Sell with a plan, not a guess.
Gabriela Corazo | Opus Elite Real Estate

The best sale strategy connects your priorities to the market in front of you. Keep a clear view of your timing, likely expenses, and the tradeoffs in each offer.

Choose a pricing strategy
Ask Gabriela to explain the most relevant comparable sales and competing homes. An automated estimate is a starting question, not a complete pricing analysis.
- Discuss differences in condition, location, layout, and sale timing.
- Consider expected proceeds after loan payoff and estimated transaction expenses.
- Agree on when to review showing activity and market feedback.

Keep showings useful
Buyers need access and room to consider the home. Make showing instructions clear and keep your presentation consistent.
- Give your agent accurate availability and any access constraints.
- Use a short cleanup routine before each appointment.
- Review patterns in feedback instead of reacting to every individual comment.

Compare offers as a whole
The highest headline price may come with different timing or conditions. Review the terms and likely net proceeds with your agent.
- Compare financing, deposit, contingencies, proposed dates, and requested credits.
- Clarify repair agreements and included items in writing.
- Keep the property maintained and communicate changes before closing.

DO
- Discuss a backup plan if your next home is not ready.
- Keep a written record of agreed changes.
- Ask your settlement team for an updated proceeds estimate.

DON’T
- Price solely around what you want to buy next.
- Remove included fixtures without a written agreement.
- Assume an accepted offer means every condition is already satisfied.
