Once you contacted the broker/agent you are on your way to selling a home. In a nutshell, the following basic steps are involved:

• Pricing: It cannot be emphasized enough how important it is to price your house correctly.
• Marketing: Ask this question - Are you achieving the exposure needed to let buyers know about your home? It is another reason why CGRI can help.
• Condition of the House: You can pay after the sale by leaving the problems to the buyer and walk away with less money. Or, you can fix to add value before putting up the For Sale sign by taking care of the items now, and enjoy a quicker closing at a higher price.
• Showing: People will not buy what they cannot see. CGRI staff can help bring more qualified buyers to view your home.
• Negotiating: To determine the sale price you will have to negotiate. This could be emotional, and therefore let CGRI professional assit you.
• Inspection:A normal part of the home sale process involves the inspection of a home by an inspection professional. Such inspections are routinely performed on homes of all ages and quality and should not be viewed as a negative reflection upon your home, or as a sign that the prospective buyer necessarily suspects any problems with your home. The main reason for the increase in home inspections in the home purchase process today is due to the greater cost and complexity of today's residences. These inspection reports usually conclude in the successful transaction and purchase of the property, and are used by the purchaser in the maintaining of the newly purchased home.
• Settlement: Finalizing your contract and sale.

There are a number of other details that are involved before your home sale is completed.
