How Our Real Estate Team Handles Your Move from Start to Finish

by Tracy Mathis

Buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction — it’s a major life event. That’s why the Southern Homes Team has built a step-by-step system that makes your move smooth, personalized, and successful from beginning to end.

Whether you’re relocating, upgrading, or downsizing, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we handle every detail so you don’t have to.

👋 Step 1: Personal Consultation

We start by getting to know you — your goals, timeline, and concerns. This isn’t a cookie-cutter process. Whether you're a first-time buyer or selling your third home, we customize our strategy to meet your needs.

📈 Step 2: Expert Market Strategy

As Pricing Strategy Advisors (PSA certified), we help you understand the local market. For sellers, that means a custom pricing plan, competitive analysis, and staging advice. For buyers, it means knowing when to act — and when to wait.

📸 Step 3: Premium Marketing (for Sellers)

Our listings stand out with:

Professional photography and drone video
Facebook and Instagram ads
Zillow, Google, and YouTube exposure
Custom property websites
Eye-catching yard signs with text capture riders

Every home we list gets the white-glove treatment — because presentation matters.

📞 Step 4: Clear Communication, Always

You’ll never feel left in the dark. Our team handles all the behind-the-scenes details — from showing schedules and open houses to feedback reports and contract negotiations — while keeping you updated at every step.

📝 Step 5: Transaction Management

Once under contract, our transaction coordinator keeps everything on track. We manage timelines, inspections, repair requests, title work, and lender communications — so you can focus on your upcoming move.

🏁 Step 6: Closing & Beyond

Even after the keys are handed off, we’re still here for you. From utility transfer checklists to vendor referrals and future home planning — we build relationships, not just real estate deals.
