HOME SELLING PROCESS

Your Fenwick REALTOR will assist you in presenting your home for maximum visibility and will provide professional service to negotiate the best deal possible for you as the seller.

Information About Brokerage Services

  • Upon meeting with your REALTOR, you will be provided with one of these forms which will explain how the broker will represent you as the owner.

Listing

  • After you have discussed the Comparative Market Analysis provided by your REALTOR, you will review the Residential Real Estate Listing Agreement which will state the terms under which you may list your property for sale.
  • Your REALTOR will go over a detailed plan to market your home to its best advantage.
  • If repairs need to be made to your home or if staging needs to be done to prepare your home for sale, these items will be discussed.

Seller's Disclosure Notice

  • The Texas Property Code requires a seller of residential property to deliver a disclosure as to the condition of the property as it is known by the seller.
  • This disclosure will be provided to potential buyers of the property and will be signed by both the seller and future buyer of the property.

Internet Marketing

  • You will receive local and global web exposure of your home through our enhanced link with www.realtor.com where prospective buyers will see photos of your home along with satellite images of your area with schools, churches and shopping.
  • Your home will receive exposure through our exclusive Fenwick Realtors website as well as www.destinationdfw.com.
  • Additionally, your home's listing will appear on over 600 RELO National and Global Home Search websites. This will increase your exposure to relocating buyers through our affiliation with The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.

Residential Contract of Sale

  • Once a contract of sale has been signed and accepted by all parties, the buyer at the buyer's expense will typically hire a licensed inspector to inspect the property.
  • This inspection is usually completed within 10 days of the date of the executed contract and further negotiations may take place after the inspections are completed.
  • A mortgage contingency is often in place for a few weeks until the buyer has been able to secure a mortgage commitment.

Closing

  • After the buyer has obtained his mortgage commitment and all contingencies have been removed from the contract, the closing documentation is prepared by the title company and a closing date and time is set.
