Clarify your priorities

Write down your preferred timing, budget for preparation, and the work you are willing to manage. Decide whether you want broad market exposure, a sale by owner, or to compare a direct cash offer.

Collect property information

Gather ownership documents, mortgage statements, tax bills, repair records, permits you have, and any homeowners association information. Tell the professionals assisting you about known title questions or ownership changes early.

Evaluate condition honestly

Make a list of known repairs and concerns. Ask which improvements are worth considering for your selling route before paying for work. A sale in current condition does not eliminate applicable disclosure responsibilities.

Compare offers and costs

Look at price, funding, inspections, contingencies, closing costs, and possession terms. Ask for an estimate of proceeds after loan payoffs, liens, prorations, and agreed expenses. Agent compensation, if applicable, should be understood and negotiated in writing.

Plan closing and handover

Confirm who needs to sign, what escrow still needs, and when the home must be available. Coordinate keys, belongings, utilities, and your move around the agreed contract. Bay Cash Homes can begin the conversation with your address and property details.
