Step 4 — Showings

Keep the home clean, well-lit, odor free, and leave during showings whenever possible. Secure valuables and medications before appointments.

Step 5 — Offers and Negotiations

Don't focus only on price. Compare financing strength, contingencies, requested concessions, inspection rights, possession dates, and overall likelihood of closing.

Step 6 — Inspections

Most buyers order a home inspection. Prepare for requests regarding repairs, credits, or specialist evaluations. Address known issues honestly through required disclosures.

Step 7 — Appraisal

If the buyer is financing, an appraisal is usually required. Low appraisals may lead to renegotiation, additional buyer funds, or other contract solutions.

Step 8 — Closing
