The Selling Process

Your decision to sell your home may be the result of a long anticipated event or due to a sudden change in circumstances. In either case, there are steps you can take to enhance the appeal and marketability of your home.

Consider these factors before setting your price:

Choose a real estate agent

Does the agent offer a marketing plan?
Is the agent familiar with your neighborhood?
Invite the agent to make suggestions to improve your home's appeal
Select a destination
Are there homes available where you want to go?
Will you consider temporary housing to bridge moving date gaps?
Address the financial issues
Will a sale have tax implications?
What is your buying power for a replacement home?
Diligently record your repairs and improvements
Look at your home through a buyer's eyes
Is it clean and uncluttered?
Do systems operate properly?
Has maintenance been deferred?
Understand the competition
Your agent will gladly provide comparative data for your area
Consider touring the competition with your agent
Price your home realistically
Set the stage for buyers
Enhance curb appeal
Make your home inviting
Don't set unnecessary showing restrictions
