Inspections & Appraisals
Most buyers will have the property examined by a licensed property inspector.
Inspections & Appraisals
After your home goes under contract, the buyer will typically schedule a professional home inspection within the timeframe outlined in the purchase agreement. Depending on the property, the buyer may also choose to have specialized inspections for items such as the roof, plumbing, HVAC system, or other components.
If the buyer is financing the purchase, their lender will generally require a licensed appraiser to determine the property's market value. The appraisal helps confirm the home's value for the lender before the loan can move forward.
Title & Closing
A title company or real estate attorney will oversee the closing process and conduct a title search to help ensure the property can be transferred to the buyer. They coordinate the escrow process, verify that any title issues are resolved before closing, and prepare the necessary documents for the transfer of ownership.
Throughout this stage, Benoit Management will work closely with all parties involved to help keep the transaction on schedule and guide you through each step leading up to closing.

What else you should know...
Contingencies
Most real estate contracts include contingencies that must be satisfied before the sale can move forward. Common contingencies include the buyer obtaining financing, completing inspections, reviewing required disclosures, and verifying the property's condition.
During this period, the buyer may request repairs or other changes based on inspection findings. If that happens, Benoit Management will help you evaluate your options, negotiate effectively, and make informed decisions that align with your goals.
Financing & Appraisal
Buyers who are pre-approved by a lender are often in a stronger position to complete the purchase. If the buyer is financing the home, their lender will typically require a licensed appraisal to confirm the property's market value before approving the loan.
Throughout this stage, our team works closely with all parties to help keep the transaction on schedule and move your sale toward a successful closing.

Tips For Selling Your Home
With Benoit Management, you'll have a knowledgeable partner to guide you through every step of the selling process and help you achieve the best possible results.
Give Your House a Deep Clean
First impressions are everything. Before you decide to list your home, give it a deep clean. Clean toilets, wipe down surfaces, mop floors, clean rugs and scrub bathrooms - even consider calling in the professionals to ensure that your home is in the best condition it can possibly be.
Declutter The Home
When a home is clutter-free, buyers are able to focus on the actual home instead of on the piles of mail, laundry, and general mess in your home. Potential buyers want to envision their items on your counter versus resisting the urge to clean up your mess. Decluttering & organizing will go a long way in appealing to potential buyers.
Call a Handyman
When selling a house, you should make sure everything that needs to be fixed has been taken care of before listing a home. Potential buyers will come into your home knowing you took care of it, giving them more peace of mind.
Paint the Walls
Not only is painting a great way to clean up the walls but making the overall color scheme neutral will increase the appeal to potential buyers, making it easier for them to envision their belongings in the house - get rid of any bright, outdated paint colors and go with a neutral palette throughout the house.
Increase Your Curb Appeal
The outside aesthetic of your home is just important as the inside. Give buyers a good feeling before they even open the front door. Landscaping, mulching, flowers, pressure washing the driveway and exterior of the home are all simple ways to increase the value of your home.
Stage Your Home
Staged homes tend to fill quickly because they feel homier - if you have neutral furniture that you can leave in the home, do it, otherwise consider a professional staging company.
Depersonalize Your Home
You want to leave a few nice, framed photos around the house to make the home appear inviting and lived in, but in general, removing your very personal items, such as family photos will let the potential buyers see their photos in those places, versus yours.
