Taking on both selling your existing home and buying a new one can be an overwhelming task. Fortunately, local experts like The Hometown Team — a collaborator and partner with Patterson Homes — can guide you through every step of the process. Here is our 5-step guide to selling while buying, complete with advice from the seasoned real estate professionals at The Hometown Team.
Step One: Preparing to Sell
Before you list your current home on the market, it’s important that it’s in appealing condition for potential buyers. This might include minor repairs, decluttering, or staging the spaces. The real estate specialists at The Hometown Team can provide personalized advice on how to make your home look its best.
Step Two: Price it Right
Setting the right price for your home could mean a quicker sale. A comparative market analysis, considering factors like property size, condition, and location, will help determine an ideal price. Trust The Hometown Team’s expertise in setting a competitive asking price that balances attracting buyers and maximizing return.
Step Three: Market Your Property
Marketing is vital when selling a property. High-quality photos, compelling descriptions, and optimized listings can attract more potential buyers. The Hometown Team utilizes a combination of traditional and digital marketing strategies to reach a broad audience and accelerate the selling process. Also in their partnership with Compass RE, the largest real estate brokerage in the country, the market footprint and outreach are second to none.
Step Four: Negotiating Offers
A seller’s biggest expense is money left on the table. Once offers start coming in for your property, negotiate wisely. Understanding the ins-and-outs of the local real estate market and expertise of contract language and nuisances allows The Hometown Team to provide guidance through the negotiation process, ensuring you secure the best possible deal for your home.
Step Five: Buying and Closing
Simultaneously, you’ll be searching for your next home. Drawing from extensive local knowledge, The Hometown Team assists clients in finding homes that meet their unique needs and are within their budget. Their success at this stage comes from a tailored consultation that leads a unique searching process for each buyer. They also ensure a smooth transition from selling to buying, coordinating timelines, and helping manage the closing.
