The Listing Process: Step by Step
When you choose to work with Kelly Wirt Realty Group, here’s what you can expect from start to finish:

• Kelly will schedule a time to meet with you at your home to walk through the property, discuss its features, and gather key details.
• During this visit, she will evaluate the home and provide staging suggestions to prepare the home to go to market.
• After the visit, she will review current market data to determine a strategic and competitive price, once pricing and strategy are established, you will sign the necessary documents to officially begin the listing process.
• Our office administrator, Amy Royal, will coordinate scheduling for professional photography, video, and property measurements.
• A lockbox will be placed on your home to allow secure access for licensed agents to show the property through our showing service. 
• All listing details, photos, and property information will be entered into two Multiple Listing Services (MLS), covering both the Triad and Triangle markets. 
• Once everything is finalized and approved, your listing will go live and a Kelly Wirt Realty Group sign will be placed in your yard. 
• Agents will begin scheduling showings through a system called ShowingTime. 
• You will have full control to approve or decline showing requests through notifications sent directly to your phone, email, or both.

From there, it’s time to prepare for showings and get your home sold. We’ll guide you every step of the way so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.
