Asheville Real Estate: 10 Steps
to Selling Your House Step 10: Post-Closing
Congratulations
on the successful sale of your home. Hopefully, everything went
smoothly and you will be vacating your house in the time frame that
you had anticipated. You should make a list of all the items you will
need to do to turn the property over to the new owners.
After the closing,
you should make a “to do” list for turning the property over to the
new owners. You will need
to do such things as make sure that all of the local services (i.e.
electricity, gas, lawn care, cable, etc.) have been canceled or, if
the new owner is going to retain some of the services, the name for
the account should be changed. The property and anything assigned to
the buyer according to the contract, should be prepared appropriately
for the new owners.
Here is a checklist to get you
started.
- Cancel electricity, gas, lawn care, cable and other
routine services.
- If the new owner is retaining any of the services,
change the name on the account.
- Gather owner’s manuals and warranties for all
conveying appliances.
I will save you
time and money by helping you coordinate your move. I can help you
develop checklists that you can use to make sure that everything is
done so that your move goes as smoothly as possible!
So,
after the review of these 10 Steps to Selling You House, I hope you can see that having the right real estate
professional by your side can greatly improve your home-buying experience. A
good rule of thumb is to interview a minimum of three candidates. Here are
10 questions to ask during an interview:
- Are you a full-time professional REALTOR®? How long have you worked
full time in real estate?
- What geographic areas do you specialize in?
- Do you have a Website? What information can I find there?
- How will you keep me informed during my home search and throughout
the transaction?
- Do you have a staff or a team? If so, what roles will they play in
my transaction?
- Will you show me properties from other companies’ listings?
(Some real estate companies do offer their buyers’ agents a higher
commission if they are able to sell “in-house” listings. In those
instances, there can be added incentive to limit the range of homes you
are shown. This may affect your home search and how much your agent’s
fee will be.)
- Will you represent me exclusively, or will you also represent the
seller? May I have that in writing?
- How will you get paid? How are your fees structured? May I have that
in writing?
- What distinguishes you from other real estate agents? What is your
negotiating style?
- May I contact some of your recent clients as references?
