RESIDENTIAL · SELLER GUIDE

Sell with a Plan.
Move Forward with Confidence.

A practical guide to preparing, pricing, marketing and selling a home in Greater Houston.

THE HOME SELLING ROADMAP

Eight steps from preparation to closing.

Every property and seller has different priorities. This guide outlines the decisions we'll work through together.

STEP 01

Plan your sale

Clarify your priorities: timing, desired proceeds, moving plans, and any repairs or preparation you can realistically complete.

STEP 02

Understand your market position

Review recent comparable sales, current competing listings, condition, location and buyer expectations. Pricing should reflect the market—not just an online estimate.

STEP 03

Prepare your property

Focus on cleaning, decluttering, minor repairs, landscaping and presentation. Discuss major expenses before committing to them.

STEP 04

Create a marketing plan

Professional photography, compelling descriptions, accurate property information and exposure to qualified buyers all matter.

STEP 05

Launch and monitor feedback

Monitor showing activity, buyer feedback and changes in competing inventory. Adjust thoughtfully when the evidence supports a change.

STEP 06

Evaluate offers beyond price

Compare financing, contingencies, earnest money, option periods, closing dates, concessions and the buyer’s ability to perform.

STEP 07

Navigate contract to closing

Coordinate inspections, negotiations, appraisal or financing issues, title requirements, deadlines and agreed repairs.

STEP 08

Understand estimated proceeds

Review an estimated seller net sheet covering expected sale price, loan payoff, brokerage compensation, title expenses, prorations and concessions. Final figures come from the closing statement.
