This is a meeting between you, the homeowner, and us, your realtors, to review the process of selling your home. We'll talk about the current real estate market, tour your home, assess its unique features and condition, and recommend pricing and marketing strategies. It's a great opportunity for you to get to know us and feel confident in choosing the right team to guide you through the process of selling your home.
During this analysis, we will perform a comparative market analysis (CMA) to examine similar homes that have recently sold in Basking Ridge, as well as current homes that are active on the market. This information, along with market trends, will be used to determine the most accurate and competitive price for your home. As your realtors, our goal is to set a price that maximizes your return on investment while attracting a pool of potential buyers.
We will recommend necessary updates or repairs to enhance your home’s overall appeal to potential buyers. Decluttering helps to create a spacious and organized feel, while a fresh coat of paint and a deep clean can make a home feel new and appealing. The goal is to improve the overall look and feel of your home and make it more attractive to buyers. Each home is unique and will require specific recommendations – from replacing carpeting to re-caulking a bathroom – we will guide you in the right direction to ensure any updates or repairs add value to your home.
Photos are your home’s first impression online and are what entice people to schedule a visit or dismiss a listing. Clear, bright, well-composed & high-quality photographs will highlight your home's best features and create a positive first impression.
Staging is also a key component of creating great real estate photos. We will help you with decluttering and arranging furniture to maximize the space and the flow of each room while highlighting the best features. Good lighting, editing, and attention to detail are important factors that contribute to creating great real estate photos that will make a lasting impression on potential buyers.

Coming Soon - First your home will show as ‘Coming Soon’ online. This is a great way to get your home in front of buyers online in anticipation for the first weekend of showings.
Active - Next your home is shown to potential buyers as 'Active'. This is when the public is able to request showings at your home.
We offer both private showings and open houses to give prospective buyers the opportunity to tour your home and imagine themselves living there. Making this easy for you is our top priority, so we’ll work with you to schedule convenient times for showings and maximize attendance at open houses.
Typically in Basking Ridge, we hold an open house the first Sunday that your home is on market. If you do not want to hold an open house at your home, no problem! We will schedule private individual showings.
Potential buyers will submit offers using a buyer’s agent. Together, we will evaluate offers based on price, contingencies, closing date, inspection dates (& more). We’ll accept and sign the strongest offer.
When buying or selling a home in Basking Ridge or surrounding areas, you’ll choose a real estate attorney to work with. Your attorney will review the contract of home sale on your behalf. This takes 3-5 business days on average.
This phase of selling your home involves inspections, appraisals, negotiations, due diligence, buyers secure their financing and the closing date will be scheduled. You will work closely with your realtor and attorney to ensure all documents are provided and signed, and that we are responsive to negotiations.
Buyers schedule and attend a professional full-house inspection at your home. If you have a pool, well, septic, etc. the buyer will likely have those additional systems inspected as well. An appraiser will also come to your home to evaluate it, if the buyer is using a mortgage.
If the home inspection yields repair requests, we will negotiate those during this time.
You will have signed all legal documents with your attorney. Buyer, with their attorney, will close the sale on their end. Funds and ownership will be transferred.
