When it comes to selling your house whether in the Manchester NH area or anywhere, the one thing Sellers are demanding these days is Service. If you are looking to SELL YOUR PROPERTY there are some steps you can take in order to make your selling proicess easier. As a Leading Agent here in the New Hampshire area, I strive to make the Selling process a wonderful experience for my clients by working with them through ALL steps of the Selling process.

The 5th STEP in the SELLING PROCESS is CLOSING YOUR SALE. Now that you have chosen the BEST agent in the area, you have priced your home correctly and you now have accepted an OFFER, it is time to get ready to close the Sale. This period is the most important that your agent guides you through this time period.

a. BUYERS MORTGAGE: It is important for your agent to stay on top of the buyers mortgage. Watch the dates for the buyer to get committment. Without a mortgage there can be no sale.


b. CONTINGINCIES: Make sure all contingincies have been met by both the buyer and you as the seller. If the buyer asked for or if their bank asked for any lender required repairs that you approved to do, make sure they are done properly and all contingincies are released in writing.


c. THE HUD also known as the settlement statement will contain what you are responsible for paying abnd what you will receive at closing. It is very important to receive this at least 1 day before closing in case there is any mistakes, they can be fixed easily. Review it carefully with your agent.

d. OCCUPANCY: In NH it is customary for the seller to be out of the home at closing as the buyer takes possession upon closing. There are cases where the sellers can stay which is negotiated and spelled out in writing during the offer negotiations.

e. WALK THROUGH: In NH it is customary for the buyer to walk through the house anywhere from 24 hours to right before the closing to make sure the seller is out, the home is free of personal property and is broom clean with all items that were included in the contract, still in the home and in working condition.

 

f. THE CLOSING TABLE: Different parts of the country handle their closing differently. Here in NH the buyer and the seller attend the closing on closing day. The buyer signs their mortgage and closing paperwork. The seller signs the deed and their closing paperwork. The buyers certified funds are received at this time. Most NH closing companies have GAP insurance and will deliver the seller their funds and the keys to the buyer at this time. The deed is then recorded. The Gap insurance makes sure no liens or claims to title are recorded from the time it is signed to the time the new deed is recorded. Whan MA lawyers close NH sales, they do not fund until the deed is recorded. It certainly hinders sellers who are signing on their new home right after their previous home sale closes.

At this point the home is the buyers.

In conclusion. As a FULL SERVICE agent I guide the seller through the process. Selling your home can be a wonderful process. Avoiding agents who do not work with you through each step of the selling process is a good start. Most home owners whose homes do not sell during the first 3 months of the listing term do not sell because of price or a lack of attention from your agent. By having a Local agent who works full time, offers full service and knows yoru market, you can get the advanatge of being properly priced, properly marketed and with me, in most cases sold quickly and the best obtainable price.
