The Surprising Steps to Selling Your Home Smoothly

Selling your home doesn’t have to mean stress, confusion, or second-guessing every decision. In fact, with the right approach and the right team behind you, it can be a straightforward and even positive experience.

At Brookings, we speak to sellers every day who are surprised to learn that the process doesn’t have to be chaotic. No pushy sales tactics. No endless tidying for back-to-back viewings. Just a clear, professional plan tailored around you.

Here’s what selling can look like when done well:

Step 1: Understand where you stand

You don’t have to be “ready” to sell to start getting advice. In fact, some of our best results come from early conversations where clients are just dipping a toe in. Whether you’re planning a move next month or just exploring your options for later in the year, a no-pressure valuation gives you clarity and time to make smart decisions.

We’ll help you understand what your property is worth now, what it might be worth after small adjustments, and what buyers are currently paying for similar homes nearby.

Step 2: Get prepared without the overwhelm

There are a few documents and bits of information needed before a sale, such as EPC, leasehold details, or land registry title. But don’t worry, we’ll support you with all of this.  We can connect you with trusted providers, including local solicitors and mortgage advisers if you’re buying onward, and help you think ahead to your next steps.

You won’t be rushed. You’ll be supported.

Step 3: Launch smart

A smart launch is better than a rushed one. We’ll handle professional photos, floorplans, marketing brochures, and listings on Rightmove, Zoopla, and beyond. More importantly, we’ll work with you to decide when and how to launch your property and what is the best day to start your viewings so that it aligns with your goals.

Step 4: You call the shots

Want to move quickly? We’ll drive a focused campaign and manage an open day to get serious offers fast. Need more time to find your next home? We’ll keep buyers updated and set expectations around your timeline. You’re in control, and we’re just here to make it easier.

Step 5: Move forward with confidence

Selling your home is more than a transaction. It’s a big life step. That’s why we prioritise clarity, communication, and care throughout. Our job is to reduce stress, increase certainty, and make sure you always feel supported.
