Seller's Timeline

Let's meet to discuss your plans and goals, trends in the current marketplace, and assess your property’s qualities and characteristics. As your Compass agent, I will analyze comparable property sales, assess the competition, work with you to determine pricing strategy,  ideal timing and outline a strategic plan to achieve the best possible result for you as a seller.

From applying a fresh coat of paint to rearranging furniture,  as your Compass agent, I will 

ensure that the property is visually ready for showing.  First impressions are crucial and should you need assistance in coordinating home repairs or updates, Compass Concierge can help. 

I will schedule a professional photo shoot, commission an illustrative floor plan, and prepare a listing description. At this time, you will also complete the Seller Disclosure documents that will be necessary for the transaction. 

We will discuss the variety of ways to bring your home to market.  Whether you choose our proven 3 phase marketing strategy or a more traditional approach, we will find the best option for your home and situation.  The listing is broadcast on Compass.com and sent across our 100+ partner sites for the duration of the selling process.

The Compass marketing team produces beautiful print collateral to strategically showcase your property. I will develop and execute an intelligent, effective paid marketing 

plan in relevant publications. Eye-catching property signs are produced and placed outside your property.

As your agent, I will continuously leverage professional contacts and the Compass Network Tool to find ideal buyer brokers. Open houses are hosted for both brokers and clients on 

an ongoing basis, should you choose this option.

I will conduct an assessment of the market response daily of your listing going  live. Feedback from agents and buyers is aggregated,  and the listing strategy revised if needed.

Once we receive an offer, I will contact you to review the terms of the offer and analyze the pros and cons. Together we will decide how to respond to the buyer in one of several ways: by accepting the offer, rejecting the offer, or making a counter offer. 

Once a contract has been agreed to and signed by  all parties, an escrow will  be opened and the buyer’s contingency period will begin. Timelines for the completion of buyer and seller responsibilities will be listed in the purchase contract and adhered to in the escrow. Your Compass agent will keep a close eye on the timelines and ensure that you are in compliance with your responsibilities, while also holding the buyer’s side to task to keep the process moving.

I  will monitor and coordinate all the details necessary to get you to the finish line. Once the buyer has performed their inspections, removed their contingencies, and the loan (if any) is ready to fund, your agent will arrange the final walk-through. At or near this time the escrow will close, payment will be made, and  the keys will be handed over  to the buyer.
