A Step-by-Step Seller's Guide

Selling Your Home: A Meaningful Milestone
Selling your home is a major life step—and we’re here to guide you through every part of the process. From preparing your home for sale to navigating offers and closing the deal, each step can be straightforward and rewarding with the right support.This seller’s guide outlines what to expect during the home selling process, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence and achieve the results that matter most to you in today’s real estate market.

Step 1: Understand Why You're Selling

What’s Driving Your Decision to Sell Your Home?
Every seller has a unique reason for listing their home for sale—whether it’s unlocking equity for your next chapter, relocating to a new area, or finding a property that better suits your lifestyle. Understanding your goals early on helps us create a customized real estate strategy that supports what matters most to you.

Whether your priority is timing, maximizing profit, or making a smooth transition, we’ll align our approach to match your bigger picture. When you work with us to sell your home in Midcoast Maine, you're not just entering the market—you’re making a confident, informed move toward what’s next.

Step 2: Determine Selling Price

How to Price Your Home for Today’s Market
Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important steps in the selling process. A strategic listing price helps generate interest from both real estate agents and serious buyers, leading to stronger offers and a faster sale.

Overpricing can cause your home to sit on the market, while underpricing may leave money on the table. We’ll help you determine your home’s market value by reviewing comparable sales, current buyer demand, and local real estate trends. In some cases, we may also recommend a pre-listing appraisal to support your pricing strategy.

The goal? To price your home confidently and competitively—so it stands out in the current market and attracts the right buyer from the start.

Step 3: Start Preparations

Create a Lasting First Impression
Buyers often know within minutes—or even as they pull into the driveway—whether a home feels right. That’s why we encourage our seller clients to put extra care into preparing their space. It’s not just about cleaning and decluttering—it’s about creating an environment that feels open, welcoming, and easy to imagine as “home.”

We’ll help you identify opportunities to make your property shine, from boosting curb appeal to rearranging furniture or updating lighting. With a bit of extra effort, your home will stand out in a competitive real estate market—and make a lasting impression from the very first glance.

Step 4: Develop a Marketing Strategy

Putting Your Home in Front of the Right Buyers
We don’t just list your home—we launch it. Our custom marketing plans are built to create buzz from the moment your property goes live, using a mix of online exposure, social media ads, email outreach, and trusted agent connections.

Your listing will also be featured on our beautifully designed, search-optimized website—making it easy for motivated buyers, both local and out-of-state, to find and fall in love with your property. The goal is simple: maximum traffic, strong early momentum, and serious interest that leads to the right offer.

Step 5: Evaluate Offers

Getting an offer is exciting, but it’s not the finish line—it’s the beginning of the negotiation. We’ll review each offer with a sharp eye, confirming that the buyer is financially qualified and that the terms are in your favor. Our goal is to get you the strongest offer possible—not just in price, but in structure, timing, and certainty. With years of experience negotiating in Midcoast Maine, we know how to position your home and respond strategically to ensure you walk away with the best outcome.

Step 6: Accept an Offer

Once you’re comfortable with the offer, we’ll walk through the contract together to ensure every detail is in place. That includes the earnest money deposit, financing terms, inspection contingencies, settlement timeline, and who’s responsible for which costs. In Maine, once both parties sign, the property goes under contract—so it’s important to get everything right from the start. We’ll make sure the agreement protects your interests and sets the stage for a smooth path to closing.

Step 7: Get Ready to Close

You’re under contract—just steps away from closing. But before the deal is done, there are a few final pieces to manage.

Depending on the terms of your contract, the buyer may have a due diligence period where inspections are conducted and additional negotiations may come up—such as requests for repairs or a price adjustment. Not all contracts include a financing contingency or due diligence period, but if yours does, we’ll guide you through every detail with a steady hand.

We’ll also help coordinate any appraisals, surveys, or agreed-upon repairs, ensuring all items are handled by the appropriate party and that everything stays on track for closing. A few days before the scheduled closing, we’ll confirm with the title company that all paperwork is in order and the transaction is ready to move forward.

Before the final walkthrough—usually held within 24 hours of closing—you’ll want to be sure the home is completely empty, cleaned, and free of personal belongings. Now’s the time to plan your move, schedule utility shut-offs or transfers, and take care of any last to-dos to ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved.

Step 8: Close

Closing day in Maine is the real deal—the moment your home officially changes hands.

Ownership transfers on the day of closing, and it's usually an in-person gathering with buyers, sellers, their agents, and the title attorney all around the table. Documents are signed, funds are transferred, keys are handed over—and more often than not, there are hugs, high fives, and a few happy tears.

We’ll be right there with you to make sure everything goes smoothly. Leading up to the closing, we’ll double-check that any remaining to-dos are wrapped up—like utility shutoffs, forwarding mail, and making sure the buyer has any needed instructions for appliances or systems.

From start to finish, we’re with you every step of the way.

Congratulations!

It’s more than just handing over the keys. It’s the feeling of relief when everything has gone smoothly. It’s the excitement of starting your next chapter—whether that’s a new home, a new town, or simply a new way of living.

For our seller clients, it means knowing the details were handled, the home was represented beautifully, and the finish line was crossed with care and confidence.

We’re there for the high-fives, the hugs, and the deep breath that comes with a job well done.
