Seller’s Guide Questions
Can I sell my home without an agent?
Yes. Cribbed provides professional marketing, a structured selling platform and the tools needed to communicate directly with buyers from listing through closing. You remain in control of the decisions.
What should I do before listing my home?
Declutter, complete necessary repairs, prepare the home for photography, gather property information, complete the required disclosures and determine a competitive price. The Preparing Your Home for Sale guide walks through each step.
How should I prepare for showings?
Secure valuables, medications, keys, personal documents and other sensitive information. Turn on the lights, adjust the temperature, remove pets when possible and make the home easy to move through. Give buyers room to look around and discuss the home privately.
What happens after I accept an offer?
After the contract is signed, the buyer typically completes inspections and financing steps while the attorney, title company or settlement company coordinates the documents, title work, closing costs and local requirements needed for closing.
