Stages of Listing House For Sale
There are multiple stages of Selling a House. Each one very important and necessary to make sure the sale is smooth and successful for all parties involved.
a. Market Research - This includes determining current real estate market trends in the community, the market value of the house, and what buyers want.
b. Pre-listing Activities - Prep house for sale. We provide our clients with ideas to make house more appealing to today's buyers, as well as suggest which repairs to fix and which, if any, to leave for new owner to take care of.
c. Market House For Sale - Appropriate and specific advertising methods based on the subject properties features and location. This includes entrance into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) database. (The MLS is the largest database of Listings and Buyers who are currently working with a Real Estate Agent to help them find a house to purchase. These listings are shared from the MLS with "3rd party" real estate websites including: Redfin.com, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Zillow.com and Trulia.com.)
d. Buyer Seller Negotiations - Negotiate the contract purchase price, the terms, and the timeframes within the purchase contract.
e. Buyer Inspection Period - A Buyer's specific timeframe to have the house completely inspected to their satisfaction. (The state of Florida regulates what a Seller must do with regard to significant home defects.)
f. Buyer Due Diligence Period - Buyer should secure title insurance and confirm the title to the house is clear with no encumbrances. Buyer will also need to confirm there are no illegal encroachments as well as locate the existence of any easements on the property.
g. Buyer Financing Period - If Buyer is getting a mortgage to purchase the house this is the timeframe the Buyer has to complete their due diligence with their lender, order an appraisal, and provide Seller with satisfactory loan approval documentation.
h. Seller Repairs - If repairs are necessary, and agreed upon by all Parties, the Seller will need to have the repairs made before the transaction closes, or parties can come to another arrangement.
i. Move Out - If not already done so, the Seller typically has all personal possessions, that are not conveying with the sale, removed from the premises. Typically, no later than 1 day prior to the closing date.
j. Final Walk Through - This is the time when the Buyer does a final inspection of the home to confirm it is to their satisfaction before closing. The Buyer will also confirm, if necessary, any and all repairs are completed. This can happen the day before or the morning of the Closing date.
k. Closing - This is the agreed upon date the Seller and Buyer will sign all necessary paperwork to transfer ownership of the property from the Seller to the Buyer. The Closing happens when all funds are accounted for and both parties have signed all documentation. The funds should then be dispersed accordingly.

ALEX MOREL, REALTOR®
Alex is a true Sarasota Native. Born at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and has lived in Englewood, North Port, Venice, Bradenton and Sarasota throughout his 40+ years in the area. Alex grew up in a family of home builders and contractors and was on residential job sites at a very early age learning all about building homes.
Prior to becoming a Realtor®, Alex worked for a small Mechanical Engineering firm in Sarasota for about a decade as an AutoCAD Draftsman, and then as a NICET Certified Engineering Technician designing fire suppression systems for high-rise condos, office buildings, restaurants, storage facilities, churches, large single-family homes, and other facilities.
Alex has been a licensed Realtor® since 2010, and started his Real Estate career with Wagner Realty, one of the largest independent Brokers in Sarasota and Manatee counties. After 8 years with that firm he moved over to a local RE/MAX office, which was the highest producing RE/MAX office in Florida. After 4 years with RE/MAX Alex decided to hang his license with Realty Hub, a smaller real estate broker that gives him more flexibility within his business to operate in a less "corporate" manner.
Alex is a member of the local Sarasota board, Realtor® Association of Sarasota and Manatee. He is also a member of Florida Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors®. During his membership at RASM, he was previously chosen to sit on the Grievance Committee for Professional Standards and on the Community Outreach Committee.
Alex mainly works in Residential Real Estate guiding Buyers and Sellers through the complexities of the real estate market within the tri-county Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte County areas, handling new and existing construction single-family homes, condos, villas, townhomes, duplexes, quadruplexes, mobile/manufactured homes and vacant land. Current sales volume exceeds $25 million to date.
