Let’s MOVE IN-MOVE UP. #MoveInMoveUp

📍 Step 1: Own Your Market Timing

Phoenix real estate moves fast—and if you're in the game between February and May, you're entering prime time. But here's the truth: the right time to sell is when you're ready. Chelsey delivers the data, the neighborhood trends, and the real talk about your home’s value and buyer demand right now. Every home has a buyer—and Chelsey will help you find yours.

💰 Step 2: Nail Your Price From Day One

Forget guesswork. Getting your list price right is everything. Chelsey’s approach blends sharp market data, local expertise, and insight into what buyers in your area are actuallypaying. You'll know exactly where your home stands in the competitive Phoenix market—and how to price it to win.

🧹 Step 3: Prep Like a Pro (With Chelsey’s Help)

Prepping your home isn't about making it perfect—it’s about making it shine for your ideal buyer.

Chelsey creates a personalized prep checklist based on your home’s condition, market trends, and buyer expectations. She’ll walk you through:

• Decluttering and depersonalizing
• Light repairs and touch-ups
• Smart upgrades that matter
• Exterior clean-up and curb appeal

Every home is different, and every plan is custom. No guesswork. Just real results.

📸 Step 4: Launch Your Home With Impact

Buyers shop with their eyes first. Chelsey brings your listing to life with wide-angle HD photography, compelling descriptions, and digital exposure that gets your home seen and remembered.

What’s included:

• Eye-catching photography
• MLS and real estate site syndication
• Social media buzz on all major platforms
• Custom feature page on chelseyhernandez.com

🏡 Step 5: Go Live and Make a Splash

When your home hits the market, it hits hard.

• Showings start right away with lockbox access for secure viewing
• Open house the first weekend (in most cases!) attracts curious neighbors and eager buyers
• Real-time updates from Chelsey so you’re never in the dark

This is your home's debut—let's make it unforgettable.

🤝 Step 6: Offers Roll In. Chelsey Negotiates Like a Boss

When buyers love your home, offers follow.

Chelsey dives into every offer with a sharp eye for:

• Price and terms
• Buyer financing and lender readiness
• Earnest money (usually 1%)
• Contingencies and closing flexibility

She knows how to spot serious buyers—and how to push for terms that work for you.

🔍 Step 7: Inspection Time—Here's What Happens

Once under contract, buyers complete inspections and submit a BINSR (Buyer’s Inspection Notice and Seller’s Response).

Chelsey guides you through:

• What to agree to
• What to push back on
• What to ignore

Agreed repairs must be done 3 days before close—and proof (photos or contractor notes) will seal the deal. No surprises, no stress.

🌟 Step 8: Appraisal and Lending—Know Your Leverage

If financing is involved, a lender-ordered appraisal is next. If it comes in low? You’ve got options:

• Renegotiate the price
• Let the buyer cover the difference
• Walk away if terms can’t be met

Chelsey's on it—every call, every update, every deadline.

📅 Step 9: Final Walkthrough & Signing Like a Pro

The buyer gets a final look before closing. Chelsey ensures everything’s in place:

• Repairs? ✅ Done
• House? ✅ Empty
• Utilities? ✅ Scheduled off

Sellers usually sign before the closing day. Chelsey handles all coordination so you don’t have to.

🏁 Step 10: Closing Day—You're Officially Sold

Here’s how it plays out in Arizona:

1. Buyer signs and wires funds
2. Title receives the money
3. County records the sale
4. You're officially closed 🔑

Keys are left inside, buyer’s agent releases them from the lockbox, and you’re onto your next chapter.
