Selling Process

Your Zip Code East Bay real estate agent will help you review your timeframe and create a plan to prepare your home for the market. We manage the listing prep process for our clients and offer vendors and guidance regarding green options as part of our ZCEB ECO listing process. Together, we will evaluate local comparable sales to determine your home’s list price.

 

Your home will be listed in the MLS and we’ll work together to choose the most appropriate additional advertising channels and methods, including print and online advertising, public open houses and private guided tours.

 

Your Zip Code East Bay agent will present all offers to you and negotiate to get you the best possible terms.

 

Once a final offer is accepted, buyer deposits their earnest money into an escrow account.

 

Buyer performs any additional inspections and then signs the disclosure package.

 

Lender reviews buyer’s files. An appraisal will be done to establish the value of the property.

 

The contract specifies a deadline to remove any and all contingencies. Once removed, the buyer’s earnest money is at risk if they decide to cancel the contract.

 

Buyer’s loan documents arrive at the title company. Buyers and sellers sign separately either on site or by mobile notary.

 

Once the buyer’s funds to close are received, the lender will send in their money. You are almost there!

 

Once all funds are in, the title company releases the grant deed for recording at the county, usually for the next day.

 

The grant deed is recorded and your home is sold! Seller’s proceeds are typically received on the same day for a wire transfer, or in a few days if a check is mailed.
