Schedule showings at times that are convenient for you and ensure your home is clean and well-presented. For open houses, choose a date and time that works for most buyers, such as weekends. Be prepared to answer questions and  SBO will provide brochures/flyers with key information about your property for you to share.

When you receive an offer, review it carefully, considering not just the price but also contingencies and the buyer’s financing. Be prepared to negotiate by making counteroffers or adjusting terms. It may be helpful to consult with an RS attorney (SBO will suggest the best attorney) to ensure you’re making informed decisions.

While not always required, SBO wants to have the best experience selling your home, hiring a real estate attorney is highly recommended, especially when handling legal documents, reviewing contracts, and navigating closing procedures. An attorney can help ensure that the transaction is legally sound and that your interests are protected.

During closing, all final paperwork is signed, and the property’s ownership is officially transferred to the buyer. You’ll receive the sale proceeds, and the buyer will get the keys. Ensure that you have all necessary documents ready, and be prepared for any final negotiations or adjustments that may arise.

After closing, cancel or transfer utilities, notify the post office and other relevant entities of your address change, and settle any remaining bills related to the property. Make sure to keep all documentation from the sale for future reference.
