THE SELLING GUIDE
Start your sale
with a thoughtful plan.
Prepare for a useful conversation with a local listing agent.
Get your property details together.
Note your property type, location, recent improvements, known concerns, and any dates that matter. You can keep sensitive documents for a direct conversation with your chosen professional.
Decide what a good outcome means.
Your priorities may include timing, convenience, preparation costs, or coordinating another purchase. Share what matters most so your agent can explain the tradeoffs.
Ask how they would approach your home.
- Which recent local sales would you use to discuss a pricing strategy?
- What preparation would you recommend, and why?
- How would you market this particular property?
- Who handles showings, updates, and negotiations?
- Can you explain the proposed services, fees, and agreement terms?
Make room for local knowledge.
Ask your agent about the process and property requirements in your area. A general guide cannot account for every property or market.
Already have an agent?
Let us know before requesting an introduction. Your current relationship needs to be understood before another agent is considered.
