Selling Your Home

Ready to Sale
Selling a home involves several key steps. First, prepare your home for sale by cleaning, decluttering, and making necessary repairs. Next, set a competitive price by researching the local market or consulting a real estate agent. Once your home is listed, be ready for showings and open houses, and negotiate offers until you reach an agreement. Finally, complete the closing process, which includes signing paperwork and transferring ownership to the buyer.
