Resources for Sellers

No house is worth financial ruin, which is why it is more important than ever that you get a good deal when you buy your next home.  As fiduciaries, we have to do whatever our clients ask as long as it's legal, but here are some guidelines we advise our clients on to ensure they are not getting into a bad spot financially.

During the discovery call, we will get into why you want to sell, what your expectations are, and how current market conditions will affect the sale of your home.  During the initial conversation, we will look at the property, go over your financials, and look at comparable properties to gauge how much the home should be listed for. 

During the discovery call, we will identify things that need to be addressed before the home is listed for sale, which will be addressed during the pre-llisting period.  When the home is ready for market, our team of professional photographers will come in to photograph the property, a for-sale sign will be placed in the yard, and the property details will be verified before going live on the listing service.

Once everything has been verified, the property will be listed officially for sale, meaning it will go live on the listing service (MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc...). During this time, the property may be sown by perspective buyers, and several open houses will be held.

Once someone decides to make an offer on the house, we will field all offers and discuss your options.  In Clarksville, properties typically go under contract within 60 days, and in Nashville, within 45 days.  Once a contract is agreed upon by all parties, the contingency period begins. 

During the escrow period, various inspections (as required) will be completed, reports will be made and sent to the lender, and any issues will be identified. How long this period lasts is negotiated during the offer period, and typically ranges from a week to 60 days.
