Basic Steps to Selling your home

Do your research.
Read books on selling your home, go through the real estate section of the local publications and attend some Open Houses in the your area.

Hire a professional.
As neighborhood real estate agents who concentrate on listing in your area, we know what it takes to sell in this market. We welcome your call, questions, and concerns!

Make the price.
Ask your agent for an analysis of the local market and their opinion of the best price range for your home.

Create a marketing strategy.
Discuss a marketing plan with your agent and include the main elements in the listing presentation.

Make your house ready.
Take a hard, objective look at your home. Prioritize and decide what needs to be done first, and how much time and money you can spend to make it look its best before opening it up to buyers. Dispose of all clutter and put some things in storage to make the rooms and closets more spacious. Put together an information packet on local conveniences, your utility bills and other helpful information.

Think about finding a dependable real estate attorney.
The attorney can help review all the paperwork and explain the logistics.

Remain on top of the process.
Gather some quick clean-up supplies and double check everything before letting a prospective buyer preview your home. Also, keep a record of everyone who has come to see the home (and their agents), and inform your agent after each visit. This can speed the follow-up process that your agent will do.
