1.Choose your agent.

Well, hello. Selecting an agent is a highly personal decision. You trust them to advise you through one of the biggest financial transactions of your life. And it’s not a responsibility we take lightly. Through personal and diligent work with our clients, we’ve come to understand what’s important, allowing us to establish a sense of confidence and comfort.

2.Have an initial consultation.

Let’s get started. Now is the time we get to know you, your needs and hopes for the sale of your home. Do you need to close by a specific time? How can you prepare your home for sale? From prepping for showings to providing crucial feedback along the way, your agent is your advisor from start to finish, and then some.

3.Prepare your home for sale.

Before the listing price is determined, it’s important to consider essential repairs, cosmetic improvements, staging, and in some cases, renovations. We are here to help you make decisions that position your home in the best possible light. We suggest informed changes that will place you in a better negotiating position with potential buyers.

4. Your Home’s Red Carpet Debut

No two properties are alike and each has a story to tell. Our full-service creative team has created a comprehensive suite of marketing assets that help set our new listings apart from the crowd. They are designed to showcase your home in the best possible light for both print and digital marketing platforms.

5.Home Tours. We’re in this together.

To optimize the value of your home in the eyes of potential buyers and investors, it’s important to ensure that it is presented in the best possible light. We tailor the experience to your wants and needs, offering a menu of services that includes, without limitation, alerting you prior to showings and completing a pre-showing checklist.

6. Feedback, Feedback and More Feedback

From the moment you list your home with The MS Group you will receive regular updates and feedback from showings and open houses. We stay in constant contact with you throughout the entire process.

7. An Offer Is In

Congrats, your first offer is in. Offers will include the offer price, desired inclusions/exclusions of personal items (such as appliances and fixtures), amount of the buyer’s initial deposit, desired dates the potential buyer would like to take possession of the home, contingencies and the date the offer expires. We’ll walk you through it.

8. We Did It: Offer Acceptance

Once both parties come to an agreement the offer is considered “accepted.” Depending on offer terms and conditions, the buyer may begin working on their financing, having the property appraised and fulfilling their duty to further inspect and investigate the property. Depending on the buyer’s contractual rights, there may be additional negotiations that occur with regard to buyer-requested repairs or price concessions based on the findings of their inspection reports. At the same time, we will work to ensure that you remain on track with your contractual obligations, which may include delivery of required disclosures, providing access to the property, removing seller-related contingencies (if any) and ultimately being prepared to close escrow.

9. Let’s Find Your Next Home

As you begin your next chapter, we are here to assist you, whether finding your next great home or assisting with any relocation needs you may have. Once you settle in, reach out for resources—need a contractor, designer, painter, plumber or house-sitter? We have the resources and connections you’ll need.
