Sell the old, Buy the new: A 7 step guide to sell your current house and buy your new home using Listing Box (6 min read)
Selling your home is a tough decision and riddled with open ended questions and concerns. Until now, the best way to go about the process was to hire a professional, attempt to sell your home by yourself, or using an online “iBuyer” company. All of these options are either expensive, risky, or overly complicated.
Listing Box is the first company that allows you to buy or sell real estate from an app on your phone. We provide step by step instructions to take you from “I’m thinking about buying or selling” to “Sold” by using the Listing Box App. That's right, all you need to buy or sell your home is your phone. This post is designed to help smooth out the process for people hoping to sell their current home and buy a new one.
Confirm you want to move. Not only that you want to move but decide to sell. Saying goodbye to your current home and deciding to move into a new one can be draining. Make sure you and your family are emotionally ready to make the move. At the same time, picturing your new home can be incredibly exciting and moving usually means embarking on a new chapter in your life. Listing Box is here to help make the process as smooth as possible.
Establish how much your property is worth and how much money you will walk away with from your sale. In the Listing Box App, you can price your property using our pricing algorithm and compare your property to recent sales within your area. Listing Box will also have a real person double check all pricing figures. Plus, Listing Box provides you with real-time net proceeds calculator to help establish how much money (equity) you have in your home based on your homes value. Visit the app to use our Pricing Tool & the Net Proceeds Calculator today.
List your property for sale. (Quick Tip: Steps 3 & 4 should happen simultaneously) Once you have established the asking price for your property on the Listing Box App, you’ll be asked a few Yes/No questions before signing your Listing Box Agreement. Once your agreement is signed your Listing Box will be delivered usually within 24hrs. Inside your Listing Box is instructions and tools to activate your listing. The Listing Box Staff of real estate professionals is here to help every step of the way. Contact us with any issues using your preferred form of communication.
Get pre-approved for the mortgage on your next home and start searching for homes on the Listing Box App. It’s time to go over financing options for your next home. The Listing Box App features a pre-approval tool where, with basic information, the Listing Box Staff will connect you with a local mortgage lender. Listing Box will only connect you with the highest quality of mortgage professionals. We do not make any incentives for these referrals. It’s our mission to simplify the real estate transaction process, we do not profit on your information. Listing Box will also work with any lender you may already be using and you can upload a copy of your pre-approval letter. Choosing a mortgage lender is 100% your choice.
Conduct showings on your home, review and accept an offer After listing, you’ll begin to receive showing requests to show your listing. These showings come from pre-qualified buyers accompanied by their agents or a Listing Box Staff member. The Listing Box Staff will help you review all offers that come in, as they come in. Once an offer is accepted, Listing Box will create a “Transaction Timeline” and help you move through the escrow process.
See potential new homes & write competitive offers During the listing and transaction of your listing, Listing Box will help you see, write competitive offers on, and purchase your next home.
