The Property Listing Process

Are you planning to list your home with a local realtor? Then you may be wondering what the process of listing your home involves. It requires a lot of time, attention to detail, and forms. Working with a realtor gives you the best chance at selling your home more quickly and for a higher sales price. That is why most Americans sell through a realtor. Here is the typical process involved with selling your home through a real estate agent:

• First Meeting: The first meeting with a realtor will generally involve discussing why you are selling the property, a sales comparison to find an appropriate listing price for the home, and discussing expectations if you decide to work with the realtor.

• Second Meeting/ Form Signing: This will be the time that the legal relationship between parties is formed. A listing agreement will be signed that indicates to the broker that the representing realtor has the right to list the property and indicate the compensation for the realtor. There will be other various forms and disclosures to be signed such as fair housing, property condition disclosure, and agency disclosure.

• Pictures Taken: Before listing your home on the MLS, pictures will need to be taken to accompany the listing. The realtor will, typically, cover the expense of hiring a professional photographer to take pictures of all areas of your home.

• List the Home: The realtor will take all the information gathered from the various forms you must go through, fill out, and sign and take the pictures from the photographer to list your home on the MLS. Now, your home is officially on the market
