Home Selling Timeline
Home Selling Timeline
Here’s a general breakdown of the selling process in Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino Counties:
1. Initial Consultation (Week 1)
We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and pricing strategy. I’ll review your home’s condition and recommend any pre-listing improvements.
2. Pre-Listing Prep (Week 2–3)
Repairs, staging, photography, and marketing materials are prepared. I’ll begin pre-marketing to my network and local buyers.
3. Listing Goes Live (Week 3–4)
Your home is listed on the MLS and promoted across top platforms. We schedule showings, host open houses, and gather feedback from buyers.
4. Offers & Negotiation (Week 4–6)
I’ll present all offers, negotiate on your behalf, and help you choose the best one — not just the highest price, but best terms too.
5. Escrow & Inspections (30–45 Days)
Once in contract, the buyer will schedule inspections and finalize financing. I’ll help you navigate any requests for repairs or credits.
6. Closing (Day 30–45)
After final walkthroughs and paperwork, escrow closes, funds are transferred, and the property changes hands.
