How to Sell in 3 Steps

While it's not rocket science, selling a home comes with a lot of moving parts. Aloha My Home organizes the process into three simple phases so you can see what to prepare, what to review, and what still needs to be completed before closing.

Create your listing, add property details, upload photos, set showing availability, and prepare your seller tasks.

What We'll Do

  • Claim property

  • Prepare property for sale

  • Publish listing

  • Set showings

THE OFFER

Step 2

Review buyer offers, compare terms, negotiate if needed, and sign when both sides agree.

  • Review terms

  • Accept, reject, or counter offers

after offer acceptance

Step 3

Monitor deadlines, respond to requests, complete seller tasks, coordinate settlement, and transfer possession.

What We'll Do

  • Track contingencies

  • Handle disclosures

  • Coordinate closing

  • Transfer possession

Step 1: Before the offer

Prepare your property and list

Before a buyer submits an offer, we'll guide you through preparing your property for sale, connect you with with contractors, help you create your listing, coordinate showing requests, and provide the information buyers need to evaluate the home.

Step 1 Checklist

  • Claim your property

  • Schedule contractors to conduct repairs, deep clean, stage, and take photos in order to prepare the property for sale

  • Upload quality photos

  • Write the property description

  • Research your market and decide on your list price

  • Complete seller disclosures

  • List the property for sale

  • Market the property

  • Manage showing requests

You’re ready to move on when…

You’re ready for the offer step when your property is listed, your showing availability is set, required listing information and disclosures are complete, and a buyer submits an offer.

Step 2: the offer

Review, negotiate, and sign an offer

When a buyer submits an offer, you'll review the terms, negotiate if needed, and sign electronically once both sides agree. While you're reviewing offers, consider that the offer with the highest sales price is not always the best offer. Contingencies, financing, closing timeline, settlement date, and possession terms can all affect the quality of an offer under your particular circumstances.

NOTE: Real estate offers become legally binding once signed by both parties and can even be legally binding prior to signature. Review the terms carefully before and during signing, including price, contingencies, timelines, settlement, and possession.

Step 2 Checklist

  • Review common contract terms and conditions

  • Review buyer offers or counteroffers

  • Negotiate terms

  • Sign electronically when ready

Offer Details to Review

  • Sales price

  • Earnest money deposit

  • Closing cost assistance

  • Contingencies

  • Property disclosures

  • Timelines

  • Title and title insurance

  • Settlement and Possession dates

Step 3: After offer agreement

Track seller tasks through settlement and possession

After accepting an offer, your workload will likely be lighter than the buyer’s, but you'll need to ensure contingencies are satisfied, disclosures are completed, and any request for repairs or credits for repairs are responded to in a timely manner.

Step 3 Checklist

  • Confirm the buyer’s earnest money deposit is submitted

  • Monitor contingency deadlines

  • Respond to inspection or repair requests if applicable

  • Work through title requirements, including transferring a clear title

  • Cancel or transfer utilities and services

  • Review closing disclosure when applicable

  • Coordinate settlement

  • Transfer possession according to the contract

You’re done when…

You’re done when settlement is complete, required documents are signed, possession is transferred according to the contract, and your final seller tasks are complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything I need to do to schedule a showing?

For safety purposes, you'll need to verify your identity through ID.me on our website.

Is there anything I need to do before making an offer?

Buyers should either have a pre-qualification letter, a pre-approval letter, or have Proof of Funds (when paying with cash) to demonstrate financial means to sellers before making an offer.

What happens after I submit an offer?

The seller can review the offer, respond, accept, reject, or counter until the expiration date. Once both sides agree on the terms and conditions, each party will be sent a contract for signature, at which point the transaction will move into Step 3: After Offer Acceptance.
