The Selling Process
Will's Proven Selling System
STEP 01
Discuss Your Goals & Plans
Before anything else, Will and his team take the time to understand what you need — your timeline, where you're headed next, and what a smooth transition looks like for you. Every plan starts with your goals.
STEP 02
Free Home Valuation
We provide a comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using real-time MLSPIN data to determine your home's optimal listing price and position it competitively in the current market.
STEP 03
Prepare Your Home
Our pre-listing checklist covers staging, repairs, and targeted improvements that maximize your sale price. We'll connect you with trusted contractors and stagers to get your home ready to impress.
STEP 04
Professional Marketing
Professional photography, targeted digital advertising, MLS listing, and syndication across Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and the REMAX global network — reaching buyers across 110 countries.
STEP 05
Coming Soon & Strategic Launch
When timing allows, our team runs a Coming Soon campaign to build early buyer interest before the listing goes live. We carefully select your launch date, coordinate open houses, and — when conditions are right — set an offer deadline to generate a focused, competitive offer process.
STEP 06
Weekly Updates & Communication
Our team sends you a weekly property report covering showings, buyer feedback, online views, and market activity. You're never left in the dark — clear, consistent communication is one of our biggest commitments to you.
STEP 07
Negotiate the Best Outcome
The best offer isn't always the highest price — it's the one that best matches your goals. Our team reviews every offer with you across price, contingencies, closing date, and terms, then negotiates to get you the outcome that matters most.
STEP 08
Pre-Closing Coordination
As closing approaches, our team coordinates all the required items to get you to the finish line — inspections, final readings, and any documentation needed by the buyer's side. We also stay in close contact with the buyer's lender to monitor the mortgage commitment and keep the timeline on track.
STEP 09
Close & Celebrate!
Your attorney handles the closing table — our team is there to ensure a smooth final walkthrough and hand over the keys. You've done it! Selling your home and moving on to the next chapter is a big deal, and it deserves to be celebrated.
Marketing Plan
Maximum Exposure for Your Home
Our comprehensive marketing strategy ensures your home reaches every qualified buyer — locally and globally. As part of REMAX, your listing is backed by a network spanning 110 countries. Throughout the process, you'll receive a weekly property report with showings, buyer feedback, and online activity so you're always in the loop.
