Selling a Home in Central PA
Selling isn’t just putting a sign in the yard. A smooth sale comes from the right sequence: preparation, a strong launch, clear feedback, smart negotiation, and a clean contract-to-close timeline.
The Home Selling Process
Below is a clear, step-by-step process designed to get maximum exposure, create real buyer interest, and keep your sale on schedule.
1) Listing Strategy Session
We meet to confirm goals, timeline, and what needs to happen before your home hits the market.
2) Sign Installed
Your property is set up for visibility and showing readiness as we prepare for launch.
3) Staging Consultation
If you choose to stage, this happens before photography so your home shows its best in photos.
4) Professional Photography
This is your first impression online. Prep is finalized so the photos capture your home at its best.
5) Listing Goes Live
Your listing goes live in the MLS (often as “Coming Soon” first) and the launch plan begins.
6) Showings & Feedback
Showings begin. Feedback is gathered and shared so you know what buyers are thinking.
7) Negotiate Offers
As offers come in, you can accept, reject, or counter based on price, terms, and timing.
8) Accept an Agreement
Once terms are acceptable, we move forward and the sale officially goes under contract.
9) Inspection Period
Buyer inspections occur and repair requests may follow. We negotiate solutions as needed.
10) Appraisal
The buyer’s lender orders an appraisal to confirm value and support the buyer’s financing.
11) Final Walkthrough
The buyer walks through prior to settlement to confirm the home is in the expected condition.
12) Closing & Keys
Settlement occurs, documents are signed, and the home is officially sold—keys delivered.
