Selling or buying a home is a significant milestone in anyone’s life. For sellers, listing a home involves careful preparation and strategic planning, while for buyers, it’s an exciting adventure of finding the perfect place to call home. In this blog, we will explore the key stages of the real estate SELLING process and how the Linda Filby Team is committed to making your real estate experience as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Before listing your home, as a valued seller, you must ensure your property is in the best condition to attract potential buyers. The pre-listing process is a critical phase in setting the foundation for a successful sale! This involves decluttering, repairs, painting, landscaping, and staging your home to showcase the best and most important features. The Linda Filby Team understands the significance of preparing your home to make a lasting impression on potential buyers.

We begin this process with a confidential staging consultation to walk through your home so we can create a detailed checklist of curated tasks for you, the contractor, the landscaper, and any other potential vendors we recommend are needed. This checklist is typed up for you, room by room, as a guide to assist you in preparing for the sale. Once completed, the staging installation can begin AND in most cases, this is a complimentary service we offer our seller clients.

Additionally, behind the scenes, we work on scheduling measurements to create floor plans and the scheduling of photography and video. With Linda’s vision as the guide, the administrative and marketing teams create beautiful marketing materials such as direct mail postcards, brochures, listing sheets, special feature sheets, floor plans, and more. Linda and the marketing team also create email blasts to promote the property and set up digital marketing plans for the websites, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Lastly, Linda works with you to determine the optimal listing price strategy based on your neighborhood’s current market trends and comparable properties. All these steps lead to creating a compelling listing that captures the attention of potential buyers, which leads us to achieve the highest possible price the market will bear for your home!
