selling your home
Congratulations on deciding to sell your home! Selling your home may sound like a daunting, never ending task - but it doesn't have to be. There are right and wrong ways to sell a home - but determining what is the right way takes years of experience. The Kelly Group understands what it takes to correctly market a property to maximize the sell price in a timely manner. So, choose us to represent the sale of your property to help sell your home the right way!
Step
01
Choose
Your Agent
Find an Expert Real Estate Agent or team
It's not simple to sell a home. It's a high-stakes, complex deal that will take a lot of time and experience to complete successfully. Work with an experienced, top-rated real estate agent in your neighborhood to maximize the sale price.
The best listing agents understand what local buyers want and how to contact them. They'll provide experienced advice, assistance, and support throughout the process, from listing to the final closing.
Did you know that sellers who deal with real estate agents, on average, earn 33% more than those who list on their own?
Work with The Kelly Group and see the benefits of working with a team that is experienced.

Deciding
when to sell
Timing is crucial when it comes to selling a home. Waiting just one month to list your home might result in tens of thousands of dollars extra.
When properties are listed in April, May, or June, they spend the fewest days on the market. Homes listed in each of these months stayed on the market for an average of 28 days. Keep in mind that the number of days on the market does not include the time it takes to close.
Once you accept an offer, you should expect to wait another 30-40 days to close. If you want to obtain the most money for your home, traditionally March and April are the best months - but that can depend on the year and what is happening with the economy.
Step
03
pricing
your home
Data is required to support your price selections. The Kelly Group can help you optimize your earning potential through a comparative market analysis (CMA). We have detailed information on previous and upcoming transactions, as well as comparable homes in your neighborhood.
We will then discuss your goals, whether to price to sell quickly or sell for the maximum amount possible. From there, we will determine the optimal listing price.
Step
04
Prepare
your home
Preparing your home to make it market ready may seem like an impossible feat, but The Kelly Group will help walk you through the entire process with ease.
Starting with an 'agent walkthrough,' your home is inspected to see if any necessary improvements are required.
From there, we will arrange a presale inspection with a qualified inspector.
If applicable, recommendations for contractors and other vendors to do any necessary improvements will be provided
And finally, we assure there are no liens against the home by doing a title search.
Other preparations that may be applicable:
- Remove clutter and organize
- Clean and make repairs
- Home staging
- A home protection plan
- Listing documents and disclosures
- A Transaction Manager account to manage documents, deadlines and tasks
