Thinking about selling your property but not sure where to start? At Century 21 ICON, we’re here to simplify the process and walk you through each step with confidence. Whether you’ve sold a home before and need a refresher or if this is your first time, this guide will help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.

 

To begin you’ll need to choose Your Agent & prepare necessary documents. For the first step, you should research and interview licensed, experienced local real estate agents. If you click here, you will find a list of all the agents at Century 21 Icon who can assist you. Once you have selected your agent you can discuss a competitive and strategic listing price. Then, gather all essential documents:

  • Original purchase agreement or contract
  • Property deed
  • Mortgage payoff statement
  • Property survey
  • Title report
  • HOA documents (if applicable)

 

The next steps focus on marketing your property to attract potential buyers. Professional photos and videos will be taken to showcase your home online and across major real estate platforms. You’ll also prepare both the interior and exterior to make a strong impression during open houses and showings. Once everything is ready, your listing will go live and signage will be placed on the property to maximize visibility.

Now that your property is listed, it's important to schedule and stay on top of showings to keep interest high. As offers come in, work with your agent to review and verify each one carefully. Once all offers are considered, you’ll select the strongest offer and move forward. After accepting an offer, a home inspection will take place, and your attorney will begin preparing the necessary contracts. Meanwhile, the buyer will start the loan process, and a closing date will be set to finalize the sale.

 

You're just a few steps away from closing! Before the big day, a final walkthrough will be completed to ensure everything is in order. Then, all the necessary documents will be signed, and the keys will be handed over to the new owner. Congratulations, your home is officially sold!
