Step-by-Step Seller's Guide

Putting your home on the market can be a stressful process, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Fortunately, with the help of an experienced agent and this easy to follow guide, you can smoothly complete the process. Following these steps will help you prepare so you can get organized and sell your home for the best price possible.​​​​​​​

1. Understand Why You're Selling

Decide what you want to achieve with the sale — whether it’s making a profit, upgrading to a new home, or moving quickly. Share these goals with your REALTOR so they can guide pricing and strategy accordingly.

2.Determine Selling Price

Setting the right price attracts the most buyers and avoids losing value through overpricing or underpricing. An experienced agent will evaluate market conditions, comparable homes, and may suggest an appraisal.

3. Start Preparations

Prepare your home by decluttering, depersonalizing, repairing, and deep cleaning so buyers can envision themselves there. A well-presented home creates stronger impressions and can sell faster.

4. Develop a Marketing Strategy

We’ll design a marketing plan using listings, social media, referrals, traditional media, and SEO ads. The goal is to drive maximum traffic to your listing, especially in the first three weeks.

5. Evaluate Offers

Each offer will be reviewed for pre-approval, financial strength, and terms that work for you. If needed, we’ll negotiate with counter-offers, closing cost adjustments, or move-in flexibility.

6.Accept an Offer

Once an offer is acceptable, we’ll confirm the contract covers deposits, financing, inspections, contingencies, and fees. After both sides agree, a final contract is prepared.

7. Get Ready to Close

Before closing, we’ll handle inspections, appraisals, repairs, and other requirements while ensuring responsibilities are properly assigned. You’ll also arrange your move so the buyer can take possession.

8.Close

At closing, ownership officially transfers, and final documents are signed. We’ll help wrap up remaining details like utilities, services, and handing over appliance instructions.

The Next Chapter Begins

Congratulations!

Once you have sold your home, you’re free to take the next step on your journey. Whether this is relocating to a new city, moving into a larger home, or downsizing and enjoying your life as empty-nesters, knowing all your selling responsibilities have been taken care of will help you achieve peace of mind for your new path.

"(Google I need to add a 6th gold star to my review please!) I cannot recommend Liz Richards enough when it comes to real estate expertise and strategy in Denver.

"Liz was exceptional from the very first showing; she was friendly, approachable and present. She picked up on my nuances and proactively steered me towards finding my perfect home. As a first-timer, I’m grateful she made this process as seamless and stress-free as possible…and honestly, quite fun! I look forward to working with you again, Liz!"
Adda Baranowski
"Selling my property with Liz Richards was an absolute breeze! As an out-of-state seller, I needed someone I could trust to handle every detail, and Liz exceeded all expectations. She guided me through a seamless off-market transaction as part of a 1031 Exchange, ensuring everything was handled efficiently from start to finish. Her proactive approach—including a pre-listing roof inspection and pre-… Read MoreRead Less

"Deviree worked with us to sell our Denver home in a very chaotic real estate market.

Throughout the process, she was available to us and connected us with her network of contractors. A particular highlight was addressing the inspection resolution items, which she handled with only h… Read MoreRead Less

"Deviree and her team are the perfect example of why it pays to work with the best. She did an amazing job selling our last home (over asking!) and then immediately helped us find our new home. Deviree is organized, quick to respond, and she *really* understand the greater Denver market. Her and her team knew how we should price, what we should bid, and where we should be looking at every step. I w… Read MoreRead Less

"We had a unique opportunity to make our dream move to the Denver area and were lucky to be recommended to Liz and the team for our home purchase needs. Liz and Melissa were flawless in communicating with us while we searched for a home remotely. Photos, videos, visits, advocating for our needs, they did it all without us being in state. They understood exactly what we were looking for and easily m… Read MoreRead Less

"I worked with Deviree over the past few years to purchase two (2) homes in Denver and had a wonderful, no pressure experience each time. Our search for the most recent home took about 6 months and we looked at over 40 properties. Deviree was extremely patient and never tried to pressure me into buying a property that wasn’t a good fit for me and my needs. Earlier this year, we eventually found a h… Read MoreRead Less
