Selling your home is an exciting step, but it can also feel overwhelming without knowing what to expect. Here’s a simple, straightforward timeline to guide you through the process—from signing the paperwork to closing day.
1. Preparing to List (5-7 Days)
Once you sign the paperwork, it’s time to prepare your home for the market. This includes professional photos, floor plans, and getting everything ready for listing. This phase typically takes 5-7 days, ensuring your home is showcased in the best light.
2. Getting an Offer (14-21 Days)
Once your home is listed, expect offers to start rolling in within 2-3 weeks. During this time, your real estate agent will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best price. This phase typically lasts between 14-21 days.
3. Closing the Deal (30 Days)
Once you’ve accepted an offer, it’s time for the buyer to secure financing and finalize the details. Closing typically takes 30 days, but this can vary depending on the buyer’s loan process.
4. Stay a Little Longer (Up to 30 Days)
In Michigan, after the sale is closed, you’re allowed to stay in the home for up to 30 days. This gives you extra time to move out and clean up before you transition to your next chapter.
Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right timeline and a trusted real estate agent, the process can be smooth and efficient. Ready to get started? Let’s chat today and get your home sold faster than you imagined!
