Your agent will explain to you the basic agency
relationships and ask you to sign a disclosure form
that verifies the agreed-upon partnership with your
RE/MAX of Midland Realtor. 2.
A RE/MAX of Midland agent meets with you to walk
through your property, discuss your home's strengths
and weaknesses and talk about your desired selling
price. Feel free to ask any questions now, or at any
time during the process. Your Realtor also may suggest
ways to make your property more marketable.
3. Your agent will
help you determine your selling price, based upon the
marketing features of your home. Your agent will also
conduct a market analysis focusing on comparable
properties sold in your area. |
4.
When the initial review and analysis are
finished, and a market price is agreed upon, you will
formally sign a listing agreement and complete a State
of Michigan-required disclosure form. This disclosure
form lists and describes the material facts of your
home.
5. Your property is
listed with Multiple Listing Service, a "For Sale"
sign is posted in your yard and comprehensive
advertising begins. Your home will be published in
Multiple Listing Service magazine, which lists all
property for sale through the Midland Board of
Realtors.
6. Your agent
initiates a marketing plan that is tailored specially
for your home. It may include anything from newspaper
advertisements to an open house, depending on your
property.
Please understand that flexibility is
important. You may be asked to show your home at an
inconvenient time, but please try to accommodate the
prospect's request. This may be the buyer.

When interested, a buyer may make an offer to purchase
your home. The offer will be communicated to you
through your RE/MAX of Midland agent in the form of a
purchase agreement.
8.
Negotiation begins. As the seller, you have the
option to accept the prospect's offer, reject the
offer or make a counter offer.
9.
When the parties have agreed upon a sale
price and terms, a final purchase agreement is
developed. This document directs all remaining aspects
of the transaction, including financial application
and approval dates, appraisals and inspections
contingency fulfillment and closing.
10. A formal closing
take place. Congratulations! Your property is
officially sold and a check is handed over to you. |
