Have you been wondering what you need to do to ensure a successful sale in 2026? Here's our home-selling process broken down into 5 simple steps. 

5 steps for selling your home in 2026

#1) Planning: We'll tour your home with you and discuss the activities and timeline that will help you experience a rewarding sale. After our visit, we'll deliver our market analysis, marketing plan, and action plan so you are ready to move forward with confidence. 

#2) Preparation: As we prepare your home for the market, we'll work closely with you to address your decluttering, staging, home repairs, and cosmetic improvements. As needed, we'll bring in other trusted professionals who will help you carry out your plan, and for a fair fee, too. 

#3) Marketing: We'll launch your listing and execute your customized marketing plan for you. Your marketing will be professional and polished, and designed to attract buyers who are excited to see your home in person. 

#4) Negotiation: As the offers begin rolling in, we'll negotiate your sale by helping you select the buyer who offers the best possible combination of price and terms. After you've chosen your buyer, we'll closely monitor all of the contingencies in your offer and effectively negotiate the inspection process, too. 

#5) Closing: We'll manage all of the paperwork and communication with the title company and your buyer's lender leading up to the sale. We'll schedule your closing and attend your closing with you, so you'll have a professional by your side until the day you receive your check at the closing table.
