You have accepted the offer; so now what is next?
If the sale is subject to specific terms, the conditions need to be removed in a specific period of time, known as subject removal. The subject removal period is typically from one week to 10 days and will be specified in the contract of purchase and sale. If there are no conditions attached to the sale, the next stage will be completion day.
I am a first time seller. What should I expect once I put my house on the market?
Wow, this is an exciting time for you; your home is on the market. If you are living in the home for sale, I, or your sales associate will notify you when there is a showing or open house scheduled. You will want to clean and de-clutter your home prior to any showings. If there is an offer, you will be notified immediately and your sales associate will walk you through the process, step by step.
When you do a free market evaluation, will you just tell me a price or will you give me recommendations for upgrades?
During a free market analysis I, Ronald Klarenbeek, will primarily be providing you with an estimated price for your home based on an evaluation of the current market. I will advise you on general selling features and how you may be able to promote you home. If you do have any further inquiries regarding how to make your home more appealing for sales please feel free to ask and I will provide you with as much information as possible.
My home is for sale. When should I start to look for a new place?
It all depends on the market. If the market is slowing down, you might want to wait until your property has sold before you start to look for a new place. If you do find a new place while your home is still for sale, you can write a condition in the offer that the purchase is subject to the sale of your home. Conversely, in a booming market you may wish to start looking for a new home before you sell your existing property as the average time listings stay on the marketing is shorter and you will want to be prepared if you sell your home quickly. I will assist you with any question or concerns you have during the decision making process.
