The Home Selling Process

The most important thing you do when selling your home is choose a realtor that’s right for you. It is your agent’s job to get you the very best deal for your home and to walk with you step by step through the process. You can rely on Taylor Real Estate Group, Inc. to offer the very best real estate agents in the Houston area.

Your Real Estate Agent should be:

  • Knowledgeable about the state and local regulations regarding your transaction
  • Excellent at communication and negotiation
  • Resourceful and productive, always having a positive attitude
  • A trained professional with up-to-date supplemental certifications, so you know you are in good hands.

Once you have selected a realtor that is right for you, the two of you can begin talking about a marketing strategy. Take your agent on a tour of your home and listen to the tips she has to offer.

You and you agent will also need to discuss when to put your home on the market and consider current market trends to decide what price to list your home.

You will be contacted when someone makes an offer to buy your home. You and your agent will then review the terms and decide what is in your best interest. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that you have someone negotiating for you on your behalf.

Your real estate agent will guide you through this process:

  • Review the contract with you and explain any obligations
  • Explain contingencies, if there are any
  • Answer any questions you might have
  • Organize other “back-up” offers as necessary
  • Maintain professional objectivity, allowing you to make the final decision.

After an offer is accepted, your real estate agent will manage the remaining details, making the rest of the process as efficient and stress-free as possible. If there are any complications, your agent will notify you immediately

Once both parties have signed the contract, the lender will release the funds. You will, of course, receive copies of all legal documentation
