The Home Selling Process

Selling your home should be an exciting experience — not a stressful one. We believe every great transaction starts with a great relationship, and we're committed to making yours exceptional.

Step by Step

Your Complete Selling Roadmap

From pricing your home correctly to closing the deal — Cigar City Realty manages every detail so you can focus on your next chapter.

1
Step One

Listing Consultation & Pricing Strategy

We start by understanding your goals, timeline, and needs. Then we run a detailed Comparative Market Analysis to establish the right listing price — one that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

  • In-depth home walkthrough and assessment
  • CMA analysis of comparable recent sales
  • Strategic pricing discussion aligned with your timeline
  • Sign the listing agreement and get to work

Step Two

Staging, Photos & Video Tour

First impressions are everything. We coordinate professional photography, video walk-throughs, and staging guidance to make your home stand out online and in person.

  • Professional photo and video shoot coordination
  • Staging consultation to maximize appeal
  • Virtual tour setup for out-of-town buyers
💡 Homes with professional photos sell 32% faster and for up to 11% more, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Step Three

Pre-Listing Campaign & MLS Launch

Before your home even hits the MLS, we start building buzz. Once live, we push it across all major platforms to maximize visibility from day one.

  • Pre-listing social media campaign
  • MLS listing goes live with optimized description
  • "Just Listed" campaign across social and email
  • Syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, and more

Step Four

Showings, Open Houses & Offer Management

We handle all scheduling and follow-up so your life is disrupted as little as possible. When offers come in, we present each one clearly and help you evaluate the best path forward.

  • Flexible showing schedule around your life
  • Open house coordination and marketing
  • All offers presented and explained in full
  • Expert negotiation on your behalf

Step Five

Under Contract — Inspections & Appraisal

Once you're under contract, we guide you through the inspection and appraisal process — negotiating any repair requests to protect your bottom line.

  • Buyer inspection coordination and review
  • Negotiate repairs or credits strategically
  • Appraisal oversight to confirm home value
  • Regular communication — you're always in the loop

Step Six

Title Search, Final Walkthrough & Close!

The final stretch. We coordinate the title search, review closing docs, and walk you through everything so your closing day is smooth and celebration-worthy.

  • Title search and municipal lien search
  • Review closing disclosure and ALTA statement
