"What to Expect When Selling a Home in Wichita: Step-by-Step Guide"

By The Stanton Group, LLC – Real Broker | Wichita, Kansas

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Wichita, one of the most helpful things you can do is understand the process before you begin. Knowing what to expect—from prepping your home to closing the deal—gives you peace of mind and sets you up for success.

At The Stanton Group, we walk homeowners through every step of the process. Here’s a clear, simple breakdown of what it’s like to sell a home in Wichita in 2025.

🧠 Step 1: Meet With a Real Estate Agent

Your first move should be connecting with a local expert (like us!) who knows:

• The Wichita market inside and out

• What homes in your neighborhood are really worth

• How to create a custom plan based on your goals

📋 During our consultation, we’ll:

• Walk through your home

• Discuss timing, pricing, and prep

• Answer every question you have

📊 Step 2: Determine the Right Price

Pricing is everything. Overprice it, and buyers won’t bite. Underprice it, and you leave money on the table.

We’ll perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using:

• Recent sales in your area (College Hill, Eastborough, Andover, etc.)

• Your home’s features, size, and condition

• Buyer behavior in today’s market

🎯 Our goal: Price your home to sell quickly and profitably.

🧹 Step 3: Prepare Your Home

You don’t need a full renovation. But buyers love homes that feel clean, well-maintained, and move-in ready.

We’ll help you:

• Declutter and depersonalize

• Make light repairs

• Touch up paint or landscaping

• Stage key rooms for max appeal

📸 Then we’ll schedule professional photography and video to make your home shine online.

📢 Step 4: Launch Your Listing

Your home is now ready for the world—and we make sure it gets seen by the right buyers.

Your listing will be featured on:

• Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin

• Google search results and maps

• Facebook, Instagram, YouTube

• Our buyer database and email campaigns

💡 Most homes in Wichita go under contract within 15–30 days when marketed correctly.

💬 Step 5: Showings, Open Houses & Buyer Feedback

We’ll coordinate all private showings and open houses, ensuring every visitor has a great experience.

You’ll receive:

• Real-time updates

• Honest buyer feedback

• Strategy tweaks (if needed)

🏡 Pro tip: Keep your home show-ready and flexible for appointments—it helps sell faster!

📝 Step 6: Receive & Negotiate Offers

Once buyers start making offers, we:

• Review each one with you in detail

• Negotiate price, repairs, and timelines

• Help you choose the strongest, cleanest offer

💰 In multiple-offer situations, we’ll help you leverage competition for top dollar.

🔍 Step 7: Inspections & Appraisal

Most Wichita home sales involve:

• A home inspection (by the buyer)

• An appraisal (if using a mortgage lender)

If any issues arise, we help you:

• Understand your rights and responsibilities

• Negotiate credits or repairs

• Stay on track for closing

✅ Our experience makes this part smooth—not stressful.

🖊️ Step 8: Closing Day!

You’ve made it to the finish line. On closing day, you’ll:

• Sign final documents (in person or electronically)

• Hand over keys

• Receive your proceeds (often within 24 hours)

🎉 Congratulations—you’ve sold your home!
