Selling Checklist |
|
|
Be
an informed seller. There is a lot of information
on my website that will assist you and links
to much more information. Gather
as much information as you can to increase your
effectiveness. Please don't hesitate to ask me
anything you are unsure about. |
|
|
Familiarize
yourself on how to price your
house.
Pulling a price "out of the air" is almost
never successful. I will give you a report with comparable
sales, plus a neighborhood demographic profile,
nearby home owners and more. Knowing how much
your home can be worth is one of the first steps
in beginning to market the property. |
|
|
Decide
what you can
and cannot change about your house.
This allows you to concentrate on those items that
bring the highest rewards. |
|
|
Spend
time on the home
preparation phase--it
will probably be the most productive time you can
spend! |
|
|
For
tax purposes, develop a record of all home improvements made
to your house. |
|
|
Decide
whether or not to do a pre-listing house inspection. |
|
|
Have
a yard
sale before you list. Sell, donate, or trash everything
you don't need. |
|
|
Decide
whether you want to offer a home warranty with
your house. Let's talk about that! I've got some
great ideas. |
|
|
Get
familiar with financing options. Be at least as knowledgeable
as your buyers. |
|
|
Work
with me to develop an effective advertising
and marketing plan on
your own or with your Agent. |
|
|
Know
how to best way to show
your home. Or you may want to consider having it professionally staged. |
|
|
When
it is time to negotiate - Relax! I will deal with
offers and
review the contracts with you. |
|
|
Looking
to buy another home? Let me know as soon as possible.
I can start looking for you right away. |
|
|
Make
moving plans early. Don't wait until the last
minute! |
|
|
Know
what is involved at closing
and settlement. If you have any questions, please
ask me to explain. |
|
|
Smile
and breathe a sigh of relief: It's over! |
