent referrals, traditional media, or SEO advertising. Our team creates a marketing campaign that aims to get the most possible traffic to your listing in the first three weeks after becoming a client.

Step 5: Evaluate Offers

Receiving an offer is an exciting part of the process, but it doesn’t mean the journey is over. We will evaluate each offer and make sure the party making the offer is prequalified or pre-approved by a mortgage lender and that their offer is acceptable to you. If the offer is too low, you can make a counter-offer or offer other ways to bridge the gap, such as covering some or all of the closing costs, making repairs, adjusting the move-in date, or leaving some appliances or fixtures for the new buyer.

Default Image

Step 6: Accept an Offer

Once we deem the offer is acceptable, we will review the proposed contract to make sure it’s all in order and includes the necessary components such as deposit amount, down payment, financing, inspection rights and repair allowances, contingencies, settlement date, and a list of fees and who will pay them. When both parties have agreed to the term, a final contract will be prepared by your team of real estate agents.

Default Image

Step 7: Get Ready to Close

You have accepted an offer and are now very close to the end of your selling journey. But first, you and the buyer must make a list of what needs to be done before closing. In some cases, your home may need to be formally inspected, surveyed, and appraised. In other cases, major or minor repairs will need to be made before the house can close. We will head up efforts to develop and execute this list, get each action item paid for by the correct party, and make sure everything is in order by the closing date. A few days before the closing date, we will call the company closing the transaction to make sure everything is ready to go. If you haven’t done so already, you also need to make arrangements to move out of the home so the new buyer can take possession.

Default Image

Step 8: Close

You’ve reached the last step in the seller’s process. When you close on a home you are selling, you are legally transferring ownership of the property to the new buyer. We will meet with the company closing the transaction to sign the final paperwork and go over any issues that have not yet been taken care of. During this time, you can also make plans with your team of real estate agents to handle final details such as canceling utilities, cable, and lawn or trash services, changing the name on accounts that the new owner is retaining and ensuring the new owner has instructions for all appliances that will remain in the home.

Congratulations!

Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.

"During the past 20+ years, we used to frequently receive brochures and/or reports of property sales in my area from Clint Currin. We assumed that he was truly a successful professional real estate agent who understood and dominated my area thoroughly. We decided to choose him to represent us in selling our farm in Hillsboro last month. It proved that we'd been right. Clint Currin is an honest, sincere, patient, responsible expert who sold our property really fast with a reasonable price thanks to his skill in a very large system of advertisement and his ways of handling the affair that gives great confidence and trust to both seller and buyer. We will for sure recommend our relatives and friends to Clint."

"Clint is one of the best realtors we've worked with (and we've worked with about a dozen over the years). He is not only knowledgeable about valuations of unique rural properties, but he was patient and supportive as we navigated Washington County's property line adjustment requirements--a 6 month long process. Clint's marketing materials (professional photos, drone footage, printed brochure) were amazing. Most important to us: it was clear Clint was motivated by what was in OUR best interest."

SELLERS - FAQ

The State of Oregon does allow a realtor to represent both the buyer and seller. However, if Clint is working with a buyer that is interested in one of his listings, he does not represent buyers on his own listings. He feels this does not provide a clear vision for who he represents. He has made it part of his practice not to represent buyers on his listings. He will happily show them the property. If the buyer decides they want to proceed with an offer he will put them in contact with an agent that can fully represent their interests. Seller Disclosure Pamphlet.

You will pay a real estate commission, title insurance, ½ the escrow fee, county tax if applicable and a few other costs related to removing liens, etc. Clint charges a total of a 5% real estate commission which is based on the sale price. Title insurance and escrow fee are also based on the sale price and amount to approximately .0055% of the sale price. Clint will always provide you with an estimated seller net sheet which will provide you an estimate of what you can expect your net proceeds to be.

The 5% real estate commission is shared between the seller’s realtor and the buyer’s realtor. Clint splits the 5% real estate commission 50/50 between himself and the buyer’s agent. This cooperative arrangement benefits the seller since it indicates to a buyer’s agent that they are assured to be well compensated if they bring a qualified buyer to one of his listings. The commission is only paid once the sale is closed.

Market price is the price an informed buyer and an informed seller agree on as a specific price for a property. Value can be/is very subjective based on many variables. You want a well-qualified representative providing you with current market data on the real estate market and advising you correctly as to what a willing buyer will consider paying for your property based on past comparable sales and properties currently on the market. Clint will be providing you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for your property that will give you some guidance in pricing your property to attract buyers and maximize the value of your home.

Nationally, houses spend around 100 days on the market before they sell, although the time varies wildly based on area, price and uniqueness of property.

Have everything in working order (i.e., replace burned out light bulbs, repair leaking taps and toilets). Touch up paint if needed, de-clutter and clean your house, clean floors/carpets, cut/trim lawn and shrubs, weed and edge, touch up exterior paint if needed. Clint will walk through your home and advise you on the items that should be tended to prior to putting the home on the market. He will provide you with priority list identifying the most important items to take care on top of the list and progressing down the list to the less important items.

On average, a staged home sells 88% faster and for 20% more money than a home that is left as is. Professional staging is not inexpensive, so Clint will advise on staging. If it is agreed the house needs professional staging, he has someone who can provide that service.
